Bae Yoon-kyung Transforms into an Unpredictable Character in Director Lee Byung-hun's New Short Drama

Actress Bae Yoon-kyung is set to expand her diverse filmography by transforming into an unpredictable character in Director Lee Byung-hun's latest project. Bae first gained popularity in 2017 through Channel A's 'Heart Signal' and debuted as an actress in a web drama the same year.

Bae Yoon-kyung has been loved by the public for her roles in various dramas such as 'Wedding Impossible,' 'Record of Youth,' and 'The King's Affection.' Last year, she made a notable impression in the KBS 2TV one-act project 'Love: Track' with 'A Star's Love.' Playing the role of 'Choi Hana,' a wallpaperer with a one-star rating on a dating app, she portrayed her character's firm values and inner strength with a refreshing and lovely demeanor, creating a vibrant and multi-layered character that showcased her immersive acting skills.

Her acting prowess extends beyond dramas to the theater stage, where she achieved significant success. Last year, Bae challenged herself with her first theater performance in the play 'Visit' by the Lighthouse Project theater company. She played the lead role of 'Woman,' delicately expressing the character's complex inner world and demonstrating a strong presence. Her passionate performance on stage delivered the play's message more convincingly, showcasing her unique potential.

Having successfully completed her first theater play 'Visit' and the one-act project 'A Star's Love' with her delicate expression and stable acting, Bae Yoon-kyung returns with a 180-degree transformation in the Lezhin Snack short drama 'My Baby's Daddy is My Friend.' She is set to prove her expanded acting spectrum with a completely different character, raising anticipation.

Scheduled for release on February 4, 'My Baby's Daddy is My Friend' is a chaotic romantic comedy short drama about friends who haven't dated or married but are raising a child together. Directed and written by Lee Byung-hun, known for the film 'Extreme Job' and the drama 'Be Melodramatic,' the project has already garnered attention. Bae Yoon-kyung will play the role of 'Kyung-ah,' an 'external intruder' and 'destroyer' in the story, transforming into an unpredictable and shocking character that exudes a chilling tension even in moments of emotional restraint. She is expected to express the character's emotions in a colorful and unique way, leaving a strong impression.

Bae Yoon-kyung continues to expand her acting spectrum regardless of the work or genre, and expectations are high for her deeper acting skills and character portrayal in 'My Baby's Daddy is My Friend.'

'My Baby's Daddy is My Friend,' featuring Bae Yoon-kyung, will be available in its entirety on Lezhin Snack starting February 4.
