There's great fan art of you two out there. TV: The chemistry you guys have is great. It was one of the best experiences of my career working with Yoo-mi. It is different but, in a way, very connected. For me, I try to put on a very bright face, a perky face all the time, whereas Sae-byeok tries to hide herself. I think the emotions that they truly feel within them and what they try to show to others, the mask that they put on, is different. HJ: This is probably something that all humans go through, it’s a universal thing. TV: You recently said that you related to Sae-byeok a lot because she was lonely and you, too, felt lonely during your modeling gigs overseas. I wanted to really prepare for them very thoroughly beforehand. And I also tried to practice and learn martial arts because it was my first time doing action scenes.

I tried to study them to find out how to gather my emotions. I think I was inspired mostly by those documentaries. The rest of the time she just speaks in a South Korean accent.Īs I was researching the character, I tried to watch a lot of North Korean defector-related documentaries. She only speaks in a North Korean accent when she's with her brother or close friends, or when she's really angry. She came to South Korea when she was very little, she knows that it's no good for her to speak in a North Korean accent, so she tried hard to fix it already. Sae-byeok’s background is that it's been some time since she's moved to the South. HJ: I practiced Sae-byeok’s accent with actual North Korean defectors, and she speaks specifically the 함경북도 사투리, which is the Northern Hamgyŏng province dialect. What else did you do to research the role? Was it challenging to not only get your first big role but to have it be so specific in terms of background? TV: Your character, Sae-byeok, is a North Korean defector, and you spent time working with a coach on the accent and the satoori, the dialect. TV: I think it's good that the red hair had to go then.

Maybe it was because people felt less interested about my hair color, but this also meant more time for me to spend on my hobbies, watching films and Netflix series. slowly to darker tones and that kind of with my career started to decline. I think I kept it for about two years and I just felt like I couldn't do it anymore. You have to dye it every two weeks and this meant just torture for my scalp. I'm a very flexible person!īut, it's very difficult to maintain red hair. At that moment, I don't think I can do modeling at the same time as acting, but, if I don't have a time, then I could do modeling.

HJ (in English): I hope I can do both but, physically, I think if I got a role or a new series came in, then I’d have to focus on the shooting. TV: Are you done with the fashion world at all? Or are you going to continue modeling on the side? I did the second audition after coming to Korea, face to face, and I got the part right away. And actually, the first audition was a video audition that I took when I was in New York and the director wanted to see me in person. When my modeling agency contract ended and I moved to an acting agency, this was the first script that I got for my first open audition, and I got the role after auditioning for the part. Squid Game came at a moment where I was really thinking seriously about my acting career, so I wanted to put this into action finally. In total, I think I took about three months of acting lessons. I was modeling overseas but, during the holiday seasons, summer and winter, I came back to Korea for some time and I took acting lessons for about a month at a time. I felt that urge to express myself on screen. and I had nothing to do but watch movies, Netflix series, or read books. Back then, it was only one of the options that I was considering, and I wasn't really serious about it, but as I started my career overseas, I had a lot of alone time in airplanes, hotels. This was about five years after I’d started modeling. I started to think about my next steps and that's when I figured maybe it could be a good idea to start acting. I started to worry about what I should do when I had no job at all. But I think I kind of put a lot of thought into other options as my modeling career was slowly declining.

I think that even when you grow old, you can still continue modeling if you have that willingness. I used to hear people say that models have very short careers, which I don't really agree with. Hoyeon Jung: This all goes back to the very beginning. When and why did you decide to go into acting? Teen Vogue: So, it might not look like it, but Squid Game is your acting debut.
