The photoshoot and interview article of global star and Hollywood actress Jung Ho-yeon have been published in five languages—English, Korean, French, Chinese, and Japanese—on the global fashion platform SSENSE magazine’s website (ssense.com). The article, titled “How Hoyeon Conquered Hollywood” and “How to Live Like Jung Ho-yeon,” focuses on Jung Ho-yeon’s journey from model to actress and her breakthrough into Hollywood.
As the main feature of SSENSE’s first Korean location editorial, Jung Ho-yeon shared stories about the production process ahead of the October 11th release of Apple TV+’s “Disclaimer.” She expressed her concerns, saying, “I was worried if I could properly convey the emotions of the English-speaking world. But there are things you can only know by facing them head-on, so I did. And it was a great environment to face challenges because of veterans like Alfonso Cuarón and Cate Blanchett. Rather than being afraid of the pain or difficulties that come with challenges, I find happiness in the growth that comes with each project as I imagine my future self overcoming these steps.”
In 2022, Jung Ho-yeon made history as the first Asian solo cover model for ‘Vogue US’ and became the first Korean to win the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series at the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG). She was also the first Korean actor to be nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards. By breaking records that no other Korean had achieved, she has become a cultural icon.
Despite becoming a global fashion model, Jung Ho-yeon has not stopped challenging herself, making a successful acting debut through “Squid Game.” In this interview, she delivers a resonant message about the beauty of taking on challenges and self-confidence to those living in the same era. She said, “We live in a world where what I do can be defined as what Jung Ho-yeon does, without being limited by labels such as model or actress.”
World-renowned actress and Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett told SSENSE, “Hoyeon is filled with laughter, passion, and curiosity, but she has an amazing ability to transform into a focused and goal-oriented character. She has an incredible work ethic and remains incredibly humble despite her tremendous achievements. I loved every moment of working with her.”
