TVING Original 'Yumi's Cells Season 3' (screenplay by Song Jae-jeong and Kim Kyung-ran, directed by Lee Sang-yeop) aired its final episode on the 4th.

The 'Yumi's Cells' series, the first in Korea to combine live-action and 3D animation, tells the story of Yumi's daily life, love, and growth.

From Season 1 in 2021, Season 2 in 2022, to Season 3 returning after four years in 2026, the series has remained popular and established itself as a steady seller.

It was possible for Yumi to make viewers cry and smile because Kim Go-eun portrayed 'Yumi' herself. Thanks to Kim Go-eun's delicate expression of everyday life that anyone can relate to, Yumi became 'Yumi' for all viewers. Kim Go-eun left a deep impression on the audience as Yumi, who did not hesitate in love and gradually moved forward. The driving force that made viewers endlessly cheer for Yumi, just like in Yumi's Cell Village, was Kim Go-eun's acting ability to craft her character in a charming way and express it persuasively.

Kim Go-eun stated, "I believe we were able to complete Season 3 solely thanks to the interest and love of the viewers." She added, "As an actress, it was fascinating to experience living as one character for such a long time, and it holds great significance to have led a series in a seasonal format as a single character."

She continued, "'Yumi's Cells' is a work that opened my 30s and gave me the feeling of opening the second chapter of my acting career. From Season 1 to Season 3, I received so much love that I cannot fully express my gratitude in words. Just as I have loved Yumi so much, I am happy that Yumi has been loved by the viewers," expressing her thanks to the audience.

Finally, Kim Go-eun said to Yumi, "Yumi will always overcome any situation, no matter where or what she does, and will surely grow from within. I hope she lives happily with her beloved deer. Now, I must take care of my health. Goodbye, Yumi. Thank you for everything."
