Last year, she displayed delicate emotional acting in the Coupang Play series 'Things After Love' and the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Motel California.' Recently, she has raised expectations with the news of her appearance in the Disney+ series 'The Remarried Empress.'

Fantagio, which signed the exclusive contract with Lee Se-young, is a management company representing artists such as Baek Yoon-sik, Kim Seon-ho, Lee Sung-kyung, and Ong Seong-wu, and is actively involved in film and drama production, overseas performances, and various other fields.
