So YooJin Returns as Sitcom Lead After 19 Years: Anticipation Rises for “Villain’s Country”

Actress So YooJin breaks her long hiatus to return as the lead in a sitcom. Her agency, SOPM, confirmed to HeraldPOP on the 8th that So YooJin will be starring in the new sitcom “Villain’s Country,” and she is currently in the script reading phase.

“Villain’s Country” is a comedic sitcom depicting the life of a middle-aged K-sister, her husband, and children in a world filled with villains. The show is based on the popular American sitcom “Modern Family” and has already confirmed the casting of actors Park YoungKyu and Oh NaRa. So YooJin is set to play a sister alongside Oh NaRa, portraying the daily life of K-sisters. Her character is gaining interest as she is given the setting of a Korean cuisine researcher, which aligns with her husband Baek JongWon’s profession.

So YooJin’s return to sitcoms marks her first lead role since the 2005 SBS sitcom “Cute or Crazy.” She has previously captivated audiences with special appearances in various sitcoms, including MBC’s “Unstoppable High Kick” and tvN’s “Potato Star.” Last year, she took on her first historical drama challenge with MBC’s “My Dearest,” showcasing her excellent acting skills.

Comprising 32 episodes, “Villain’s Country” aims to showcase So YooJin’s new charms. Meanwhile, Theborn Korea, operated by So YooJin’s husband Baek JongWon, recently made headlines by being listed on KOSPI with a stock price significantly exceeding its public offering price. This project is expected to harmonize So YooJin’s acting career with her personal life, and updates on her future activities are eagerly anticipated.
