Cho Hye Jung was also a ray of sunshine outside the screen, and it was sad when the actress seemingly disappeared from acting after her father faced sexual harassment allegations.

On December 27, Cho Hye Jung shocked fans when she shared new photos on her Instagram.

When the images were posted, netizens couldn’t get enough of Cho Hye Jung’s transformation. Many wished her good luck in the new year, adding how different she looked compared to her most-known role in Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo.
