So Yu-jin is challenging herself with a comedic acting role after 19 years.

She will be completely ruined through the KBS 2TV sitcom ‘Villains Country’, scheduled to air in mid-March.

She has shown off her outstanding comedic acting in popular sitcoms such as ‘Cute or Crazy’ on SBS in 2005, ‘High Kick Through the Roof’ on MBC, and ‘Potato Star 2013QR3’ on tvN, and this time she will once again show off her fiery charm without pretense.

‘Villains Country’, which is also her comeback to the small screen after two years, is a sitcom depicting the daily lives of two sisters who are referred to as ‘Ajumma’ in society. In the drama, So Yu-jin plays the role of Oh Yu-jin. Her older sister, who will show off her unstoppable performance as the ‘K sisters’, will be Oh Na-ra. PD Kim Young-jo, who created the dramas ‘Woman of 9.9 Billion’, ‘Jang Yeong-sil’, and ‘Cinderella‘s Sister’, will be directing, and writers Chae Woo and Park Kwang-yeon will be in charge of the script.

So Yoo-jin has been subjected to all kinds of abuse from her older sister since she was young, and even after she gets married, she ends up having to use daily necessities from her older sister’s house due to an accident her husband caused. In the process, So Yoo-jin‘s candidness and lively comedic side will likely be captured as is.

The character in the drama also draws attention.

So Yoo-jin is a culinary researcher who majored in food and nutrition, but in reality, she works as a part-time instructor at a ‘Cooking Class’. This may remind people of her husband, culinary researcher and CEO of The Born Korea, Baek Jong-won. In fact, So Yoo-jin completed her character with the help and advice of Baek Jong-won.

So Yoo-jin said through the production team, “I was so happy to hear that I’m going to be appearing in a sitcom for the first time in a long time,” and “I hope the whole family can gather together and laugh a lot and feel the importance of family once again.”
