On the 21st, Jo Hye-jung shared several photos and a video on her Instagram with the caption, "Yumi's Cells is really fun!💓"
The posts reveal Jo Hye-jung actively filming for TVING's 'Yumi's Cells Season 3'. Throughout the shoot, she maintained a bright smile, which garnered reactions from netizens calling her "lovely."
'Yumi's Cells 3' follows the story of Yumi, who returns as a star writer, and her cells that continue to grow and love. Jo Hye-jung plays the role of Baek Na-hee, an assistant writer who admires Yumi (played by Kim Go-eun).
This marks Jo Hye-jung's return to acting after four years since 'Our Blues' in 2022. Her recent social media interaction is her first since February 15th, approximately two months ago.
Jo Hye-jung debuted in 2014 and gained popularity with her cute image on the 2015 SBS variety show 'Take Care of My Dad'. She was expected to have an active acting career following her role in the 2016 MBC drama 'Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo'. However, her career faced challenges due to sexual crime allegations against her father, actor Jo Jae-hyun.
Despite the controversy, Jo Hye-jung attempted to continue her career. In 2022, she had a minor role in the tvN drama 'Our Blues', which received mixed reactions, with some calling it "still unpleasant" and others labeling it "an unfair guilt by association," leading to another hiatus.
Jo Hye-jung, born in 1992, is 33 years old this year. In 2022, she signed an exclusive contract with BH Entertainment, led by actor Lee Byung-hun.
