Jung So-min Age, Wiki, Boyfriend, Family, Career, Net Worth

Jung So-min once sat a university acting exam without telling her father, and walked into the Korea National University of Arts as its top-ranked entrant. She was born Kim Yoon-ji on March 16, 1989 (37 years old), in Seoul, South Korea.

She is a South Korean actress whose soft, sunny smile hides a famously stubborn work ethic. Korean media have long described her as an “akbari”, someone who simply refuses to do things halfway.

She first caught attention as the clumsy, cheerful Oh Ha-ni in Playful Kiss (2010). She then won a loyal following as the quietly determined writer Yoon Ji-ho in Because This Is My First Life (2017).

Her later hits include the fantasy saga Alchemy of Souls (2022), the romantic comedy Love Next Door (2024), and Would You Marry Me? (2025).

That last role earned her the Top Excellence Award at the 2025 SBS Drama Awards. It came a year after her first Best Actress trophy, won at the Golden Cinematography Awards for the film Love Reset (2023).

Jung So-min Early Life and Education

Jung So-min was born Kim Yoon-ji in Seoul, South Korea. She grew up in a family of four, with her parents and a younger brother.

Long before acting, her world was dance. She started dancing at the age of eight, trained in ballet through middle school, and then moved on to Korean traditional dance in high school.

Her parents were not keen on a life in the arts. They opposed her going to an arts high school, so she attended a regular high school instead, sitting through every class and squeezing in dance training on the side.

Even then, she refused to let her grades slip. Korean media later described her as an “akbari”, a fiercely tenacious girl who kept top marks while dancing because she did not want to be the arts student who neglected her studies.

In 2007, as a high school student, she appeared on KBS’s quiz show Golden Bell Challenge and performed a Korean dance on stage. She later explained that she wanted to show her father, who still opposed her dancing, what she could do.

Her turn towards acting happened almost by accident. She signed up for acting lessons only to improve her expression as a dancer, and found herself hooked straight away.

By her final year of school, she had already been accepted into a university dance department through early admission. Then her acting teacher suggested she try the entrance exam for the Korea National University of Arts.

She told only her mother. After the shock wore off, her mother looked into it and agreed, on one condition: she could try for that one school and nothing else. So-min prepared for about a month and sat the exam.

She passed both rounds, and only then confessed to her father. He was furious that mother and daughter had kept it from him and stopped talking to her. The silence ended only when the tuition bill arrived showing zero, because she had been admitted as the top entrant.

Years later, she chose her own stage name, Jung So-min, as a promise to herself of a fresh start as an actress. Its Chinese characters carry the image of a clear, calm pond.

Education

Jung So-min did all her schooling in Seoul. She attended Seoul Yangjae Elementary School and Eungwang Girls’ Middle School, the years when she was training seriously in ballet.

She then went to Neulpureun High School, a regular school rather than an arts school, because her parents did not want her on an arts track. There she studied Korean traditional dance on the side while keeping her grades near the top of her class.

In 2008, she entered the Korea National University of Arts (KNUA), enrolling in the Acting Department of its School of Drama. She was admitted as the top-ranked entrant, which meant her tuition bill came to zero.

Her intake, the KNUA acting class of 2008, is remembered for producing more than one star. Actor Lee Je-hoon, later known for Signal and Taxi Driver, was in the same year as her.

She was still enrolled at KNUA in April 2012. Her exact graduation year is yet to be updated.

School	Seoul Yangjae Elementary School; Eungwang Girls’ Middle School; Neulpureun High School
Alma Mater	Korea National University of Arts (School of Drama, Acting Department, class of 2008)
Highest Qualification	Bachelor’s level (Yesulsa) programme in Acting (graduation year yet to be updated)

Jung So-min Personal Life

Jung So-min has dated in public only once, and since then she has kept her heart well away from the headlines. What she does share freely is her family life, from living with her parents to doting on a baby nephew.

Relationships and Rumoured Boyfriends

Jung So-min is not married and has no confirmed boyfriend as of 2026. Since her only public relationship ended in 2020, neither she nor her agency has confirmed any new romance.

The closest she came to fresh dating headlines was in 2024, with her Love Next Door co-star Jung Hae-in. Their easy chemistry as childhood friends turned lovers, a joint overseas photoshoot and her visit to his Veteran 2 VIP premiere set off rumours.

She said that the rumours never made things awkward between them, and that she was simply happy viewers saw their chemistry as better than she expected. Neither side has ever confirmed a relationship.

Past Relationships

Jung So-min’s only confirmed relationship was with actor and singer Lee Joon. They met on the set of KBS’s family drama My Father Is Strange (2017), where they played a couple, and began dating in October 2017 after filming ended.

The news broke on January 1, 2018, when the pair were reported to have been spotted on a date during his leave from the army. Both sides confirmed it, and the couple stayed together through his entire military service.

On June 26, 2020, both agencies confirmed the couple had broken up after almost three years. Sources said their busy schedules had pulled them apart, and both camps said they would remain supportive colleagues.

Parents

Jung So-min’s parents are private people, and their names are yet to be updated. She is the eldest child, and she has said that being a “K-jangnyeo”, a Korean eldest daughter, made her feel the weight of wanting to fulfil her parents’ hopes.

She still lives with them. In 2021, she admitted she had once moved out to live on her own, only to move back in with her parents later.

Father

Her father is the parent who pushed back hardest against her dreams. He opposed her dancing, opposed an arts high school, and was furious when she secretly sat the acting exam at the Korea National University of Arts.

He stopped speaking to her after learning she had passed, and only softened when her tuition bill arrived at zero. In 2021, she revealed that the two of them stayed awkward with each other for a long time because he had opposed her acting.

Mother

Her mother has been her quiet ally from the start. She tried to support her daughter’s dancing, and she was the only one So-min told before the KNUA exam, giving her permission to try for that one school.

She is also her toughest critic. As a newcomer in 2010, So-min said her biggest wish was to win approval from her mother, who never held back in pointing out flaws in her acting. Her mother’s favourite actor was the late Lee Sun-kyun, so So-min watched every one of his works.

Siblings

Jung So-min has one younger brother, whose name and occupation are yet to be updated. She became an aunt in March 2019, when her nephew Yu-an was born; his prenatal nickname was “Yeolmu”, meaning young radish.

Jung So-min Career

Jung So-min’s career did not explode overnight. It grew role by role, from a wide-eyed newcomer in 2010 to one of Korea’s most trusted leads in romantic comedy, with quiet detours into melodrama, fantasy, film, radio and the stage along the way.

What ties it together is her habit of choosing people she trusts. Directors, writers and screen partners keep coming back to work with her, and many of her biggest hits grew out of those repeat partnerships.

Discovery and Debut (2010)

Jung So-min was still a student at the Korea National University of Arts when she auditioned for SBS’s melodrama Bad Guy. After her second audition went quiet, she gave up and went back to rehearsing a school play, until a call came for a third round.

She took a leave of absence from university and won the role of Hong Mo-ne. The drama starred Kim Nam-gil, Han Ga-in, Oh Yeon-soo and Kim Jae-wook.

Her very next project made her a lead. MBC cast her as the clumsy, cheerful Oh Ha-ni in Playful Kiss (2010), the Korean version of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss, opposite Kim Hyun-joong.

The drama drew low ratings at home but became a hit across Asia, and her performances that year earned her Best New Actress for TV at the Korean Culture and Entertainment Awards.

Back to School and Steady Growth (2011 to 2014)

In 2011, she stepped away from screen work to focus on her studies, picking up the New Star Award at the Asia Model Awards along the way. She returned in April 2012 with MBC’s daily sitcom Standby, set inside a fictional broadcasting station.

She played a character also named Jung So-min, a girl from a remote part of Gangwon Province juggling part-time jobs in Seoul. The ensemble featured Ryu Jin, Lee Ki-woo, Ha Seok-jin, Claudia Kim and Im Si-wan, and the role won her Best Newcomer in a Comedy or Sitcom at the 2012 MBC Entertainment Awards.

Later that year, she took a more grown-up turn in JTBC’s Can We Get Married? (2012 to 2013). She played Hye-yoon, a young woman preparing to marry her salaryman boyfriend Jung-hoon (Sung Joon) within 100 days, against the wishes of her strong-willed mother Deul-ja (Lee Mi-sook).

In 2013, she moved from Bloom Entertainment to SM Culture & Contents and starred opposite Kim Ji-seok in the KBS Drama Special Came to Me and Became a Star as Ha-jin. In 2014, she made a cameo in the final episode of MBC’s Miss Korea.

That same year, she joined KBS2′s Big Man as Kang Jin-ah, a spoiled, self-centred heiress who falls for the hero played by Kang Ji-hwan. Lee Da-hee and Choi Daniel completed the main cast.

Film Debut and Leading Roles (2015 to 2016)

Jung So-min made her major big-screen debut in director Lee Byeong-heon’s coming-of-age comedy Twenty (2015). She played So-min, the girl three high school friends all had a crush on, now dating the carefree Chi-ho.

The trio was played by Kim Woo-bin, Lee Jun-ho and Kang Ha-neul, with Lee Yu-bi, Min Hyo-rin and Jung Joo-yeon in support. The same-age cast stayed close long after filming, keeping a group chat going for years.

Also in 2015, she led the horror romance film Alice: Boy from Wonderland as Hye-jung, opposite Hong Jong-hyun. She then took on JTBC’s disaster medical drama D-Day as Jung Ddol-mi, an orthopaedic resident from Busan caught in an earthquake that hit Seoul.

Her biggest comic swing came in December 2016 with The Sound of Your Heart, a slapstick comedy based on a hit webtoon. She played Ae-bong, the girlfriend and later wife of Lee Kwang-soo’s character Jo Seok, with Kim Dae-myung and Kim Byung-ok as the rest of the oddball family.

The show became a hit in China, passing 100 million views on Sohu. She and Lee Kwang-soo won the Best Couple Award at the 2016 KBS Entertainment Awards.

Breakthrough Year (2017)

2017 was the year everything clicked. From March, she starred in KBS2′s long weekend family drama My Father Is Strange as Byun Mi-young.

The cast included Kim Yeong-cheol and Kim Hae-sook as her parents, Lee Yu-ri, Ryu Soo-young, Min Jin-woong and Ryu Hwa-young, plus Lee Joon. Her bright, wobbly but brave Mi-young won over family audiences across the country.

That spring, she also starred in the body swap comedy film Daddy You, Daughter Me as high schooler Won Do-yeon, who swaps bodies with her father, played by Yoon Je-moon. In mid 2017, she left SM Culture & Contents and signed with Jellyfish Entertainment.

Then came the role that defined her. In tvN’s Because This Is My First Life (October to November 2017), she played Yoon Ji-ho, a 30-year-old assistant drama writer who enters a practical contract marriage with her socially awkward landlord, Nam Se-hee (Lee Min-ki).

Directed by Park Joon-hwa, the drama also starred Esom, Kim Ga-eun, Park Byung-eun and Kim Min-seok. Her calm, thoughtful narration of the show’s lines became one of its trademarks, and she sang its soundtrack song “Because You’re Here”.

Melodrama, Film and Radio (2018 to 2019)

In 2018, she made a cameo in the thriller film Golden Slumber starring Gang Dong-won. Out of loyalty to director Park Joon-hwa, she and Lee Min-ki also filmed cameos in episode 10 of tvN’s What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim, with So-min playing the heroine’s young mother.

She then changed gears completely for tvN’s dark melodrama The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (2018). She played Yoo Jin-kang, a warm but strong-willed woman drawn to the dangerous Kim Moo-young, played by Seo In-guk.

Park Sung-woong played her protective detective brother, with Seo Eun-soo and Jang Young-nam in support. She and Seo In-guk recorded the soundtrack duet “Star” together.

In 2019, she made playful cameos in tvN’s Abyss, appearing alongside Seo In-guk again, and in the final episode of JTBC’s Be Melodramatic, a nod to Twenty director Lee Byeong-heon.

That July, she starred in the period comedy film Homme Fatale as Hae-won. Her screen partner was Lee Jun-ho, with Gong Myung, Choi Gwi-hwa and Ye Ji-won in the cast.

In August 2019, she left Jellyfish and joined Blossom Entertainment.

Healing Stories and New Genres (2020 to 2021)

In 2020, she starred in KBS2′s medical drama Soul Mechanic as Han Woo-joo. Shin Ha-kyun played the eccentric psychiatrist, with Tae In-ho, Park Ye-jin and Joo Min-kyung in the main cast.

In 2021, she reunited with director Park Joon-hwa for a three-episode cameo in tvN’s My Roommate Is a Gumiho. She appeared in hanbok as the long-lost love of Shin Woo-yeo, played by Jang Ki-yong, and her brief scenes became a talking point online.

That June, she led JTBC’s Monthly Magazine Home as Na Young-won. Kim Ji-seok played her penny-pinching boss, with Jung Gun-joo, Chae Jung-an and Kim Won-hae in support.

Fantasy Epic and Box Office Success (2022 to 2023)

In June 2022, she took on her most physically demanding role yet in tvN’s fantasy epic Alchemy of Souls, written by the Hong sisters and directed by Park Joon-hwa. She played Mu-deok.

Lee Jae-wook played her stubborn student Jang Uk, with Hwang Min-hyun, Shin Seung-ho, Yoo Jun-sang, Oh Na-ra, Yoo In-soo and Arin in the cast. For Part 2, the story moved Naksu into a new body played by Go Youn-jung, and So-min appeared only in a guest role.

That August, she signed with TH Company. In September 2022, she returned to cinemas after three years with the action thriller Project Wolf Hunting, playing detective Lee Da-yeon, alongside Seo In-guk and Jang Dong-yoon.

In early 2023, she made her professional stage debut in the Korean premiere of the play Shakespeare in Love. She played Viola de Lesseps at the Seoul Arts Center’s CJ Towol Theater from January to March, followed by shows at the Sejong Arts Centre in April.

That August, she joined Ieum Hashtag. Then in October, she delivered her biggest box office hit, the romantic comedy Love Reset, directed by Nam Dae-jung.

She played Hong Na-ra, a film producer who, along with her lawyer husband No Jung-yeol (Kang Ha-neul), loses her memory in a car accident just 30 days before their divorce. It was her second film with Kang Ha-neul after Twenty.

Love Reset topped the Korean box office for 11 straight days, crossed 1 million viewers in under 12 days and passed 2 million admissions in November. A Chinese remake was later confirmed, and the role won her Best Actress at the 2024 Golden Cinematography Awards, her first lead actress trophy since her debut.

Romance Queen of the Small Screen (2024 to 2025)

In August 2024, she starred in tvN’s Love Next Door. She played Bae Seok-ryu, a high achiever who breaks down, quits and comes home to restart her life.

Her childhood friend and rival Choi Seung-hyo was played by Jung Hae-in, with Kim Ji-eun, Yoon Ji-on, Park Ji-young, Jo Han-chul and Jang Young-nam in the cast. Streaming on Netflix, it reached the platform’s global top 10 for non-English series and peaked at 8.5% in ratings.

In October 2025, she led SBS’s romantic comedy Would You Marry Me?. She played Yoo Me-ri, a jilted bride-to-be who enters a 90-day fake marriage with a stranger named Kim Woo-joo (Choi Woo-shik), with Seo Bum-june, Bae Na-ra and Shin Seul-ki in support. The drama ended with its highest rating and stayed near the top of Disney+ worldwide TV charts throughout its run.

On December 31, 2025, she won the Top Excellence Award for an Actress in a Romance or Comedy Drama at the SBS Drama Awards.

Her contract with Ieum Hashtag ended in October 2025, and in December 2025 she signed with Hiin Entertainment.

Recent and Upcoming Work (2026 to 2027)

Jung So-min’s next chapter moves firmly away from romantic comedy. In January 2026, Netflix confirmed her as the lead of the crime series The Dealer, her first Netflix-produced project.

She plays Jung Geon-hwa, an ace casino dealer who swears off drinking and gambling, until a housing scam wrecks her wedding plans and pushes her into a dangerous gambling world. Ryoo Seung-bum, Lee Soo-hyuk and Ryu Kyung-soo co-lead the series.

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is producing, and acclaimed cinematographer Choi Young-hwan makes his directing debut. A release date is yet to be updated.

In May 2026, she was also confirmed to lead tvN’s period fantasy drama The First Seventeenth. She plays Heo Seol-hui, a Joseon-era woman who loses her family, then wakes up 20 years in the past to plan her revenge. Kim Yo-han and Joo Jong-hyuk join her in the cast, and the 12-episode series is slated for 2027.

Radio, Variety Shows, Theatre and Music

In December 2018, Jung So-min fulfilled a long-held wish to become a radio DJ, taking over SBS Power FM’s evening show Jung So-min’s Young Street. She hosted it for a year before stepping down in December 2019.

In 2019, she joined SBS’s healing variety show Little Forest, alongside Lee Seo-jin, Lee Seung-gi and Park Na-rae, caring for young children at a countryside retreat. She even earned a child psychology counsellor certificate to prepare for the show.

She has also appeared as a guest on shows such as Running Man, Knowing Bros and Amazing Saturday, and as a special host on My Little Old Boy.

In music, she sang “Because You’re Here” for Because This Is My First Life (2017) and the duet “Star” with Seo In-guk for The Smile Has Left Your Eyes (2018). Her endorsements over the years have included SK-II, SK Telecom, Hazzys accessories and Lotte Chilsung’s 2% Aqua.

Jung So-min Controversies

Jung So-min has never been tied to a serious scandal, legal case or behaviour controversy in more than 15 years of work. The headlines she has faced are mostly rumours she cleared up herself, plus one casting change that upset fans of her drama.

• The “chaebol daughter” rumour (2010 to 2012): After she played a wealthy heiress in Bad Guy, a media report claimed she was the daughter of a senior executive at a major conglomerate, and the “rich girl” label followed her for two years. On SBS’s Strong Heart in 2012, she set the record straight, saying her father runs an ordinary company and works from 6 a.m. until as late as midnight.
• The haircut and “filming halt” report (2012): During the shoot of JTBC’s Can We Get Married?, reports claimed she cried so much while cutting her long hair short that filming had to be stopped. On December 4, 2012, she denied it on Twitter, saying she did not remember crying, that a haircut was nothing to cry over, and that halting a shoot while the staff waited made no sense.
• Dating rumours with Jung Hae-in (2024): Behind the scenes photos and their chemistry in Love Next Door sparked talk that the two leads were dating, and Jung Hae-in’s “no comment” only fuelled it. At her wrap interview on October 8, 2024, she said clearly that the rumours were not true, but that she chose to take them as a compliment to their teamwork.
