Aside from her Squid Game co-=stars, HoYeon has some recognisable friends you might already know. The model/actress is close with Jennie from the K-pop group Blackpink, and Jennie even visited HoYeon while she was filming Squid Game.
"Jennie was happy for me ever since I told her I was cast in Squid Game," HoYeon said in an interview, as translated by Soompi. "She sent me a coffee truck, and she actively cheered me on by even uploading to her social media."
