Jung has said her Instagram presence in particular inspired her to try acting in the first place. As she told W Korea, “In a way, Instagram is a space where I edit and show what I want to show."

"But at some point, I thought, ‘Am I really this person?’ People like my shiny look, but to me, I’m a much different person than her...I relieved my loneliness with movies and books, and I had a strong desire to express what I felt through acting. So during the holiday season, I came to Korea and took acting classes," she added.

After finishing acting courses, she received her first-ever script for what turned out to be her first role: Squid Game. Meantime, the actress is at the peak of success.
