Hoyeon Jung is a South Korean model and actress who's been working in the industry since the age of 16. She's one of the female leads in the Netflix sensation Squid Games, which you know if you tuned in like most of us did. And since then, she's skyrocketed to global fame. Her performance as Saebyeok has made the 27-year-old a breakthrough star, and she gained 18 million new Instagram followers in only a week. But before she was featured as Saebyeok, Hoyeon was famous for modeling, which she began as a teen. Jung is 5 foot 9 and a half inches tall, which likely helped her to become one of the most in-demand models. She told Vogue back in 2015, I thought to myself, what should I do for a living so that I can keep feeding myself? And I thought, oh, I'm tall, so why not give modeling a try? After being a freelance model, she was a contestant on Korea's Next Top Model in 2013 and made it to the finals, also signing with the society management. Now the actress and model has Louis Vuitton and other high-profile brands reach out to work with her, and other interested brands include Fendi and Adidas. Not to mention, she's also worked for Chanel and Bottega Veneta in the past. While it's undeniable that Hoyeon is stunning, she's still been a subject of plastic surgery speculations on social media. So, has the South Korean star gone under the knife? It's no secret that Korean celebrities are notorious for getting work done, and it seems Hoyeon may be no different. South Korea is known to be the plastic surgery capital of the world, and Gangnam is said to have 500 beauty centers alone. If you look at clips from the Squid Game actresses before and after, it seems that she most likely did go under the knife. One of the surgeries is the most common procedure among Korean celebrities, and all of East Asia in fact, double eyelid surgery. This is where extra fat on the eye is eliminated and creases in the upper eyelids are formed to attain the ideal double eyelid. The popularity of the double eyelid surgery isn't limited to Korea either. They make up about 15% of all plastic surgery procedures done worldwide. Another related procedure Hoyeon is thought to have had done is getting her eyes widened, which is performed to make one's eyes appear much larger. Often you'll find many individuals will have this operation done alongside double eyelid surgery. Here the edges of the eyes are chopped so they are longer laterally, making the eyes appear larger and wider. Some online sources had said that Hoyeon may have later added extra fats to her eyes as her eyelids appeared bigger than before. Making our way down the face, it seems she also got a nose job. Looking at Hoyeon's nose before and after, she would have undergone a rhinoplasty procedure to make the nasal bridge more prominent. The nose is one of the most important facial features and beauty standards in Korean culture, and many aspire to have a high nose bridge, which can be achieved from this surgery. It's also said that Hoyeon could have reduced her jawline through jaw reduction surgery, which includes shaving off part of the mandible, therefore forming a thinner jawline. And last but not least, the Squid Game star was also thought to have had a forehead augmentation as well. This is a straightforward operation where a smoother frontal implant is placed into the individual's forehead, as many Koreans believe a rounder brow contributes to a younger look. These results could have also been done from Botox on the other hand. Either way, if Hoyeon got these procedures done, it's normal for Korean celebrities as they prefer youthful looks and flawless faces. However, some surgeons based in London, UK had different opinions about Hoyeon's before and after looks. They looked at various photos of the model, but each of the three surgeons differed on whether or not they thought she had plastic surgery, or what kind of treatment she had. Two of the doctors hypothesized she had buccal fat removal surgery on her face, which aims to get rid of excess fat pads in the cheeks, reducing their size. One of the surgeons also believes that Joon got chin filler to change the projection of it, while one of the doctors thinks she had no work done at all. As for whether or not Hoyeon did or didn't get plastic surgery, it won't stop you from binge watching the show and gazing at her beauty. She's definitely a sight for sore eyes, plastic surgery or not. Of course, Hoyeon also has her own beauty secrets which we'll talk about now. Besides her great performance in Squid Games, the breakout star also won viewers over with her iconic look with Instagram-friendly trends like fake freckles. For natural looking freckles, try creating small dots on your cheek and nose area with a waterproof liner pencil, starting with faint dots before making some more obvious ones. When asked about beauty lessons learned from her mom, Hoyeon said she had taught her about skincare. The young star is serious about removing her makeup and I couldn't agree more with how important that is. She also soothes her skin afterwards with an aloe vera mask. Some more of her beauty tips include staying hydrated and sun protection. Hoyeon said, drinking 2 liters of water a day, washing your face only with water when it's morning, don't touch your face often with your hands, and make sure to wear sunscreen. I try not to give my skin a strong stimulation and I try to protect the fluids and oils that come from my body as much as possible. Finally, the South Korean star also raves about the power of facial massage. She explains in a video for Vogue. If your face is swollen, press this point, the crook of your thumb. This is good for circulation. Facial massage is definitely great for de-puffing the face as well as giving you a glow from natural blood circulation.
