Jung Sol-mi (Korean: 정솔미; born November 24, 1986), known professionally as Jung Eun-chae (Korean: 정은채), is a South Korean actress, model and TV host.[1] Jung began her career as a model, then made her acting breakthrough as the titular character in Nobody's Daughter Haewon (2013), a film by auteur Hong Sang-soo that premiered at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival.[2][3]

Early life

Jung Eun-chae spent 8 years living in London, starting from middle school senior year when she was 15 years old. Due to the influence of her older brother who works at a production company, Chorokbaem Media, Jung became interested in pursuing an acting career after she returned to South Korea.[4][5]

Career

Jung Eun-chae debuted as a commercial model. A string of memorable commercials has earned her a CF Model of the Year title at the 2011 6th Asia Model Festival Awards.[6] She uses a stage name instead of her real name because of the similarity with a veteran actress Park Sol-mi.[4] Jung made her acting debut after passing the audition for the supernatural thriller film Haunters.[7]

Since then, Jung has alternated between doing blockbuster films such as The Fatal Encounter,[8] The King,[9] The Great Battle[10] and art films such as Nobody's Daughter Haewon, Hill of Freedom, The Table. Her breakthrough came with Nobody's Daughter Haewon, in which she received multiple prestigious awards winning and nominations.[11][12]

Jung's debut in television dramas was through the 2011 KBS1 telenovela My Bittersweet Life.[13] Three years later, she acted in a psychological thriller series Dr. Frost.[14]

She made a big comeback to the TV drama in 2018 with two series released on the same year, SBS hit legal crime Return[15] and OCN's The Guest, a drama that combines the elements of exorcism, shamanism, and procedural.[16]

She was later cast as one of the main characters in the 2020 SBS TV series The King: Eternal Monarch.[17] She gained recognition and was declared the best character according to a poll released by Cleo Singapore.[18][19]

In August 2022, Jung renewed her contract with KeyEast.[20] In 2023, Jung left KeyEast and established a one-man agency, Project Hosoo, with her long-time manager.[21]

Jung was cast as prosecutor in the 2024 ENA's legal crime Your Honor, her first television series after four years.[22] In the same year, she was cast as Moon Ok-gyeong in the television series Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born, replacing Kim Hieora.[23][24]
