Not only is she one of the most successful and influential supermodels in Korea, Jang Yoon Ju also pursues many other famous art, entertainment, and film projects, creating a strong impression of a multi-talented supermodel.

The drama "Queen of Tears" is one of the most anticipated television dramas in early 2024. The drama's great appeal to audiences comes partly from the cast's well-matched acting.

Besides Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, the supporting actors also contribute to making the film attractive to viewers, such as the male lead's older sister. The person who plays this character is actress Jang Yoon Ju, she impresses with her humorous and charming acting.

Baek Mi Seon is portrayed as a flashy, pretentious woman who stands out among the simple, honest people in the countryside. This woman's personality is carefree and straightforward, sometimes offending others. Jang Yoon Ju received many compliments for her portrayal of a noisy, self-important character who is inherently kind and emotional.

In movies, many viewers commented that she often plays rustic, mean, and fierce-looking characters, but in real life, Jang Yoon Ju is a professional model.

Jang Yoon Ju was born in 1980 in Seoul, South Korea. Before starring in the Netflix blockbuster, Yoon Ju was considered the most successful model in the land of kimchi.

Having felt uncomfortable with her appearance and height during her school days, Jang Yoon Ju probably never expected that it was thanks to those "fatal flaws" that helped her make her own mark, gradually reaching the pinnacle of fame in her career.

The beauty began her career as a fashion model at the age of 17. She first appeared on the catwalk as the opening and closing model for the 1997 Seoul collection of famous designer Jin Tae Ok. After more than 2 decades in the entertainment industry, Yoon Ju's name has firmly established itself in the hearts of fans.

According to L'officiel Singapore, the beauty has traveled around the world to model for high-end brands. She has even walked alongside world-famous supermodels such as Kate Moss and Carla Bruni.

Jang Yoon Ju's success is probably also due to fate. Not only fate with the catwalk, but also fate with the times, with precious opportunities that serve as a premise for a breakthrough.

Before her debut in 1997, Asian fashion was still struggling to establish itself on the world fashion map. However, by seizing the right opportunity, models of Yoon Ju’s generation not only found their place, but also contributed to changing the majority’s concept of standard beauty. Asian fashion also gradually became more prominent on the world fashion map.

With her career on the rise, Yoon Ju's reputation has gradually spread far and wide, even beyond the fashion industry. Her professionalism and perfectionism in her work have helped her gain the trust of major television producers.

Not only successful on the catwalk, Jang Yoon Ju is also a familiar TV star to Korean audiences. She has been an MC, judge, and special guest on famous shows such as Korea Next Top Models, Running Man, Get It Beauty...

Thanks to her extensive experience, Yoon Ju has collaborated with several other artists and released two beauty books. Within just a few months, more than 100,000 copies were sold out.

Besides, Jang Yoon Ju also has her own music career, although not too prominent.

In 2008, she released her first album "Dream" and followed it up with "I'm Fine" in 2012. Her last album was released in 2017, named after her daughter - Lisa.

Although she majored in cinema at Seoul Institute of the Arts, along with top actors such as Son Ye Jin, Jung Woo, Han Hye Jin... Jang Yoon Ju's acting career was not very outstanding.

It was not until she was 35 that the beauty had her first role in "Where to Run to Escape".

She once shared with The Korea Times that she had received countless offers to act in films but did not have the courage to do so. The role of Nairobi in the Korean version of "Money Heist" was a breakthrough in Jang Yoon Ju's career.

In addition to her successful career, Jang Yoon Ju is also admired by the public for her happy and fulfilling married life. In 2015, Jang Yoon Ju married CEO Jung Seung Min after meeting at a project scene. For her, the decision to get married was not easy: "Because I'm not interested in marriage, I need to make sure that I want to be with him more than living alone.

I watched a movie and saw the line "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together". I suddenly understood and decided that I would not be alone anymore".

Jang Yoon Ju's husband is four years younger than her, 1.75m tall, and the CEO of a fashion design brand. He designed their wedding invitations, wedding rings, and the interior of their current home.

The couple have participated in several reality shows about marriage, for couples. Jang Yoon Ju revealed that her husband enjoys extreme sports and traveling abroad to explore.

In January 2016, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Lisa.

In an interview with Vogue Korea, Yoon Ju shared that she was "inspired" by her adventurous husband: "He is someone who always looks towards the future. He often discusses with me how he finds joy in his work."
