UEE
UEE had always wanted to be an actress, but she began her career as a singer. In the MBC historical drama Queen Seondeok, she made her acting debut. She was quickly cast in You're Beautiful, an SBS musical drama. A few years later, she landed lead roles in the Korean dramas Birdie Buddy and Ojakgyo Family. At the Paeksang Arts Awards and the KBS Drama Awards, UEE was named Best New Actress. She made a name for herself, however, when she starred as a princess in the historical drama Jeon Woo-chi.
UEE was able to consistently land lead roles after this point, including the drama Golden Rainbow, for which she received the Excellence Award at the 2013 MBC Drama Awards. She then starred in the romantic comedy Hogu's Love, the SBS drama High Society, the MBC drama Marriage Contract, and Night Light. She was able to devote her full attention to her acting career after graduating from After School. She eventually signed with a new management firm and got right to work. She was inactive for a few years before appearing in the Korean drama Ghost Doctor in 2022.
