A former Hanlim Arts High School fashion-model who has helped launch stars such as NewJeans’ Minji and I.O.I’s Jeon So-mi.

Jang Se-ryeom has been cast in JTBC’s highly anticipated drama Seoul Jagae: The Story of a Manager at a Major Company. The series follows a middle-aged man who, after losing everything he values in an instant, eventually discovers his true self—not as a corporate boss but through a long journey.

She will portray Mira, a现场 worker who encounters Kim Nak-su (Ryoo Seung-ryong), the former head of the company, after he is reassigned to a factory.

Previously, Jang Se-ryeom rose to prominence on MBC’s Undercover High School, appearing as a ghost of a legless high-school girl, delivering a chilling and emotionally gripping performance that earned her the nickname “horror queen” and rising status.

She also starred as the female lead in Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN) screening film 몽중, and left a strong impression in films such as 주희에게, 익스트림 페스티벌, and Netflix’s Human Class.

She is a former fashion model from Hanlim Arts High School, which has produced numerous stars including NewJeans’ Minji and I.O.I’s Jeon So-mi.

With a demure, cute look and a height of 170 cm, she is drawing attention as a rising “hybrid-type” actress following Shin Hye-sun and Kim Da-mi.

As a rising “hybrid” actress, she is expected to deliver another transformative performance in this project.
