HoYeon Jung talked about her instant stardom in Vogue's February 2022 cover story.

She revealed the cause of her weight loss.

She said: “I don't know why, but I couldn't eat.”

Jung added: “I was so confused, and it was so chaotic. I didn't believe it. I didn't trust it.”

She also shared that her younger sister commended her acting in “Squid Game.”

The model turned actress also shared how her mom viewed her on the series.

She said, “My mom did joke that my acting was very realistic, like when I’m being mean to her.”

Jung said she “didn't even have time to pack my things” during the callback.

She had to leave her NYC apartment, including her “Balmuda oven and a brand-new naembi [pot].”
