Actress Jeon So-young made a dynamic debut as a terrifying newcomer in 'Girigo'.

The Netflix series 'Girigo', released on the 24th, is Netflix's first Korean YA (young adult) horror series. As 'Girigo' climbed to the number one spot on Netflix's domestic Top 10 series list just two days after its release, drawing intense attention, focus has turned to Jeon So-young, who played the role of 'Yoo Se-ah'.

Portraying Se-ah, a confident high school student dedicated to track and field, Jeon So-young worked with national team athlete Kim Kuk-young for two months, conducting daily track and field training to embody the posture of a promising national team member. She also underwent a transformation with a short haircut, gained weight, and even tanned. Through these efforts, she brought to life a character that shone with the appearance of a brilliant teenage girl.

However, the atmosphere took a sharp turn when she met a gruesome death before her eyes due to the curse of the wish-granting app 'Girigo'. Jeon So-young drew attention by vividly portraying the shock of losing a friend in an instant and the guilt of failing to protect her, with her face crumbling under the weight of it all.

Thereafter, Se-ah, with the help of the shaman Hyeol-sal (played by Jeon So-ni), plunged into the cursed space and faced her own trauma. She displayed everything from the hesitation to look back, unable to easily step away, to the desperate struggle to shake off her fears and move forward.

Within the long arc of the eight-episode series, Jeon So-young steadily guided the character's changes and growth, firmly anchoring the center of 'Girigo'.

As such, Jeon So-young has firmly established her name from her very first leading role, making a strong impression.

Meanwhile, 'Girigo' was released in two parts on the 24th and is currently streaming on Netflix.
