On October 6, Teen Vogue released an interview they had with Jung Ho Yeon, the lead actress of Netflix's hit K-drama Squid Game. In the interview, Jung Ho Yeon spoke about her rapid rise in fame, her future in the fashion world, and more.
One of the things she touched on is her friendship with BLACKPINK member Jennie and how their friendship came to be.

Jennie's stylist knew both of them, so the two coincidentally came across each other and were introduced to one another. However, Jung Ho Yeon revealed she does not remember in detail how it was when they first met.
The two were able to get closer after hanging out more often. After they met in Paris, Jung Ho Yeon remembered that Jennie had a concert in New York with BLACKPINK, so Jung Ho Yeon decided to attend the show. After the event, the two hung out. This is what kickstarted their blooming friendship.

When the two are both in South Korea, they would go out and have meals together. Jung Ho Yeon thinks the two were able to get so close since they are similar in age (Jung Ho Yeon is only two years older than Jennie) and because they both do something similar career-wise.
Jung Ho Yeon reveals Jennie has been fully supportive of her active career, and she is genuinely grateful for everything Jennie has done for her. The SOLO songstress sent a coffee truck during the filming of Squid Game, and the model-actress revealed that Jennie was extremely happy for Jung Ho Yeon when she first got the role.
