Years before Squid Game breakout star Hoyeon Jung became an A-list fixture on the international fashion red carpet, she got her start on reality television, as runner-up on Korea’s Next Top Model, and walking runways in Seoul fashion shows. Fast forward to 2021, and Jung has transformed into the image industry’s It-girl—starring in luxury campaigns for fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton and Calvin Klein.
