To further my idea of Jung being listed 5’11 1/8 on here.
It’s been said by everyone that he’s on the cusp of 180-181 cm, him being listed as 180 cms but still a strong 5’11 would likely satisfy pretty much everyone

Hey Rob, I know you don’t really use the 1/8 measuring that often, but maybe you can make Jung Jae an Exception?
He seems in the middle of 5’11 flat and 5’11.25 so why not give him 5’11 1/8

Editor RobI'm trying to whittle the few that are remaining, only a few rare exceptions are remaining at the moment.
But it's true that he may well fall into that category of between 11 and 11.25.

In all these photos,I think his posture is not bad enough to loose height.Even if he's over 5ft 11,not sure as high as 181.

Editor RobEither 5ft 11 or 11.25 for him. I can see both, and maybe at the moment I'm 50/50 on either!

I think this is the fairest height area I can give Cumberbatch, Hae Soo, and Jung Jae
Cumberbatch: 5’11.5-.6 (181.6-181.9 cm)
Park Hae Soo: 5’11.35-.5 (181.3-181.6 cm)
Lee Jung Jae: 5’11.15-.25 (180.7-181 cm)

@amrithh, I can at least see 5’11.1-.15 area being his lowest area in height while 5’11.25-.3 can be his highest range
As for Park, 5’11.25 would be the lowest I’d guess and 5’11.35 could be the highest

I agree with you @5'8 ish guy… he looks a very solid 5’11, 90% of the time. Definitely no less than 5’11 for him. I’d be very shocked and surprised, if he measured anything below 180.5-181.3 in the afternoon.

Park hae soo at 181 or 181.5(seems that with Cumberbatch whom Rob met) would put Jung Jae down to 180.
Atleast we know Park has that slight edge.

@5'8 ish guy,he's not a weak 5ft 11er for sure.
But Park Hae soo may himself be either 181 or 181.5 with Cumberbatch from this pic. Click Here
For Park himself,11.5-75 could be too much.

The only times he looks a weak 5’11 is when his posture is bad or when someone is closer to the camera than him
5’11.25 seems to be the safest option in my honest opinion

Rob,Byung looks more than 1.25in shorter than Kang sang-ho(177cm) ,1st and the red carpet pics. 5ft 8.25 for byung and flat 5ft 11 for jung jae might really be reasonable as jung jae
doesnt seem 181 with Park hae soo and Top.

Rob,maybe jung jae should be brought back to flat 5ft 11 and byung should be downgrade.Park hae soo( squid game season 1 costar) has noticable the edge on him but he himself is edged by/similar to Bennedict cumberbatch.
Also Jung jae makes top look almost 5ft 11er easily

So you think his footwear only gives him a 0.5 inch advantage? :-)

Editor RobCould be around 180cm with the footballer. 5ft 11 flat could be the closer fit for him. The footwear I'm not sure exactly what the insole is like on the racing boots, so the advantage could be anywhere within 0.5-0.75 zone.
Andrea said on 20/Jul/25
Have you seen him with Lando Norris, Rob? Click Here
Personally, I could even see close to 2.5 inches from all the photos, BUT if his footwear advantage is more than 0.5 inch (which to me seems very likely) or Lando isn't over 5'9 (as you seem to believe), I wouldn't really guess him as high as 181...Editor Rob

Park Hae-soo who played Sang-woo in Squid Game always looked a bit taller than Lee both in and off the show even tho Park himself is listed at 181 and 182 too. He may have had a better posture than Lee tho. Id' still say 5'11 is on point and no less than 180cm for Lee. Park could be 5'11 1/2

always thought solid 180cm, maybe a bit over closer to 181cm. think photos with Liam Neeson and Jung Woo Sung tends to consolidate 181cm possibility

I agree, should definitely add Choi Seung Hyun (TOP). Over 20 million IG followers and one of the biggest stars in Squid Game and rapper. Netflix is pushing him like crazy.
T.O.P is definitely somewhere between 5'10 and 5'11. I'd say 5'10.5 is the best listing.

Choi Seung Hyun usually looked pretty tall in squid game, Lee was probably one of the only ones he didn’t edge out in the show
For me I’d probably give him the 5’10.5-.75 range

Both are wearing flat shoes but some postural differences, I attached two photos.

I posted the Squid Game clip because they're side by side in the flattest shoes (white vans) so equal footwear, Lee jUng jae looks 3 inches taller.

Should definitely get a page because She's just as famous as PSY, IU & other K-pop singers etc.
Regarding her height, maybe she did measure "157.8cm" on Carpet & is actually a legit 5'2.5" person, It's quite a distinct possibility that she under-measured herself as do some ppl.

Yeah he certainly looks taller than every one of them except for mingyu. I also doubt woozi is the 5'5 he's listed as, he looks too small to be that height. He's probably around 5'3, if that.

@Editor Rob,
What convinced u that he’s 5’11” flat?
With ppl like Byung Hun Lee, Liam Nesson, Steven Colbert, Dong-Seok Ma & Ho Yeon Jung (especially), He’s clearly a Strong 5’11” (if not 11.5” arguably). In addition, He’s similar to Jang Dong-Gun and Kwon Sang Woo (Both strong 5’11”) & taller than Bong Joon-Ho (who’s also clearly taller than Jake Gyllenhaal). 5’11” flat doesn’t make any sense from what I’m seeing.
He’s Listed 181-2cm on his Korean profiles & wouldn’t surprise me if he claims that.

Ian Momo 'Questionable 5'10' said on 1/Jan/22
i think he's a good 5'11, he can look like it easily with Liam Neeson, who i think today are just 6'3 with a little fraction, tho he can look like 5'10 guy with Leonardo DiCaprio, and in squid game, he slouch a lot, i used to think he was only 5'10 ish or maybe even my height.

@JHJ Fair enough. I think that range hovers around above average to tall in comparison to the general male population; with actors having a higher average in height compared to men overall. 5’11 is most likely above average for South Korean males.

@Malcolm Oliver
Yeah I think 5'10-6'1 seems fair. I haven't done research but for all I know most Korean male actors are in 178-183cm range.

@JHJ What would you say the average height for actors is? Obviously it differs from country to country, but I would say the range between 5’10-6’1 is fair.

@a 5'11.5
Actually Jung-jae is not tall considering he's an actor. In Korea, male actors are a bit taller than average men.

Did you manage to find a claim/agency's listing, Rob?
Without having more known people to compare him with, I guess this is possible...
With Neeson he can actually look at least 6'-6'1 (assuming Neeson is near his 6'3.5 listing), but then the same Neeson doesn't even look 6'3 most of the time (in recent years at least)...

Editor RobI didn't see an obvious one
Crab said on 17/Nov/21
Huh, with Neeson I would have guessed 5ft 11 1/2, but that photo with DiCaprio he barely looks 5ft 10. It's possible since we can't see their feet, that Leo has some kind of offscreen advantage, or Lee is stooping slightly. He is definitely not sub 5ft 10 unless he has some crazy good lifts, so I assume that Leo photo is an anomaly.
5ft 11.

Seeing that photo with DiCaprio too makes me question 5’11, but in most other instances, he seems to maintain that height with others. Will give him the benefit of the doubt and say he’s at that mark.

Yeah he really does look quite solid near Neeson, would’ve guessed him a six footer from those shots alone.

I'm not quiet sure about his height, i've seen some recent pictures where he is next to Liam Neeson and hold ups pretty well. But there are other photos, like him next to Leonardo Dicaprio, where Jung jae looks considerably shorter, but it's hard to tell. Also there is another pic of Harry Shum Jr (listed at 5'11) next to squid game cast, and he looks taller than Jung-Jae and also Park Hae-Soo.

@Rob how tall do you think Park Hae-Soo is? He seems to have an inch on Jung-Jae

Editor RobHe looked a bit taller, but only an inch I feel because of postural difference.

If I'm not mistaken the average height of young men in northern and urban China is 5'9-5'10. You're right though it's really not surprising to see Asian guys that are in the 5'10-6'1 range. Very common actually

5'9 is definitely about average for East Asian men. The number of Chinese guys I see above that mark is insane.

@Editor Rob,
Good Addition! How tall is Jang Dong-Gun then?

Legit 181cm seems very fair, If Jung is 5’11” himself.
What do u think Rob?

Editor RobThey could look quite close, when Jung has better posture, so that 181 figure seems believable.

Average height of young Korean men is like 5'9. One of the tallest averages in Asia and not much lower than most Western countries.

Looks this listing and could even look taller at times in Squid Game IMO. The "taller" members of the male cast all looked 5'10-5'11 range. He slouches a lot during squid game, but still gave off a "Tall" impression compared to the majority of the cast.

Jung-jae looks quite tall, and I can believe 5ft11.
So he was in 'Deliver Us From Evil', was he? What a brilliant film, and very scary. I'll be looking out for him next time I see it.
5ft11. 😃👌
