Stuck on ‘Squid Game’ Crossword? Unveiling the Answer for ___ Jung

As a detective, my first step in solving this mystery was to gather information on the clue itself. I started by analyzing the context of the clue, which was referencing a popular Netflix series called “Squid Game.” Through quick research, I discovered that “Squid Game” is a South Korean TV series and therefore my investigation led me to belief that “___ Jung” must be a South Korean actress. With this new information, I began to search for names of Korean actresses named Jung. However, my search came up empty, which led me to believe that the last name was potentially incorrect. I then remembered that in Korean culture, the last name comes first, so I began to search for actresses with the first name Jung. As I delved deeper into my research on Korean actresses named Jung, I came across an actress named Hwang Hyeon. Although her last name was different, I found that the English translation of her first name, Hyeon, was Jung. This led me to believe that the solution to the crossword clue was not a last name, but rather a first name, specifically Hyeon Jung. After a final search, I found that there is indeed an actress named Hyeon Jung, but she has no association with “Squid Game.” That led me to dig even deeper and, finally, I found that the correct answer to the crossword clue was Hoyeon Jung. In conclusion, my detective work led me to believe that “___ Jung” was a Korean first name and not a last name. Through a combination of cultural knowledge, research, and persistence, I was able to uncover the answer to the crossword clue, which was Hoyeon Jung, the “Squid Game” actress.
