Hong began taking drama classes at age 13 and later graduated from Toi Whakaari, New Zealand's national drama school, launching her career in acting. She transitioned from community theater to a leading role in the Netflix series "3 Body Problem."
Hong stars as Jin Cheng in "3 Body Problem," a global series produced by the creators of "Game of Thrones" and adapted from Liu Cixin's science-fiction trilogy. She portrays a physicist who becomes involved in uncovering a threat to humanity. The character was adapted to reflect Hong's New Zealand background and accent. To prepare for the role, Hong read the original novels and studied scientific podcasts and TED Talks on topics such as the multiverse and string theory. She spent a year filming the show's first eight episodes. Upon release, the series reached the top 10 in 93 countries.
Hong was the lead actor on "3 Body Problem." Her performance earned her a nomination at the National Film Awards for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Series. The series has received multiple Emmy nominations. Hong reprises her role as Jin Cheng alongside co-stars Jovan Adepo and Eiza González in subsequent seasons.
Prior to her international recognition, Hong worked extensively in New Zealand's screen and stage industries. Her television credits include roles in "The Brokenwood Mysteries," "Inked," "Creamerie," and "My Life Is Murder." Her film work includes a lead role in the horror movie "Grafted." Hong's short-film performances include "Got Milk," which she also directed, "Red Envelopes," and "Baggage." On stage, she has appeared in leading roles in "Romeo and Juliet" at Auckland's Pop-Up Globe, "An Organ of Soft Tissue," and "48 Nights on Hope Street."
Hong has participated as a panelist at the Auckland Writers Festival, discussing the intersection of science and science fiction and its role in communicating complex ideas to broad audiences. Her journey from a shy teenager to a lead actress in a major science fiction series highlights her experience in both performance and the exploration of scientific themes in entertainment.
