HoYeon Jung aka Jung Ho-Yeon is a South Korean Actress and Model, she shot to fame after playing the role of Kang Sae-byeok aka 067 in Netflix’s hit k-drama Squid Game, Kang Sae-byeok is a North Korean defector who needs money to reunite her family. On September 17, 2021, she made her acting debut with the release of the Netflix series Squid Game and in an interview with NME, she shared her experience about the Netflix show “I remember how I spent all my time reading the script apart from when I ate food. I sent the video in, and the director contacted me, asking me to meet in person. So I dropped everything and flew in right away.” Then, Jung continued “When my CEO told me I’d been casted, the first thing I said was, ‘Why?’ I was so happy when I heard the news, but it was like a greater fear had taken over me. [I was like] ‘Thank you very much, but I can do this?.”
Later, HoYeon Jung in an interview with W Korea opened up about her character and said “I watched a lot of documentaries about North Korean defectors. I also practiced speaking in a North Korean accent with a teacher, and studied a lot,” and added “More than anything, I think I was able to accept [the character] Sae-byeok without any big difficulties because I am similar to her. In 2016, I left Korea to further my modelling career overseas, and I spent a lot of time alone. At the time, the emotion that I felt the most was ‘loneliness’… That feeling of loneliness while trying to persevere and live isn’t all that different.”
