Jun Song is the winner of Big Brother 4 (US).
Known for perfecting the floater strategy or working with people who have powers in the game every week, Jun entered the house to find her ex Jee Choe playing with her, who she formed a secret side alliance with as a number for her. Early in the game, Jun joined the Elite Eight alliance to counter the X-Factor twist and to eliminate the exes. She formed a highly effective strategy of working in the kitchen as it proved to be a great vantage point in getting information on the dynamics within the house. In the first few weeks, she laid low and formed a strong bond with Dana Varela, who was also part of the Elite Eight. After Dana became Head of Household in week 3, Dana betrayed the alliance to join up with the Three Stooges, with Jun joining her. Jun was nominated for the first time the following week by Alison Irwin as a pawn to evict Dana. After neither of them won POV, Dana was evicted. From this point forward, Jun started playing the middle between both sides. This earned her a reputation as a “floater”. In week 6, Jun and Alison formed a Final 2 alliance after realizing that they were each other's easiest opponents due to having angered many of the other houseguests. They then formed the Girl Power alliance with Erika Landin to usurp control and eliminate the remaining men. Jun won her first Head of Household competition in Week 8. Realizing Jee was too big of a threat to take any further, she went back on her alliance and betrayed him. Thanks to their deal, Jun and Alison were able to make it to the Final 2, successfully eliminating both warring sides of the house. Ultimately, Jun was crowned the winner in a 6-1 vote, as the jury saw her as the lesser of two evils.
