Career edit

Jin Ki-joo was previously an employee of Samsung SDS and then worked as reporter for SBS regional affiliate G1 before starting her acting career.[2] After Jin won a prize in the 23rd Supermodel Contest, the organizer introduced her to some management companies for actors.[3] Her acting debut was in tvN's 2015 romantic comedy television series Second 20s.[1]

2018 was Jin's breakthrough year. She got nominated and won several major film awards with her role as a snarky and playful country girl who yearns for the big city in Little Forest.[4] Her standout role as the protagonist's rival in JTBC's melodrama mystery Misty[5] paved the way for Jin to be cast in a leading role for the first time in MBC's melodrama thriller Come and Hug Me.[6]

In 2019, Jin starred in the SBS romantic comedy series The Secret Life of My Secretary.[7][8]

Jin acted as the protagonist in KBS2's 2020 family weekend drama Homemade Love Story.[9]

In 2022 Jin accepted two series offers, MBC's supernatural fantasy From Now On, Showtime![10] and KBS2's time travel mystery My Perfect Stranger.[11]
