Actress Shim Eun-kyung is set to showcase her remarkable talent in entertainment following her return to domestic drama.
According to OSEN on the 18th, Shim Eun-kyung participated in the recording of the tvN entertainment program "You Quiz on the Block."
As a result, Shim Eun-kyung will reunite with Yoo Jae-suk for the third time in entertainment. Previously, she appeared on MBC's "How Do You Play?" aired in February with Japanese national actor Matsushige Yutaka, where they showcased their eating broadcast.
At that time, Shim Eun-kyung received much attention for her first appearance in entertainment in 11 years. Moreover, since the only time she appeared in entertainment before was on SBS's "Running Man" in 2014, the reunion of Shim Eun-kyung and Yoo Jae-suk after 11 years also drew significant interest.
Because of this, Shim Eun-kyung quickly became close to Yoo Jae-suk based on memories from "Running Man." She recalled, "It was tough back then. It was my first time in entertainment, and I thought I had to do well and have fun, but I had to participate from 5:30 a.m. As soon as I woke up, they asked me to sing. After filming the opening, Yoo Jae-suk suddenly told me to run." Yoo Jae-suk also empathized, saying, "I heard that when you’re usually at home, you lie down a lot. The concept back then required a lot of running, so it must have been tough."
Additionally, Shim Eun-kyung, who appeared once again on "How Do You Play?" aired on the 24th of last month, showed a hilarious chemistry with Lee Yi-kyung through their contrasting characters. Expectations are high for her enhanced entertainment skills on "You Quiz on the Block."
Furthermore, Shim Eun-kyung recently appeared in the movie "Sunny" alongside characters played by Kang So-ra, Kim Min-young, and Kim Bo-mi from her high school days. She challenged her first fixed entertainment program by appearing in MBC's new reality observational entertainment program "I'm Sunny, Thank You." As it is set to air for the first time in July, attention is focused on whether she will share shooting episodes.
In particular, according to OSEN, Shim Eun-kyung is set to return to the small screen after being cast in the drama "How to Become a Building Owner in Korea," starring Ha Jung-woo and Lim Soo-jung. Excluding special appearances, this will be her first return to domestic drama in about five years since her appearance in tvN's "Money Game" aired in 2020.
"How to Become a Building Owner in Korea" is a thriller drama that portrays the story of those who become the 'building owners' that everyone dreams of but in reality struggle with debt. It depicts the process of becoming involved in crime to protect family and property, which are more precious than life. Shim Eun-kyung plays a character who returns to her homeland after being adopted overseas. Life in Seoul is unfamiliar and cruel for her, and she is expected to play a key role in the increasingly entangled incidents.
In this way, Shim Eun-kyung, who has announced her return to domestic drama after five years, is expected to captivate the viewing public with her unprecedented activities in entertainment.
Meanwhile, Shim Eun-kyung is set to have the domestic release of the Japanese movie "Travel and Days" (tentative title) in December, and she will officially begin filming for "How to Become a Building Owner in Korea" from the second half of this year.
