Jin Se-yeon (born Kim Yoon-jung on February 15, 1994) is a South Korean actress. She played the female protagonist in the television dramas such as My Daughter the Flower (2011), Bridal Mask (2012), Doctor Stranger (2014), and The Flower in Prison (2016).
Jin Se-yeon began her career as an idol trainee for South Korea's girl group Jewelry under Star Empire Entertainment. Before long, she started to appear in various TV commercials, which then steered her direction into acting. Even though her debut role was in the 2010s SBS drama It's Okay, Daddy's Girl, but her first casting was actually for the 2011s film White: Melody of Death. After she acted in the highly-controversial lesbian-themed Drama Special titled Daughters of Bilitis Club and portrayed the teenage version of Han Ji-hye's female lead character in The Duo, her first chance at starring role came when she won the audition for the titular protagonist in the daily drama My Daughter the Flower. She cemented her leading actress status with the acclaimed 1930s-setting period drama, Bridal Mask. Since then, Jin has been starred in various genres, among them a musical melodrama Five Fingers, medical-espionage drama Doctor Stranger, and romantic-comedy film Enemies In-Law. She worked as a host for the first time in the 2014 9th Seoul International Drama Awards, paired with Shin Sung-rok.
