Awards

Cine21 records best new actress at the 40th Blue Dragon Film Awards for Another Child. 스포츠경향 reported on 13 July 2024 that she also took the television section’s best new actress award at the 58th Baeksang Arts Awards for Inspector Koo.

2026

Two of her titles arrived together in 2026. She returned as Ji-an, now head of the storefront Murthehelp, in Disney+’s A Shop for Killers Season 2. 뉴스핌 reported on 19 August 2026 that she described the difference between the seasons this way: “시즌1에서 지안의 목표가 오로지 생존이었다면, 시즌2는 주변 사람들을 지키기 위한 반격이었다” — if Ji-an’s only goal in the first season was survival, the second was a counterattack to protect the people around her.

In tvN’s My Bias, My Boss, which began on 3 August, she plays Nam Da-reum, who joins the company her bias founded. The drama ended on 8 September with its twelfth episode, and 머니투데이 reported the finale at 3.1% (Nielsen Korea, paid platforms, nationwide households), against 3.3% for the eleventh.
