The Korean survivalist drama Squid Game can truly be called a cultural reset. Ever since its release on September 17, the show has gained massive popularity and is on its way to become streaming service Netflix’s biggest show yet. The actors too have been launched into fame, especially actress Jung Ho-yeon, who played Player 067 in the show. Ho-yeon started her career as a model and Squid Game was her acting debut. She has also gained 15 million followers on Instagram, becoming the most followed Korean actress on the platform.
This is not the extent of her achievements. She was recently appointed as the international brand ambassador of the luxury brand Louis Vuitton. Ho-yeon joins the sensational K-pop band BTS as the second and only individual ambassador of the brand. In fact, the new development is special for Ho-yeon, as she had walked the runway for Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2017 show. She had also appeared in the brand’s pre-Fall 2017 ready-to-wear campaign.
