JungHoYeon reveals she had fallen ill after 'Squid Game' and decided to take a one-week break from work 😥

A lot has changed for Asian representation on screen since Sandra Oh first put on her scrubs as Cristina Yang on “Grey’s Anatomy” over 17 years ago.

“I met a lot of Asian American people who said to me that ‘Oh, thank you for representing us. Oh, we are so proud of you.’ At the beginning, it was just happy,” Jung begins. “But I also think about ‘I came from Korea, I lived in Korea almost my whole life — am I allowed to represent them.’”Oh points out the difference between now, and even just four years ago when billboard ads featuring Jung or other Asian Americans were hardly ever seen while driving through Los Angeles.

It’s not so easy for Jung, who says she’s aimed to strike a balance between upholding the responsibility and trying not to overthink it, all within the short period of time since her role in “Squid Game” changed her life.“Things go so quick for me, because it was just my first project. I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to be an actor,’ and then I did an audition and then I got it. Suddenly, Ho-yeon, you are here!” she says.

Jung reveals she had also fallen ill after “Squid Game” and that she had allowed herself a one-week break from work because of it.

I thought she was quite brave to run into the burning car. As for the drivers that died, I guess I would understand the public’s opinion on them because this accident could have very well killed multiple innocent ppl. Please if anybody reading this knows her, let her know she is a wonderful person being brave and strong going through all this. I hope she finds her peace and live a happy life.
