Jin Ki-joo (born January 26, 1989) is a South Korean actress. She made a breakthrough in 2018, landing her first lead role in a television series with Come and Hug Me after she acted in that year's acclaimed series Misty and film Little Forest.

Career

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.

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 played the protagonist role 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]

She acted as a journalist and daughter of assassinated presidential candidate in the 2024 period series Uncle Samsik starring acclaimed film actor Song Kang-ho.[12]

Jin was cast in MBC's action comedy Undercover High School planned to be broadcast in 2025.[13]
