'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' Jin-gu's wife, Lee Seo-an (37, formerly Lee Su-mi), has been revealed as a former member of the idol group Sistar and Namnyeo Gyeonghak, known as Misosumi, sparking widespread discussion.

Lee Seo-an is currently delivering a powerful performance as Naeon-se, the wife of Kang Jae-sung (played by Jin-gu) and the daughter-in-law of the Choi family, in the JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)'. In particular, she is providing gripping entertainment as the strategist of Taeha Group, planted by her father-in-law Na Byeong-mo (played by Jung Jae-sung) within the Choi family.

As she is expected to play a hidden villain, Lee Seo-an's surprising past is also being re-examined. It turns out she was once an idol.

Lee Seo-an joined the girl group Sistar in 2009 as a new member after Nam Kyu-ri left, making her debut in the music industry.

However, the following year, Lee Seo-an left Sistar and made a comeback as Misosumi, the leader of the mixed-gender group Namnyeo Gyeonghak. She went on to also serve as the leader of the girl group Five Dolls in 2011 after her time with Sistar and Namnyeo Gyeonghak.

She then left Five Dolls in 2012, putting an end to her idol career and embarking on a path as an actress. After changing her name from Lee Su-mi to Lee Seo-an, she officially began her acting career in 2017. She has since appeared in numerous dramas, including 'Criminal Mind', 'The Good Witch's Tale', 'Justice', 'Dodo Sol Sol La La Sol', 'City of the Spies', and 'The Ultimate Solution'. In 2024, she drew attention for her role as the Yang (President) at a cafe where Juran (played by Woo Da-bi) works in the drama 'Jeongnyeon'.

Last year, she showcased her unique presence as Im Sun-ye, the deceased mother of top actress Baek Ah-jin (played by Kim Yoo-jung), in the OTT TVING original 'Dear X'.
