Korean Actress Jo Hye-Jung Turns Heads at Cannes with ‘Fasting Love’
South Korean actress Jo Hye-Jung captivated audiences and fans alike with her glamorous appearance at the Cannes International Series Festival. The actress shared several photos from the event on her social media on the 29th, captioned with the hopeful message, “Dreams Do Come True.”
Wearing a striking pink dress, Jo showcased a confident and mature beauty, radiating elegance as she walked the red carpet in celebration of her latest project, Fasting Love, a new JTBC drama series. The buzz on social media quickly followed, with fans leaving comments like, “South Korea is lucky to have Jo Hye-Jung,” and “You looked stunning!”
Fasting Love tells the story of Ji-Soo, a virtual singer portrayed by Jo, who hides her true self behind an avatar due to painful past experiences. Her dream is to sing with her own voice, prompting her to join a mysterious fasting center in hopes of winning a life-changing audition.
Jo Hye-Jung made her acting debut in 2014 and gained attention through hit dramas such as Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo, Go Back Couple, and Our Blues. Despite rising fame, she went on hiatus following controversies involving her father, actor Jo Jae-Hyun, during the height of the MeToo movement.
Now, her return to the spotlight not only marks a powerful comeback but also solidifies her place among South Korea’s emerging female leads in television drama.
