Kim Yoo-jung Teases Bold Transformation in 'Dear X', Perfectly Embodies Character Baek Ah-jin

Actress Kim Yoo-jung has signaled a new acting transformation, showcasing her signature bright demeanor.

On the 6th, Kim Yoo-jung posted on her social media account with the caption, "Dear X! Tonight at 6 PM." The drama, based on a webtoon of the same name, portrays the ambition of a sociopath, Baek Ah-jin, who uses her striking appearance and sharp intellect to manipulate others and climb to the top. Kim Yoo-jung takes on the lead role of Baek Ah-jin.

Kim Yoo-jung, known for her calm, elegant, yet subtly mysterious aura, has received praise for being a perfect fit for the role of Baek Ah-jin. To embody the character, Kim Yoo-jung sported bangs and a composed expression with a subdued smile, hinting at the character's complex nature. Yet, on set, she was seen mingling freely with fellow actors, displaying her characteristic sociability.
