Actress Pyo Ye-jin Reveals Her Journey from Youngest Flight Attendant to Acclaimed Actress

Actress Pyo Ye-jin shared her story of becoming the youngest flight attendant at the age of 19 and her subsequent resignation.

On the October 6th episode of MBN and Channel S's variety show 'Jeon Hyun-moo Plan 3', Pyo Ye-jin appeared as a guest, exploring seafood restaurants in Jeju Island.

During the show, Pyo Ye-jin revealed that she became a flight attendant in 2011, overcoming high competition to achieve the position at a young age.

However, she resigned after just a year and a half. Pyo Ye-jin explained her decision, saying, "I enjoyed traveling to new countries and meeting people, but when I looked 10 years ahead, it felt stifling as a lifelong career."

Choosing the uncertain path of acting over a stable job, she added, "I decided to give acting a try for about 10 years."

Jeon Hyun-moo expressed his surprise, asking, "Did you really quit such a hard-to-get job?"

Pyo Ye-jin also shared that her family initially opposed her decision. "My father stopped talking to me, and my mother and I cried together," she recalled. Despite her parents' objections, she persevered, distributing her profile to 10 places a day, which eventually led to her current success.

She noted that her parents' attitudes have since changed, saying, "Nowadays, my parents are very happy," with a smile.

Meanwhile, Pyo Ye-jin recently received praise for her role as the genius hacker and beloved youngest member, Ahn Go-eun, in the popular drama 'Taxi Driver 3', which concluded in January.
