Jin Ki Joo's Netflix Debut & Special Forces Role

Numerous OTT dramas recently released are being adapted from popular webtoons. Examples include All of Us Are Dead, D.P., Hellbound, Bloodhounds, Weak Hero Class 1, A Killer Paradox, The Square, Moving, The Bequeathed, Duty After School, Death's Game, Pyramid Game, and Study Group. Webtoons showcase unique works, unseen in traditional dramas, with their creators' original ideas and imagination, leading drama production companies to compete for webtoon copyrights. Furthermore, there is an increasing trend of original creators directly participating in scriptwriting, such as Kang Full (Moving, The Bequeathed) and Kim Poong (Cheer Up, Mr. Lee).

The drama <The Teacher's Secret>, set to be released on Netflix on the 5th, is also based on the webtoon of the same name by Chae Yong-taek and Han Ga-ram, which was serialized with great popularity on an N portal site. The original webtoon received much love for the protagonist's thrilling action, and it appears crucial for the drama to effectively capture this aspect. The actress playing the role of the female supervisor for the protection of teachers' rights, a former special forces officer, in the drama <The Teacher's Secret> is Jin Ki-joo.

Actress Jin Ki-joo (36) recently shared an update by releasing photos taken outdoors. In the photos, Jin Ki-joo, dressed in a striped shirt and denim pants, sat in an outdoor space in front of urban buildings, exuding a comfortable and calm atmosphere. She showcased a casual style accented with a neat shirt and a watch, and the background showed high-rise apartments, suggesting a moment of rest in the city.

Since her debut in 2015, Jin Ki-joo has consistently worked in dramas and films, gradually expanding her roles from minor and supporting to leading characters, increasing her presence in productions. She has garnered attention for her stable acting skills across various genres and has recently broadened her scope by working across both broadcast television and OTT platforms.
