Kim Yoo Jung

The once cute little girl on screen is now a fine young lady who is anticipated to be the next big thing. Known at a young age to be a ‘Sageuk Fairy’ (Sageuk = historical dramas), it’s no wonder all her period dramas hit it big! Her latest drama Love in the Moonlight with Park Bo Gum is her first leading role as an adult and has already surpassed 20% ratings in the 9th episode. She’s definitely a force not to be reckoned with!

Despite the huge age gap between her and both male leads (Seo In Guk: 8 years, Yoon Sang Hyun: 22 years), she showed amazing chemistry and viewers are excited to see how the story will unfold!
