Oh Yeon-seo (born Oh Haet-nim, on June 22, 1987), is a South Korean actress and former member of South Korean girl group, LUV. She is best known for her roles in television dramas My Husband Got a Family (2012), Jang Bo-ri is Here! (2014), Shine or Go Crazy (2015) and Please Come Back, Mister (2016).
Oh Yeon-seo was born in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province and grew up in Changnyeong County with her parents and younger brother who studies cooking.
In the second year of middle school, Oh followed a group of friends to an audition for S.M. Entertainment, held in Daegu, but was rejected. However, another company contacted her saying that she had qualified and she moved to Seoul, debuting in just four months at the age of 15.
Oh was accepted into Anyang Arts High School after her band's disbandment and went on to become an actress. It was then where she changed her name from Haet-nim to Yeon-seo after consulting a shaman with her mother.
Oh then entered Dongguk University, joining the theater and film department.
Oh Yeon-seo made her entertainment debut in 2002 when she was only 15 years old under her real name Oh Haet-nim, with the band LUV, alongside Jo Eun-byul and Jeon Hye-bin. They released their first album "Story" that year, which included the singles "Orange Girl" and "I Still Believe in You." However, the band was short-lived and disbanded barely after six months due to their low popularity. Oh then shifted to acting but remained unknown for a long period of time.
In 2012, she planned to quit the entertainment industry as it had already been ten years since her debut, but was cast in the family drama My Husband Got a Family. Oh felt that the role of Bang Mal-suk was tailor-made for her, and she did everything she could to be cast. Her popularity rose following the airing of the drama, and she was cast in the popular variety program We Got Married alongside MBLAQ's Lee Joon.
