Jung Ho Yeon Becomes First Korean Actress To Participate In Official Event At FIFA World Cup Final
Top model‑turned‑actress Jung Ho Yeon made a surprise appearance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final!
At the World Cup final on 19 July (local time), before kick‑off, Jung Ho Yeon took to the pitch for the Trophy Trunk ceremony alongside world‑renowned Spanish tennis player Carlos Alcaraz, signalling the start of the match by presenting the Louis Vuitton trophy case containing the World Cup winner’s trophy.
Jung Ho Yeon attended the event in her role as a global ambassador for Louis Vuitton. This is the first time a Korean actor has taken part in an official event at a World Cup final. Although it had been announced earlier that global K‑pop group BTS would perform in the half‑time show, Jung Ho Yeon’s attendance had not been foreshadowed, attracting attention.
