How Hoyeon Jung of ‘Squid Game’ went from model to star of netflix’s biggest hit.
* had you hanging by the edge of your seat, you aren’t alone. Since its debut in September, the series has moved from hit to cultural phenomenon, quickly becoming the most streamed original program ever to grace the platform. Fast-paced and gore filled, the nine episodes created by writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk kept everyone guessing until the very end—even the cast. For Hoyeon Jung—who plays secretive pickpocket Kang Sae-byeok, a.k.a. Competitor 067—the mystery began during auditions.
Connecting with the character’s inner world made it easier to bring a powerful story to life. A North Korean defector who has entered the game to raise enough money to support her younger brother, Sae-byeok is among the most sympathetic characters in the series. Her motivations—and the odds stacked against her—make her journey compelling for the audience and performer.
Though she’s eager to test her skills with a role in a fantasy story or romantic drama, Jung isn’t quitting her fashion day job just yet. “The people I work with and the experiences are what’s most important,” she says. “I just love to work, even if it’s something I’ve already done.” Given’s success, Jung’s name has undoubtedly moved to the top of every casting director’s list in Hollywood and fashion.
