Jung Yu-mi (born January 18, 1983) is a South Korean actress. Jung made her feature film debut in Blossom Again (2005), for which she received acting recognition. She has since starred in the critically acclaimed films Family Ties (2006), Chaw (2009), My Dear Desperado (2010), and the box office hits The Crucible (2011) and Train to Busan (2016). She also frequently appears in films by auteur Hong Sang-soo, notably Oki's Movie (2010) and Our Sunhi (2013).
Career
Jung Yu-mi made her acting debut in short films, notably How to Operate a Polaroid Camera.[2] Shortly after, the then-aspiring actress impressed critics in feature film Blossom Again, in which she gave an engrossing performance as an emotionally vulnerable teenager experiencing her first love, and thus received several newcomer awards that year.[3] Her next film Family Ties was also critically acclaimed, for which she won Best Supporting Actress at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.[4][5]
Jung's filmography is a diverse mix of arthouse indies such as The Room Nearby[6] and Cafe Noir,[7] cult monster flick Chaw,[8] odd-couple romantic comedy My Dear Desperado,[9] and melodrama Come, Closer.[10] The Crucible (also known as Silenced), inspired by true events about a group of handicapped children who suffer physical and sexual abuse at the hands of their teachers, drew nearly 5 million viewers and became one of the highest-grossing film that Jung has starred in.[11][12][13] Her ability to portray the lives of ordinary people in ways that are not ordinary have made her one of the most sought-after actresses for auteurial films, as evidenced by her continued collaboration with director Hong Sang-soo.[14] She played the titular character in Hong's Oki's Movie (2010) and Our Sunhi (2013), where her fragile appeal is underpinned by a quiet strength and straightforwardness.[15][16] Oki's Movie premiered at the 67th Venice Film Festival, while Our Sunhi premiered at the 66th Locarno International Film Festival.
Jung has also starred in several commercial films, such as Manhole (2014) where she plays a killer.[17] She was cast in the zombie thriller Train to Busan (2016) directed by Yeon Sang-ho, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.[18][19] The film was a major success, surpassing 10 million audiences.[20] Jung reunited with Yeon in another film, Psychokinesis, a black comedy which premiered in 2018.[21]
Though much less prolific in television, Jung uses her quirky, offbeat image to great effect when playing peculiar but adorable characters in Que Sera, Sera (2007), I Need Romance 2012, and Discovery of Love (2014).[22][23][24][25] Jung made her small-screen comeback in the tvN drama Live (2018), written by Noh Hee-kyung.[26][27]
