On January 14, actress Jung Ji So, who participated in "The Glory", attracted attention when posting a series of new photos on Instagram. In the photo, she has an elegant style when wearing vests and black leather outfits.
The actress also shared images of food items donated by colleagues in the "Sister" film crew, revealing some of her current daily life.
But what really interests the audience is Jung Ji So's changed appearance. Many people said they were very surprised because the actress born in 1999 looked too different from the time she starred in "Parasite" and "The Glory".
Recently, Jung Ji So has had a strong change in style. She bleached her eyebrows, lost weight significantly, and had long straight hair, all creating a more mature and personality look.
When appearing at major events such as KBS Drama Awards and Melon Music Awards, rumors of Jung Ji So having cosmetic surgery began to spread because her face was too different with sharp jaws.
However, Jung Ji So directly mentioned her strict appearance management in an interview in June last year.
She revealed that every time she confirms to participate in the project, she will start practicing strictly about a month before filming, and limit her diet to just one meal a day, usually chicken breasts. She admits that such a lifestyle for a whole month is not pleasant at all, but it is necessary for work.
Jung Ji So also shared a memory during the promotion of Ma Dong Seok's movie "Holy Night: Demon Hunters". At the first exchange, she thought it was just a comfortable event, not taking photos, so she came without careful preparation.
After that, fans sent letters advising her to dress and put on more neat makeup for official occasions. From then on, the actress began to be more serious in shaping and controlling her diet.
Thanks to these explanations, many fans have spoken out to defend Jung Ji So, saying that her new appearance is not due to cosmetic surgery, but is a "victory of dieting and creating style", and continue to support her journey of maturity.
Jung Ji So is known to global audiences through the role of Da Hye in "Parasite" (2019); then left a strong impression with the role of young Moon Dong Eun (Song Hye Kyo's character) in "The Glory" (2022), showing the naked pain of a victim of school violence.
She continued to build a stable career with works such as "The Cursed: Dead Man's Prey", "Who Is She!" and "Holy Night: Demon Hunters", continuously demonstrating her versatility.
Before falling in love with acting, Jung Ji So was trained as a figure skater until her first year of middle school - a special background that contributed to her own story.
In 2022, Jung Ji So also attracted attention when she showed impressive singing ability in the role of a member of the WSG Wannabe project group on MBC's entertainment program "Hangout with Yoo".
