Early life[edit]

Jung Eun-chae spent 8 years living in London, starting from middle school senior year when she was 15 years old.

Career[edit]

Jung Eun-chae debuted as a commercial model. A string of memorable commercials has earned her a CF Model of the Year title at the 2011 6th Asia Model Festival Awards.^[6] She uses a stage name instead of her real name because of the similarity with a veteran actress Park Sol-mi.^[4] Jung made her acting debut after passing the audition for the supernatural thriller film Haunters.^[7]

Since then, Jung has alternated between doing blockbuster films such as The Fatal Encounter,^[8] The King,^[9] The Great Battle^[10] and art films such as Nobody's Daughter Haewon, Hill of Freedom, The Table. Her breakthrough came with Nobody's Daughter Haewon, in which she received multiple prestigious awards winning and nominations.^[11]^[12]

Jung's debut in television dramas was through the 2011 KBS1 telenovela My Bittersweet Life.^[13] Three years later, she acted in a psychological thriller series Dr. Frost.^[14]

She was later cast as one of the main characters in the 2020 SBS TV series The King: Eternal Monarch.^[17] She gained recognition and was declared the best character according to a poll released by Cleo Singapore.^[18]^[19]
