Wong’s making headlines as a Chinese-speaking VIP in the final season of Squid Game, but she’s also starred in numerous Hong Kong films – off-screen, she enjoys time with her Japanese husband and cat

Jane Wong’s striking portrayal of the only Chinese-speaking female VIP in Squid Game season three instantly captured global attention with her beautiful smile, fluent English and an unexpected line of dialogue in Mandarin. In episode four, while waiting for the next round of the game to begin, she decides to leave her seat. Another male VIP asks her in a flirtatious tone, “Where are you going? Don’t do that. Have a drink with me.” She responds in Mandarin, “I’d rather drink with a stool than with you”.

However, many drama fans have criticised her dubbed voice as annoying and awkward. Netizens commented under a post on Facebook, “Her voice is so fake, it’s like some AI voices.” The performances of these VIPs, who watched the deadly game unfold for their twisted amusement, were generally slammed as “the most cringe-inducing part” of the series as they were in season one.
