Actress Jeong Ho-yeon was the only Korean actor to be selected as the ‘Phenoms’ of ‘TIME100 NEXT’ in the US.
On the 28th (local time), a leading US weekly news magazine ‘TIME’ announced the list of ‘TIME100 NEXT’, an extension of ‘Time 100’. ‘TIME100 NEXT’ is a selection of 100 next-generation leaders who are shaping the future in various fields such as business, entertainment, sports, politics, health, science and activism.
Jeong Ho-yeon was named as a ‘Phenoms’, which selects newcomers who have gained a syndrome-like popularity in a field. Director Hwang Dong-hyeok of ‘Squid Game’ said, “I think that Jeong Ho-Yeon is fighting her fame, expectations, jealousy for her success, and her own desires every day. I often joke about her and call her ‘Warrior’. There’s no doubt that she has the skills and courage to fight a lot of battles. And I hope her acting will become a place of rest, not a battlefield.”
Jeong Ho-yeon was named in the “Phenoms” category along with famous Hollywood actor Sydney Sweeney, NBA basketball player Ja Morant, and famous Hollywood actor Simon Ashley. In addition, world-class pop star Caesar (SZA), actor Lily Collins, Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister and Digital Innovation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, and U.S. Utah Governor Spencer Cox.
