Actor Lee Jung-jae of the Netflix series 'Squid Game' won the Best Male Performance Award in a New Scripted Series at the Independent Spirit Awards in the United States.

Lee Jung-jae was named the winner of the Best Male Performance Award in the TV category at the 37th Independent Spirit Awards held in Santa Monica, California on the 6th (local time).

The Independent Spirit Awards is an American independent film awards ceremony that began in 1984. It is called the Oscars (Academy Awards) of the American independent film industry. At the Independent Spirit Awards last year, actress Yoon Yeo-jeong won the Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in the movie 'Minari'.

It became the highest-grossing film in Netflix's history, creating a global syndrome and peaking in the status of K-content.
