Seo Hyun-jin (born February 27, 1985) is a South Korean actress and singer. She is best known for playing the lead roles in television dramas Let's Eat 2 (2015), Another Oh Hae-young (2016) and Romantic Doctor, Teacher Kim (2016).
Seo debuted as the lead vocalist of K-pop girl group M.I.L.K in 2001, under the S.M. Entertainment's subsidiary, BM Entertainment. However, the group soon fell by the wayside due to fierce competition among manufactured bands, which led to one of the members quitting before they completely disbanded in 2003.
After M.I.L.K. was dissolved, Seo attended Dongduk Women's University, where she majored in applied musicology to keep her dream of a career in singing alive. As a solo artist, she contributed songs to a few soundtracks and SM Town compilations. When she had the chance to perform in her first musical, The Sound of Music in 2006, she saw it as a turning point to begin her acting career.
Seo shot a movie and a short drama Dating On Earth with boy group TVXQ.
Supporting roles followed in the TV police procedural H.I.T (2007) and the queer film Ashamed (also known as Life Is Peachy, 2011), though Seo got noticed for her subtler performances in period dramas such as Hwang Jini (2006), and her career-making performance in The Duo (2011), as a neighborhood tomboy who later becomes a gisaeng. She played her first villain in Feast of the Gods (2012), as an overly ambitious chef caught in a rivalry. Seo was then cast in leading roles for two historical dramas The King's Daughter, Soo Baek-hyang (2013) and The Three Musketeers (2014). But she said the character that most resembled her real-life personality was the foodie freelance writer in Let's Eat 2 (2015), adding that she "didn't realize how much fun shooting a lively and comical drama could be." The drama was Seo's first attempt at romantic-comedy genre, in which she got good reviews and it became her career's turning point.
