The Netflix series "The Glory" is extremely popular around the world. Prominent global media outlets have given the series positive reviews and buzz, which is considered to be achievable because not only the main characters of the series but even the child actors, demonstrated high synchronization and excellent performance.

Part 1 of "The Glory," which was broadcast on Netflix, depicts Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo), a lady who was broken to her soul by violence in her youth, methodically preparing her entire life and those who fell into the whirlwind.

In the play, actor Jung Ji-so performed the child part of victim Moon Dong-eun. It is attracting a lot of attention since it expresses the victim's dread and agony to viewers through its deep emotional content. Officials and senior performers on the scene, in addition to fans, were alleged to have commended Jung Ji-So.

In actuality, Jung Ji-so was featured in "Parasite" as a high school student who was tutored by Choi Woo-sik (played by Ki-woo). Jung Ji-so, who was studying broadcasting and entertainment at Dongduk Women's University at the time of filming, became a significant subject after the news of her dropping out due to difficulties balancing her studies was disclosed later.

1. Who is Jung Ji-so? 

She is a South Korean actress and WSG Wannabe member.

She was a figure skater before her debut until 2012. She went to the skating rink when she was young for a special holiday lecture to enhance her physical strength because she was weak, and her teacher claimed she was talented, so she continued skating. Figure skating appears to have skated well enough to win a national tournament.

She passed the audition and made her debut in the drama "May Queen" as a kid actress Jang In-hwa, who is at odds with actor Kim Yoo-jung. She also filmed a sequence in which she used her specialization to do figure skating at the time.

She made her public debut in 2019 when she played Dahye in the film Parasite. Prior to filming this project, she was known as "Hyun Seung-min." The current name is a renamed name, and it is the genuine name, not only the name of the activity.

She has a variety of shows and amazing vocal abilities. She already demonstrated her singing skills first by playing an idol character in the drama "Imitation", and after that, "Hangout with Yoo". As a member of WSG Wannabe in >, she promoted her singing abilities and also worked as a singer by topping the music charts. She is still involved in the drama Soundtrack and works in both acting and singing.   

2. What is Jung Ji-so's personality? 

"Unlike other actors, I was really quiet and silent," remarked the reporter who interviewed Jung Ji-so.

She isn't thought to be pleasant enough to approach her seniors in a cute way. She is supposed to be nice and cautious because she used to work out when she was younger. So she expressed her gratitude that veteran performers greet her and treat her well while she works.

"I normally have numerous personas," he told a media source. My friends refer to me as "many personalities" and "Twenty Shades of Jung Ji-so," among other things. That's why I want to play a bright character in my next film. I want to do romance, dance, and sing, so I want to do a drama like "Dream High." I can ride a horse and I want to try action," she said. 

She stated in an interview that she would never give up her acting career and planned to do so until she died. If you read her interview, you will notice that she is a tough and serious actor.

Furthermore, she has enjoyed mint chocolate since she was a child, thus she is serious about mint chocolate by altering her Cyworld title or profile introduction to "Mint Chocolate" material. Her Instagram handle is currently @mint ziso.

3. Jung Ji-so's Activities(Actress Life)

He made his debut in the MBC drama "May Queen" in 2012 after passing the audition. He appeared on Tooniverse's program "Just Like That Show" with Kim Dong-hyun for a while in 2013, and has subsequently appeared in various drama works, but has been absent for a while since the MBC drama "W" in 2016.

Three years later, she made her debut as an adult actor, not a child actor, as Park Da-hye in the 2019 film Parasite. She changed her name at this time, and as soon as she began her career as Jung Ji-so, Parasite won the Cannes Film Festival's most prestigious Palme d'Or, making it a 10 million-viewer smash and beginning to be expected to become one of the main actors in the poor early 20s.

After the worldwide success of Parasite, who won the Academy Awards after Khan, she starred as the lead character in the tvN drama "The Cursed" in 2020. It is my first drama and my first starring part as an adult. She also dared to challenge the shortcut in order to shed her student image. Furthermore, despite being her first drama lead part, she played Baek So-jin, a cold-hearted methodist, and a naive high school girl, demonstrating her acting abilities.

In 2021, she starred in the KBS2 drama "Imitation," published an album, and appeared on music shows with the theater group Tea Party. "If Just One Of Us" was her debut solo Soundtrack. She appeared in the tvN drama "Doom at Your Service," which aired at the same time, but almost appeared in Maehwa and played a supporting role.

In 2022, she appeared as 'Emma Stone' on MBC's entertainment show Hangout with Yoo and worked as a GayaG member of the female project music group WSG Wannabe. This broadcast provided an opportunity to showcase Jung Ji-lovely so's voice and singing abilities, as well as to further publicize Jung Ji-so's celebrity status.

In 2022, she won the KBS Drama Awards for Best New Female Actress for "Curtain Call," demonstrating her seamless transition from child to adult actor.

She also played the young character Song Hye-kyo in the Netflix drama series The Glory. She played the victim Moon Dong-eun in the drama and delivered a highly emotional performance. The scenario was so agonizing that people were worried about Jung Ji-so, who portrayed the part. As such, she performed realistically, and her synchronization with Song Hye-kyo is excellent, gaining attention as an expected newcomer.

Song Hye-kyo, who performed her child part in "The Glory," reportedly cried when she saw Jung Ji-so's performance. “I cried while seeing Dong-eun's childhood,” Song Hye-kyo said of actor Jung Ji-so, who played Dong-eun's childhood.

"The Glory" director Ahn Gil-ho was pleased with the actors' performances, noting, "We have examined each character more completely than we imagined." The director attempted to recruit performers who were compatible with the existing characters, and the actors met Ahn's expectations.

 

Q. You have much acting experience.

-At the outset of my career, I was busy following other seniors, but now my friends and elder brothers who are just starting out in the industry ask me in reverse. That's when I realized my years of experience.  

 

Q. Do you have any concerns after ten years of advancement?

- "Should I continue my acting profession in the middle?" I wondered. After finishing high school, I became an indeterminate age, neither a child nor an adult, yet I couldn't do many jobs at the time. So I reasoned, "This can't be my way."

Since then, I've been working part-time in VR and debating which path is best for me. Yet, my desire of becoming an actress remained unaffected. As a result of this, I was able to audition for "Parasite," and as a result of this, I began acting again. My concerns were alleviated, and I was able to work more actively.
