Jeon Jong-seo is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on July 5, 1994 in Seoul, South Korea. Jeon Jong-seo (Korean: jeonjongseo ; born 5 July 1994) is a South Korean actress. She is most well- known for her performance as Hae-mi, a character from the 2018 critically acclaimed South Korean thriller Burning.

In May of 2018 the film was premiered in the Cannes Film Festival, where Jeon was the first to walk through the carpet. The film was praised by the world as it competed in the Palme d’Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, and was the very first Korean film to be included on the shortlist of nine films for Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards.

For her first role in the film, Jeon received international critical acclaim, including Best New Performer winner at the 2019 Asian Film Critics Association Awards, and being selected for The Hollywood Reporter Critics’ “15 International Breakout Talents of 2018” feature.

In 2020, Jeon will star in her second film, Call. She plays Young-seok, who believes that the telephone connected to the future is the only hope to save herself from making dangerous choices. The film will premiere in March 2020.

Jeon Jong-seo began her acting career when she was a part of a management company and took an audition for the very first time in of 2017 for director Lee Chang-dong’s thriller film Burning. An unexperienced actress with no experience in the entertainment industry, Jeon won the competition and was offered the lead role in her first audition.

Pierce Conran of Screen Anarchy wrote, “Plucked from auditions, first-timer Jeon Jong-seo achieves something almost unthinkable for a rookie, as she embodies a character who is caught between her dreams and reality, her yearning for freedom and role in society, and the powerful desires of those around her and her own. She is magnetic every time she appears on screen, at once playful and aching with a longing for something that she may never understand.” John Powers of Vogue wrote, “[i]n a marvelous screen debut, she gives a radiant turn, blooming so brightly–especially in a stoned twilight dance to Miles Davis–that she often outshines her male costars. Whenever she’s not on-screen, the film instantly grows darker, unhappier.” Justin Chang of Los Angeles Times wrote, “Jeon, making a remarkable screen debut, brings this young woman to beautiful, soulful and defiant life.”

Jeon initially didn’t want the role of Hae-mi, a free-spirited character in Burning due to the fact that she believed she was not likely to being chosen. The audition was held just three days after joining her current agency for talent. Director Lee Chang-dong stated about the audition “When I saw her, she seemed to have this very childlike sense of innocence, but at the same time, she carried this sense of duality — as if something much bigger was on the other side of that innocence. So I thought she would be great to give Hae-mi the presence that is so central for the film — conveying that inner depth that this character has.” Also, “Perhaps I was unconsciously drawn to the fact that everything was a ‘first time’ for her. Also, she has a face that makes people wonder what she’s feeling and thinking. I think that made her a good fit for Haemi’s character.” Lee added that even though the scene in the dance sequence was included in the script, movements weren’t planned or practiced, but instead, Jeon’s spontaneous moves.

Jeon Jong-seo was born in Seoul, the only child in the family. Jeon and her family moved to Canada when she was a child. She attended a middle school in Canada, then returned to Korea and graduated from Anyang Arts High School. After high school, she attended Sejong University majoring in film. In 2018 she took a break from university to pursue her acting career more freely.
