Jung Ho Yeon (playing Sae Byeok) impressed audiences with her incredible acting in Netflix’s popular K-Drama Squid Game. Having her first acting experience was almost mind-blowing!
However, model-actress Jung Ho Yeon revealed that she had many doubts about her abilities while filming the drama.
In an interview with Netflix Korea, Jung Ho Yeon admitted that she once talked to fellow actors Kim Joo Ryoung (playing Mi Nyeo) and Park Hae Soo (playing Sang Woo) about his insecurities.
One night after filming ended, the three of them were out for a walk, and Jung Ho Yeon collapsed in front of them. She talked to them because she felt that his acting was lacking.
We walked at night after the shoot, and I cried, saying that my acting wasn’t good enough.

Kim Joo Ryoung and Park Hae Soo said they disagreed, not allowing her to believe her own words for a second. They did their best to comfort her and it helped to cheer her up! 🥰 🥰
But they comforted me and said nice things. They cheered me up a lot.

Jung Ho Yeon also expressed her concerns to actress Lee Yoo Mi (who plays Ji Yeong) during filming.
Similar to Kim Joo Ryeong and Park Hae Soo‘s reactions, Lee Yoo Mi also acted thoughtfully and convinced her that her worries were unfounded. Lee Yoo Mi’s kind response made it easy for Jung Ho Yeon to trust her and they still see each other often!
When I talked to her about my acting worries, she was always very considerate, so we talked about a lot of stuff since I trusted her, so I think it all wrapped up nicely. I’m still thankful for her.

Jung Ho Yeon portrayed the character she was supposed to play so well that many viewers couldn’t help but support her. In our opinion, he never needs to worry about his acting skills!
