Actress Choo So-jung, also known as the leader of the girl group WJSN, is set to return with a character that embodies both perfection and insecurity. Choo has proven her musical prowess by producing songs for popular idol groups like IVE, I-LIT, and CRAVITY, earning substantial royalties.

Choo stars in the film 'Eighteen Youth,' which tells the story of a cool teacher, Hee-joo (played by Jeon So-min), with a unique educational philosophy, and an 18-year-old high school student, Soon-jung (played by Kim Do-yeon), who finds her teacher bothersome. Together, they embark on a journey to discover their own identities.

Choo takes on the role of Kyung-hee, a top student who values principles and order, adding tension to the film's narrative. In the main trailer, she portrays a meticulous character with her hair tied back, glasses, and an unwavering gaze. However, a scene where she sheds tears after being slapped reveals Kyung-hee's unstable inner world, sparking curiosity about the events and her backstory.

At the press screening of 'Eighteen Youth,' she expressed her dedication to understanding Kyung-hee's inner world, stating, "On the surface, she seems perfect, but I focused on her inner self." This has heightened anticipation for her performance in the film, which is set to explore new emotional depths.

'Eighteen Youth,' featuring Choo So-jung, is set to premiere on the 25th.
