Actress Yoon Joo, who battled acute liver failure, has made a full return to activity through 'HAEIN 2'.
Yoon grabs attention as jewelry's (Yoon Jae-hyun) mother, who drives the main character HAEIN (Lee Eun-saem) into a corner in the Netflix series 'HAEIN 2.'
The mother of jewelry, played by Yoon, is a person who will stop at nothing for her son. A scene where she creates a disturbance in the teacher's office by accusing HAEIN of being a perpetrator of school violence and then coldly pushes her father away while he kneels and begs, saying, 'Where are you touching? Disgusting!' heightens the tension of the drama.
Yoon pushes HAEIN to immediately call her mother, and HAEIN fiercely confronts her, leading to an intense standoff. Ultimately, a tragic situation unfolds where HAEIN kneels before her due to the teacher's persuasion, stating that if the record of the school violence remains, it will be detrimental to her graduation exam and employment.
Through this work, Yoon has drawn a multifaceted emotional line that goes beyond simply being a 'perpetrator's parent,' leaving a strong presence. Her overwhelming performance leads the flow of the drama despite a brief appearance, raising the tension significantly.
Yoon debuted as the lead in the movie 'Bad Blood,' which deals with the shocking theme of the female protagonist In-seon seeking revenge on her biological father after being born from sexual assault, receiving high praise for her outstanding acting skills. In 2016, she emerged as a promising actress in Chungmuro by being nominated for the Best New Actress award at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for her role as In-seon in the film 'My Sole Vacation.'
Yoon has steadily broadened her acting spectrum by appearing in films such as 'The Outlaws,' 'You’re So Beautified,' 'Unjust Law,' 'Trap,' 'Mrs. Wife,' as well as in the dramas 'Police Station Next to Fire Station,' 'Spirit,' 'Cheoyong 2,' and 'Kill Me, Heal Me.'
Yoon began her battle with acute liver failure in 2019 and underwent a liver transplant surgery in 2021, following a period of recovery.
