In fascinating history, did you know that doughnuts as we know them today have their origins in the Dutch settlers of America in the 19th century? The classic ring-shaped versions we adore are believed to be created by a New England ship captain who invented a way to fry dough in an unusual mold. Also, Hoyeon, aside from her spectacular acting career, is also a successful model and has graced the runways of top fashion brands globally; this makes her involvement in such a light-hearted film all the more intriguing!
For W's Directors Issue, the Oscar-nominated 'Anora' filmmaker cast Madison and 'Squid Game' star Hoyeon as insatiable, unstoppable doughnut thieves.
