Jeon Jong Seo’s Impressive Resume

Jeong Jong Seo has been slowly building her reputation since her debut. Taking on some of the most challenging and bizarre roles in films is nothing new to her. One of her most notable projects is the highly acclaimed movie, Burning. Her role as a free-spirited young lady who disappeared without a trace gave her the chance to walk along the red carpet of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.

Last year, she portrayed the character of a lunatic woman in the time-traveling mystery thriller film, The Call. Her outstanding performance has earned her a Baeksang Awards Best Actress nomination for this year.

With several projects underway, the actress couldn’t be more thankful for her flourishing career. Her upcoming movie, with a tentative title of Woo Ri, Ja Young (우리, 자영), is slated for release in the latter part of 2021. To cap off her recent achievements, she will star as the female protagonist in the Korean remake of Money Heist.

Jeon Jong Seo’s maiden Hollywood presence will be on the upcoming psychological thriller titled Monalisa and the Blood Moon.
