Career

Oh Yeon Seo never really thought of making a career in the entertainment industry. In middle school, she just decided to follow her friends attending SM Entertainment audition.

She failed to get into the company, but was contacted by another one called SidusHQ.

This young girl accepted the offer and went on to join the agency. She made her debut as a K-pop idol with the group LUV.

They released the album Story with two lead singles Orange Girl and I Still Believe in You.

Unfortunately, the group disbanded just six months later. Yeon Seo decided to pursue a career as an actress instead.

She had her first role in the 2003 drama Sharp. But she was not quite successful at the beginning.

The woman from Jinju began to gain recognition around 2012. At the time, she starred in family drama My Husband Got a Family.

She also joined a variety show titled We Got Married which helped her popularity.

This Cancer woman got her breakthrough in 2014. She scored the leading role in Jang Bo-ri is Here! The drama was a huge hit across the nation. It also launched her into stardom.

Over the years, she continued to make a name for herself through many iconic roles. Some of the dramas she’s in are Shine or Go Crazy (2015), Please Come Back Mister (2016), and Mad For Each Other (2021).

Quotes

“I want to become someone who dreams. I have done well focusing on what I like since I was young. Being ‘off’ of work is a really valuable time, and I think it is a driving force in my life.”

“I made my debut at 16 years of age. I think I have much more of an aptitude for acting.”

“As an actress, the most important thing for me is to do the script justice. I always strive to be proactive and hardworking to improve myself and my skill set to make up for anything that I am lacking as an actress.”

“The name Yeon Seo means ‘one by one like the flow of water.’ I think I became more feminine after changing my name. I used to be quick tempered, but now I feel more composed.”

“I’m never the kind to take on a lot of projects simultaneously. I prefer to focus on one project at a time to give it my best. So right now, People With Flaws is the only thing I am working on that I can share with you. For the others that come after, you’ll just have to wait and see.”

“I’m a homebody. I sleep 18 hours at a time too. Doesn’t everyone?”

“My self-care routine is quite simple, to be honest. That includes working out regularly to make sure I keep my core and immune system strong, a balanced and healthy diet in order to have all the necessary micro- and macronutrients, and if I have the time, I meditate in order to clear my mind.”

“I think the first and most important step of self-care is to take some time to focus on yourself. Find a hobby, stay active, stay happy and calm.”
