Actress Jin Ga-hyun, known as Ok-soon from the 18th season of the dating show 'I am Solo,' is creating buzz by putting down her Yukhoe-slicing knife and doing a new profile photoshoot after about two years since her appearance on the show. With her past acting career, which sparked controversy over her sincerity, there are now speculations that she may be preparing for a full-fledged return to the entertainment industry.
"Such a fun photoshoot after a long time," Jin Ga-hyun, also known as Ok-soon from Season 18, announced her photoshoot on her SNS account on the 22nd.
"Thank you for transforming me so beautifully. I didn't even realize how time flew by while chatting..."
Jin Ga-hyun expressed her satisfaction, reminiscing about the enjoyable photoshoot. It's evident that she enjoyed the shoot comfortably, even after a long hiatus.
The noteworthy point is the tag Jin Ga-hyun added to her post:
"Profile Shoot"
By using the tag 'Profile Shoot,' she implied that this photoshoot isn't just a personal project but a profile picture session for her return as an entertainer. This has sparked curiosity about whether she's taking steps toward a full-fledged comeback.
The star of this photoshoot is Ok-soon from the 18th season of 'I am Solo.' She is actress Jin Ga-hyun, who has been active in the entertainment industry in the past.
Jin Ga-hyun garnered attention with her stunning visuals, befitting the name Ok-soon (Jade Maiden), on 'I am Solo' Season 18, which was released in 2023.
From her very appearance, she gained immense interest for resembling Blackpink's Lisa. Her small face, slender figure, striking features, and lovely smile captivated not only Young-sik, a male contestant, but also viewers.
Her Westernized look and unique aura made her stand out among the other contestants.
During the job introduction segment, Jin Ga-hyun introduced herself as a self-employed restaurant owner. She was seen slicing Yukhoe on 'I am Solo,' making it seem as though she actually ran a restaurant.
However, it was later revealed that she had a past as an entertainer, leading to controversies over sincerity, including accusations of appearing on the show for promotional purposes. Viewers criticized her for hiding her entertainment career and pretending to be a regular person.
Jin Ga-hyun graduated from Jeonju Arts High School and completed a master's program in drama therapy at Dongduk Women's University. The fact that she attended an arts high school suggests that she had already been preparing for a career in the entertainment industry.
In 2018, she appeared in the SBS drama 'My Strange Hero.' Although not a lead role, she had experience appearing on terrestrial television.
Two years later, in 2020, she played the role of a cafe staff member in the movie 'Bizarre Family.' Screenshots from her appearance at the time have been circulating on online communities.
In October 2020, articles reported that she had signed an exclusive contract with an entertainment company.
At the time, Jin Ga-hyun was promoted as a rising star with a Westernized image and sophisticated aura, having worked as a model. The company seemed to highly value her potential and was willing to actively support her.
However, Jin Ga-hyun, who hadn't received much attention in the entertainment industry, became known to the public again after appearing on 'I am Solo' in 2023.
'I am Solo' is a popular program with high viewership ratings, and Jin Ga-hyun's stunning appearance garnered significant attention immediately after the broadcast. Although there was controversy due to her past entertainment career, her name was certainly etched into the public's mind.
This profile photoshoot appears to be an attempt by Jin Ga-hyun to make a full-fledged comeback to the entertainment industry, leveraging the recognition she gained from her appearance on 'I am Solo.'
The profile shoot, about two years after her 'I am Solo' appearance, is interpreted as a signal that she has been preparing and is now ready to resume her activities in earnest.
Can she return from being a Yukhoe-slicing restaurant owner to being an actress again? Many are paying attention to Jin Ga-hyun's choice.
Her stunning appearance, past entertainment career, and the public recognition she gained through 'I am Solo' are assets that could allow her to return to the entertainment industry. However, the past sincerity controversy could also hinder her.
It remains to be seen what kind of work and what kind of image Jin Ga-hyun will present to the public in the future.
