hey what's going on guys welcome back to yet another video if you guys are
interested in becoming a model or an actor i highly suggest that you guys consider
subscribing because i make awesome videos on a weekly basis that you guys are gonna love
so guys i just finished watching Squid Game and oh my gosh this show is absolutely crazy and i
can see why this is trending worldwide and if you guys have not seen the show definitely start
right after this video start episode 1 immediately because the show is going to blow your mind
and if you have watched the show let me know what you guys thought about episode six in
the comment box down below all right guys so i'm not going to give any spoilers about the
show but i do want to talk about HoYeon who's one of the actress in the show Squid Game and i
want to talk about her modeling career and how she was able to transition from model to actin
which a lot of top models have done successfully so let's talk about that coming right up
so before the show HoYeon who's 27 years old she was already a supermodel in korea and a top model
in the united states as well she was raised in the outskirts of seoul in south korea she
started modeling at the age of 16. she would then go on to appear in korea's next top model season
four where she eventually became the runner-up and what's funny is that her story actually
reminds me a lot of yaya da costa she appeared on america's next top model and she was the runner up
and now she was able to transition her modeling career and to become an actress and you guys have
seen her on a lot of tv shows and movies so in 2017 hoyon actually came to the united states
and participated in new york fashion week she was part of the opening ceremony and she modeled
for rag and bone during new york fashion week where she wore an all-red attire with her new
hairstyle which was all red this red hairstyle became her signature look and as a fun fact her
signature red hair was actually the inspiration behind jihan's red hair transformation at the
very end of the season after having some success in new york fashion week in 2017 holyone then
thought she would try out her chances in new york she moved there the following year this
is my first christmas in new york so i want to experience everything and during her time in new
york she did admit that she was very lonely she spent a lot of time reading books watching movies
and slowly her passion for modeling began to fade and she felt like she needed to challenge herself
so this is when she took up some acting classes and again i've recommended on this channel so
many times models need to have some sort of acting background or acting experience it helps to take
classes because a lot of times models are sent for tv commercials and that requires a little
bit of active skills as well so if you're a model thinking about eventually transitioning
into becoming an actor you definitely want to take some notes here hoya did move on to find
representation as an actor and then she was given her first script to read an audition for and that
script was squid game she studied the script and then she sent a self-tape audition and a couple
of weeks later she learned that she got casted and this is how her career took off and it's continued
to take off so for those of you who have watched the show holyon plays a north korean immigrant
in south korea so she had to have a different accent from the rest of her castmates and what
she did was that she hired a dialogue coach and learned how to speak in a north korean accent
another thing that she did to have an outstanding performance as player number 67 she channeled her
time in new york where she felt very lonely and isolated and then brought that energy into the
character and i think it's pretty apparent in the way she portrayed the role so a lot of great
things has happened for HoYeon Jung since the show and i anticipate even more opportunities and
more roles i could see her even breaking into hollywood for sure um her instagram following
went from 400,000 to currently about 17 million and counting she also recently got a contract with
louis vuitton to be the global ambassador and then she got a collab with adidas original to
create her own look for the addy color campaign so this is a brief summary of hoyon's modeling career
and how she was able to transition from being a model to becoming an actress drop a comment if
