Squid Games star's Irn-Bru verdict as he tries Scotland's other national drink for the first time
Although we still haven't gotten over the loss of the old recipe, it's fair to say Irn-Bru is still one of Scotland's proudest exports.
So, whenever a TV star or celebrity tries it, we are more than ready to defend it, however, it appears that we don't have to with the lead actor from the hit show Squid Game.
A brilliant clip has resurfaced of South Korean star Lee Jung-jae, who plays Seong Gi-hun on the Netflix fave, being given our other national drink to try as the second series of the show finally hits our screens.

The former model was a little perplexed when he was given it to try by staff at LadBible.
But the actor was soon delighted, although a little shocked by the fact the famous soft drink was first made back in 1901.
Taking a sip on camera, he exclaims: "Wow, this is delicious. But how did they create this flavour back in 1901?"
Lee is so impressed that he chooses it over his own national soft drink Milkis (a Korean soft drink that combines milk, carbonated water, and sugar).
Thrilled by his verdict, TikTok star Andy the Highlander responded to the clip: "A man of taste."
While another fan jokingly asked it if it would "mix well with soju".
The official Irn-Bru account then joked: "We might be old but we've still got it."
It's not the first time Squid Game has had a brush with Scottish culture, in 2021, Still Game star Sanjeev Kohli, who plays Navid in the beloved Scottish series, joked that there have been "millions" who have ended up taking a detour to Craiglang after confusing the two on Netflix.
Taking to Twitter, he said: "A big hello to the millions of you have found Still Game on Netflix thinking it was Squid Game. If you’re wondering when the culling starts, it’s at the end of season nine so stick with it."
