You could say life has come full circle for Jung Ho-yeon as she used to model before landing her first acting stint on Netflix’s Squid Game. In fact, she had walked the runway for Louis Vuitton’s Spring-Summer 2017 show and also appeared in its pre-Fall 2017 ready-to-wear campaign, thus making her new collaboration with the fashion label no less than a homecoming for the actress albeit in a much bigger way than how she was last associated with it.
