Lee Byung-hun has had his home trashed by burglars.
The Squid Game star, 53, was away from home when a member of his team reportedly called in to check in on his property in LA only to find that it had been ransacked.
Sources told TMZ that the thieves had ‘smashed a sliding glass door’ to gain access to his home.

The actor – who played Front Man in the Netflix series, will be working with police over the coming days to determine what has happened, according to the outlet.
