Jung replied by saying that wasn’t a consideration for working with Hwang. Going back to Jung’s feeling of independence while working as a model, she was asked if the way Hwang works also made her feel that way. For me, as a person who just started acting, if the director didn’t give me any kind of direction, and just let me do it, it could be fun, but the result could be like, ‘What is that?!’ With director Hwang being such an experienced director, and JJ Lee, and all the seasoned actors on set, I got so much support.” ![]() And sometimes I make a mistake that seems to make sense, and could be even better than what we originally planned. “So that part is on us to just believe in him, and then we just do it. But acting on the set for Squid Game, it was total.

I cried at some of the scene because it was quite a sad moment for my character, that you have to lie to your brother to keep him encouraged. During some of the scene, she cried, but it wasn’t while they were shooting her side. She had prepared the intonation, the North Korean accent, and the emotions with the brother. According to Jung, she felt a lot of pressure while filming the brother scene. However, after they finished filming that day, director Hwang Dong-hyuk gave Jung a thumbs up, which he also did after they shot the stepping glass scene in episode eight. And I didn’t know why I felt terrible that I did bad acting that day.” It was hot, and I remember the air of that day.
