Early Life and Background
Q: What is your name and where are you from?
My name is Jyren Keo. I currently live in Paris, and I was born in Saint-Cloud near Paris, France.
The Beginning of His Journey
Q: When did you start your journey?
I began my journey at 17 years old. That’s when I decided to seriously pursue my passion and turn my dreams into reality.
Inspirations Behind His Career
Q: Who inspired you to begin this path?
My family has always been my biggest support system. I was also inspired by martial arts and action legends like Jackie Chan, Tony Jaa, Donnie Yen, and Jean-Claude Van Damme. Watching them made me dream about performance, martial arts, and cinema.
Major Achievements in Martial Arts and Film
Q: What achievements are you most proud of?
One of my first dreams was to become a professional performer, dancer, and martial artist. With my team, we won the World Championship in Paris twice in martial arts tricks. That was a huge milestone.
Then came the American dream. We worked in filmmaking and won five film awards. Entering the Hollywood film industry and attending the Cannes Film Festival for the first time was unforgettable. Our first movie became our first success — an incredible achievement.
Another magical moment was becoming an international model and walking my first major runway at Paris Fashion Week at the prestigious Plaza Athénée in October 2025. That experience was truly unforgettable.
Role Models and Personal Motivation
Q: Who is your role model in your field?
My brothers Seony, Tomy, and Luc inspire me a lot. They’ve helped me push my limits and become the best version of myself. I’ve learned strong values from them, and I’m deeply grateful.
Future Goals and Vision
Q: What are your future goals?
That’s a difficult question (laughs). I feel proud of everything I’ve achieved and don’t feel like I have anything left to prove.
But I would love to become one of the most influential and successful businessmen in the world. I want to make a difference for future generations and show them that everything is possible if they believe in their dreams.
Upcoming Projects and Summer Plans
Q: What are you preparing for the upcoming season?
Some things are still secret (laughs), but I’m working on a new short film for festivals and preparing for international fashion runways in London, Germany, the US, and more.
I would also love to return to the Cannes Film Festival this year to celebrate my 10-year anniversary since my first visit in 2016. That would be very special.
New Projects on the Horizon
Q: What new projects can we expect from you?
Many! I have a lot of ideas and collaborations in progress. As a multi-talented artist, I love exploring different creative worlds. I can’t reveal everything yet, but there are big surprises coming soon.
Recent Success and Career Highlights
Q: Can you share the success of your latest work?
Recently, I acted in a short film for the Nikon Festival with a brilliant French director. I’ve also done major fashion shows, professional photoshoots with top photographers, and worked with new magazines.
I’m now a brand ambassador for a magazine and for a new brand launching in 2026. It’s been an incredible start to the year.
Biggest Challenges Faced
Q: What was the biggest challenge in your journey?
One of my biggest challenges was proving myself internationally. Together with my brother Seony, we wanted to bring something new from Paris to Hollywood — and we succeeded. We won awards and achieved our dream of working in the movie industry.
Advice for Beginners
Q: What advice would you give to beginners?
Dare to try. Life is short, and my career feels like it happened yesterday. If you have a dream, go for it. If you don’t try, you’ll never know.
Message to Supporters
Q: What message would you like to share with your supporters?
I want to thank everyone who has supported me from the beginning. This journey hasn’t been easy, but many of my dreams have come true.
Thank you to my family, friends, model agencies, photographers, and all my fans. I love you all. I’m living a new dream now, starting a new chapter — and I have no limits.
