Squid Game is a story about human nature that most people can already relate to, yet everything is communicated through easy-to-follow childhood games.

At the beginning, I thought that a model should be a sexy girl or should just be a really gorgeous girl or should be a cute girl or just very calm. Now, as time passes, I found that modeling can be more complicated and I can be inspired by many things besides just poses in magazines.

More quotes by HoYeon Jung

Just the fact that so many people around the world are showing their interest puts me in a good mood.

I think the emotions that they truly feel within them and what they try to show to others, the mask that they put on, is different.

There is definitely no fear. When I first went abroad as a model, I felt like I was heading to the ground, but now I think I can make a clearer plan and approach it flexibly.

I was just so happy that I got a role and could give a performance. I still feel nervous at the thought of meeting an audience through the screen. I never dreamed that the show would become such a global sensation.

So many things are happening right now, so I'm in the process of digesting everything and putting things in order. I think it's too early for me to say that this is my goal or this is my plan. I’m just going to try and do my best to live every day to the fullest.
