luck. The actress recently opened up about her experience as Sae-byeok and
acting. So, let us look at the debutant’s acting journey that helped her bag a

HOW DID JUNG HO-YEON FORAY INTO ACTING?

For the uninitiated, Jung Ho-Yeon was a model before she explored the acting
field. “I had even more time on my hands when my career was slowing,” the
actress explained. “I delved into even more films and books, and began to think
I’d like to express myself in that artform someday. That desire started to grow.
So every time I returned to Korea I’d take month-long acting lessons and slowly
grew my dream.“

Since Sae-byeok was Jung’s debut acting role, she had some nerves at the
beginning. Jung Ho-Yeon related acting with modeling when she expressed her
thoughts about acting for the first time: “It was like when I was modeling, I
felt like I hated every single photoshoot I did, the way I walked on every
runway. That’s similar to how I felt this time.”

JUNG HO-YEON’S PREPARATION FOR SAE-BYEOK

Jung Ho-Yeon lived the role of Sae-byeok, of course not literally, but she got
into the right headspace. Sae-byeok’s portrayal showed meticulous preparation
and execution by Jung Ho-Yeon. Thus, the actress elaborated: “I started writing
a diary for Sae-byeok, about everything that she went through. The smells, the
emotions, the sounds she heard. I began adding more and more detail.”

Squid Game [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/squid-game] had many physically and
emotionally draining scenes. And if we, as the audience, felt the heat, then the
actors must have had a hard time filming. “There’s this scene where Sae-byeok is
alone in the bathroom, which doesn’t come until later in the show, but we filmed
it relatively early in the process,” Jung Ho-Yeon described her most challenging
scene.
