Shocking transformation: Joo Hyun-young is set to play a full-time housewife of 10 years.
On the 27th, her agency AIMC confirmed that Joo Hyun-young will appear in SBS’s new drama Nine to Six.
Nine to Six is an office romance that follows workaholic legal team deputy manager Kang I-ji (Park Min-young) as her life changes after meeting the warm younger man Han Sun-woo (Yook Sungjae) and the ideal division head Park Hyun-tae (Go Soo).
Joo Hyun-young will play Shin Ji-won—an “all-too-human double-sided” character—showing a new side of herself. Ji-won is a 10-year full-time housewife whose only hobby is posting her cooking on social media, and she appears as Kang I-ji’s close younger friend.
Netizens reacted, saying, "An actress you can always trust," and "She’ll suit the role perfectly."
Meanwhile, Joo Hyun-young has been active across both film and television with titles like Extraordinary Attorney Woo, The Devil Moved In, and Ms. Incognito. She is also working as a radio DJ, and expectations are high for the fresh acting she’ll deliver in this project.
