Things You Didn't Know About Jung Ho-yeon
Jung Ho-yeon was born on June 23, 1994, who is a South Korean fashion model and actress.
By now, you've binged or at least heard of Squid Game.
As the series has become more popular, so has Jung,
who is now one of the most-followed South Korean actresses on Instagram, with 22 million fans.
With an undeniable on-screen presence and her raw and vulnerable portrayal of character
Kang Sae-byeok (a.k.a number 067), she's quickly garnered an international following.
That's enough for the background info.
So, let's dive into the things you didn't know about her.
Jung Ho-yeon was born and raised in Myeonmok-dong, a small neighborhood on the outskirts of Seoul,
and reportedly has two siblings - a younger brother and a sister named Jung Ji-yeon.
Her father runs a soup restaurant in Seoul.
Ho-yeon went to Hyewon Girls' High School and graduated from
Dongduk Women's University and majored in modeling.
She worked as a freelancer at Seoul Fashion Week during her teenage,
getting cast in shows without help from an agency.
Within six years, she’d found representation on her own,
placed second in the fourth season of Korea’s Next Top Model in 2013.
After her success on Top Model, Jung was hitting the runway for labels such as
Louis Vuitton and Channel. She also dyed her hair red, which became her signature.
Disney Princess Ariel from “The Little Mermaid” inspired her to choose this color.
Most recently, Louis Vuitton announced that they
have chosen Ho-yeon as their new global Maison Ambassador.
When we first meet Sae-byeok, her gaze is cold and she barely utters a word. In particular,
the chemistry that Jung Ho-yeon and Lee Yu-mi completed in 'Squid Game'
is affectionate and is loved all over the world.
She's best friends with BLACKPINK's Jennie who not only sent a coffee truck to the set
of Squid Game to support Jung, but she also paid a visit and snapped a really cute photo on the set.
You might have seen her in a few music videos, like "Going Crazy" by Lee Hyori,
100%’s “Beat” and Kim Yeon-woo’s "Move".
She is a big fan of the South Korean rock band NELL (넬).
Jung Ho-yeon is neither single nor ready to mingle, folks!
She has been dating actor Lee Dong-hwi since 2015,
though they only admitted to their relationship in 2016.

The fun fact is that her boyfriend also played
the same movie "Extreme Job" with Gong-myung and Lee Hanee in 2019.
Talking about her favorite food, Ho-yeon chose seafood.
She said, "I like shrimp and sashimi,
I like all kinds of seafood, especially squid so much. I can survive without eating meat.”
Jung often shared moments with her sister dog,
Yang Gaeng. She loves to make funny videos with cats and dogs.
Constantly on the road for modeling, she’d marathon movies as an off-duty escape,
watching favorites like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Begin Again,
Roma, Maudie, Charlie's Angels, and Kill Bill repeatedly.
She said one of her favorite film performances is that of Amy Adams in the Academy Award-nominated
drama “Doubt,” and one of her favorite novels is “The Vegetarian,” by South Korean writer Han Kang.
"Stranger Things" and the German TV series "Dark" are
some of her most favorite tv-series of all time.
