Squid Game’s Jung Ho-yeon becomes first Asian model to appear on Vogue magazine cover – Times of India

Actress Jung Ho-yeon, who debuted with Netflix’s original series ‘Squid Game’, has become the cover model of Vogue magazine’s February issue. Jung Ho-yeon is the first Asian model to be singled out on the cover of US Vogue in 130 years since its first issue.

In an interview with Vogue in the US, Jang Ho-yeon said, “One month after the release of ‘Squid Game’ my life has changed.” She also said that she is working hard to learn English, train poses and voices, and expand her worldview through various arts and films.

Regarding Jang Ho-yeon, Vogue said, “If there is any Korean word to accurately describe Jung Ho-yeon, it is ‘Yol-shim’, which means something like labor.” Vogue also added, “For working hard, putting your heart and soul into everything, until it feels like you can explode.”

Jang Ho-yeon has been living in the US since coming to the US to promote “Squid Game” late last year. She attended the LACMA Gala and CFDA Fashion Awards and also attended the Gotham Awards as a presenter. ‘Squid Game’ wins Best Long-Form TV Series at Gotham Awards.
