Actor Hoyeon will appear in a music video for a song by Canadian singer The Weeknd.

The Weeknd teased the news on social media on Friday with a screen capture and the caption “out of time: tuesday.” Hoyeon is also tagged in the picture.

“Out of Time” is a song on The Weeknd’s album “Dawn FM” (2022).

Hoyeon, whose real name is Jung Ho-yeon, is an actor and model who rose to global fame after starring in Netflix’s "Squid Game" (2021). Last month, the director of “Squid Game” Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed that he might bring back Hoyeon for season two.

Hoyeon has also been cast in Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón’s Apple TV+ series “Disclaimer.”
