For her graduation project, Oh Ji-Eun basically submitted two projects

• A project directed by her
• A project directed by her seniors but performed by her

The movie in which she acted won an international award at a film festival which led her to joining an entertainment agency.

Her foray into movies post that, surprised her friends as they didn’t see her as a person who would get into films.

Oh ji-Eun’s Foray Into TV

Oh Ji-Eun debuted in 2006. She wanted to start off with Korean Mini Series which are about 16 to 20 episodes. These Korean Mini Series’ are the gateway to super stardom in Korea.

As she didn’t have the experience, she had to audition for roles in long-form content in Korean TV that was running for years.

In 2009 – 10, she portrayed the character of Ju Eo-young from the TV show “Three Brothers” that catapulted her fame and her reputation as an actress gained.

But even post that uptick in popularity she was replaced in the 2010 drama “Smile Again” as the director considered not giving the lead role to a newbie.

In 2013 she was part of the TV reality show called “Law of the Jungle in Himalayas” where she portrayed herself.

2016 was when she had to stop work on the TV show “Blow Breeze” as she sustained an injury during filming.

The next year she gets married.

One of the other roles that made her popular was the 2019 Drama “The Golden Garden“. This was her first role post her wedding and she nailed it!

Setbacks in her TV Career

During the shooting of Blow Breeze, she had to run with heels on. She slipped and ruptured her anterior ankle ligament. She was advised to rest for 8 weeks.

Post that she had to get a surgery done which led to her leaving the show after the 12th episode.

She portrayed the role of Park Shin Ae, a North Korean woman which was a lead role. As the character was important to the show, they couldn’t afford to kill off the character. That role was handed to Su-Hyang, an understudy.

This was a massive setback in her career and it was a lead antagonist role and in one fell swoop, she lost a role of a lifetime with no fault of her own.

There were discussions and comparisons to Kim Twae Hee when she first started off in “Three Brothers”.

Korean surgeons used the Golden Ratio of 1:1:1 as the perfect ratio for a beautiful face. So what does that mean?

That means from the top of the forehead to the eyebrows, from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose and from the nose to the chin should all be in equal proportion.

So why did a lot of users doubt that Oh Ji-Eun had plastic surgery done? One because her looks did change since she debuted and secondly she has the perfect 1 : 1 : 1 face.

Compare this to Kim Twa Hee who has a 1:1:0.8 face in terms of symmetry.
