Squid Game Lee Yu-mi was nominated for the U.S. Emmy Award for Best Actress.

 While the 74th Primetime Emmy Award nominee was announced at the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS) on the 12th (local time), Lee Yu-mi again proved her global influence by being nominated for the Best Actress in a Drama Series.

Netflix's original series "Squid Game," which became an unprecedented hit and caused a global syndrome, produced 14 candidates in 13 categories, including best picture, in the Emmy Awards drama series, called the Academy Award in the U.S. broadcasting industry for the first time.

Lee Yu-mi, who received a lot of love for her role as Ji-young in the drama, was also nominated for the Best Actress in a Drama Series.

In response, Lee Yoo-mi said, "I am so happy and happy to be nominated for the Fox Guest Award in the drama series at the Emmy Awards for my precious work called Squid Game." I will remember this precious moment and try to come back with good works and various aspects in the future," he said, adding joy.

Lee Yoo-mi, who played Ji-young, a participant in the extreme game who risked her life in the Netflix original series "Squid Game" last year, left a deep lingering impression by deeply capturing the wounds of a person with a dark story and the resulting emotions.

In particular, he became a global star at once, completely mesmerizing viewers around the world with his chemistry depicting a special friendship with Kang Sae-byeok (played by Jung Ho-yeon).

Lee Yu-mi's move to the world class continued in 2022. For the first time as a Korean actor, he was selected as a global campaign model for Prada Group's brand Miu Miu and wrote a meaningful record of "the first Korean actor."

In the Netflix series "Now Our School," which received worldwide attention shortly after its release, she drew critical acclaim with semi-villain Lee Na-yeon and imprinted three names properly.

It also showed overwhelming power in the Korean film industry. Lee Yoo-mi, who began to stand out as Se-jin, a juvenile delinquent in the 2018 movie Park Hwa-young, delicately expressed the reality of teenagers exposed to all kinds of dangers by Se-jin, an 18-year-old main character pregnant with a child, with rich acting skills.

The unprecedented performance shocked the audience and won the Rookie of the Year awards in the 30th Buil Film Awards, the 8th Korean Film Writers' Association Awards, and the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards, making a clear eye for the next generation to lead Korean films.

Lee Yoo-mi, who has made headlines for every movie she starred in, has played more than her role, and has shown her power with every step of her life. She has been waiting for a chance to prove herself, so she is looking forward to her future move.
