Through his new lead role, he plans to express the dilemmas that young adults face through his own experiences.
Before debuting as an actor, Jin Ki-joo has a ‘special’ background, having majored in computer engineering in college and joined Samsung Electronics. After leaving Samsung Electronics, she tested her limits by taking on successive challenges, including becoming a broadcast reporter and a supermodel.
The results of Jin Ki-joo’s unique challenges are reflected in her acting in this drama.
She has taken on the role of Oh Soo-ah, a temporary teacher at Byungmun High School, in MBC‘s new Friday-Saturday drama ‘Undercover High School’, which will air for the first time on the 21st.
‘Undercover High School’ is a drama about a National Intelligence Service agent who disguises himself as a high school student to infiltrate a school in search of the whereabouts of Emperor Gojong’s missing gold bars. Jin Ki-joo appears as the homeroom teacher of Jung Hae-seong, the ace agent of the National Intelligence Service who disguises himself as a high school student.
She attended a production conference held at MBC‘s Golden Mouse Hall in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul on the 20th before the first broadcast and said, “I guess I got tired without realizing it. I waited for a project that I could watch comfortably. I found myself laughing and snickering while watching the project, and at some moments it made me nervous. I think the viewers will feel that charm too. I think it will be a great source of healing.”
He continued, “There is a reason why Soo-ah must become a teacher,” and said, “She is a character with a sense of duty as a teacher, but she has a dilemma where she cannot fully exercise her sense of duty due to environmental factors. I wanted to express more of the dilemmas that young people, fresh out of society, have, without being confined to the profession of a teacher.”
