Ye Soo-jung

Ye Soo-jung, born March 25, 1955, in South Korea, has this wild, sprawling career that just keeps getting better with age. If you haven’t seen her in Train to Busan (2016), honestly—what are you even doing? She played the grandmother, and, man, that role just hit different. She brings this raw, authentic emotion into every scene, like you can actually feel what she’s feeling—grief, hope, all that jazz. It’s not just a zombie flick when she’s on screen; it’s suddenly about family and sacrifice. Then there’s Sin-gwa Ham-kke: Jwi-wa Beol (2017)—yeah, that’s the Along With the Gods series. She pops up in a story that’s basically an epic ride through the afterlife, with gods, lost souls, and a ton of heart. Ye Soo-jung’s got this ability to make even a fantasy world feel grounded. She’s like your favorite aunt who’s seen it all and doesn’t sugarcoat anything. And don’t even get me started on 69 se (2019). That film takes a hard look at relationships, aging, and the messiness of life. Her performance? Subtle but totally devastating. She’s not one for overacting; it’s all in the eyes, the small gestures, the way she just exists within the story. Honestly, she’s one of those actresses who elevates anything she’s in. Doesn’t matter if it’s horror, fantasy, or straight-up drama—she owns it. If you’re sleeping on her filmography, you’re missing out, big time.
