Squid Game is the new Netflix series everyone is talking about right now. The series has rave reviews, scores 100 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, and is backed to be the biggest show Netflix has ever created. It follows a bunch of cash-strapped players, who are desperate for the prize money the dangerous and deathly tournament offers – so much so they will put their lives at risk for it. One of those players in Squid Game is 067, a complex character who is played by HoYeon Jung. In real life, Squid Game is the first major acting role for HoYeon, and she’s actually a very successful model with millions of Instagram followers. Here’s everything you need to know about her.

Player 067 in Squid Game is her first major acting role

Squid Game is the first time HoYeon Jung has had a major TV role. However, she does have other Netflix connections. She’s friends with Jennie from the South Korean girlband BLACKPINK, who had a Netflix documentary made about them in 2020. HoYeon Jung has said in an interview she feels she is fairly similar to Kang Sae-byeok, or player 067, her character in Squid Game. “More than anything, I think I was able to accept [the character] Sae-byeok without any big difficulties because I am similar to her,” she said. “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.”
