Early life and education

Seo was born in March 2, 1994, at Busan, South Korea. Seo wanted to be an actress while she was in elementary school, but her parents disapproved of her aspirations. In 2007 to 2013, Seo studied middle school and high school at Haeundae Tourism High School. From the second grade of middle school until the second grade of high school, she focused on dancing. When she was a sophomore at Haeundae, she dreamed of becoming an actress by making a monologue and she was acting by herself while watching the work. She finally enrolled in the acting program at the Korea National University of Arts in 2013 and graduated there with a degree in acting.[5][unreliable source?] In 2015, she began acting in commercials, which attracted the public's attention. Several dramas starred the actress.[5][unreliable source?]

Career

2015: Predebut and career beginnings

Seo had always wanted to be an actress, but it took her a long time to persuade her parents to allow her enroll in acting classes. She enrolled in the Korea National University of Arts in 2013, and it was about that time, while she was looking for part-time work, that she received her first offer to appear in a commercial in 2015.[6]

2016–present: Acting debut and career

She started her acting career as she took the lead role in the short film Hongeo: Fermented Skate Fish (2016) and her first television appearance in the series Don't Dare to Dream (2016), which was quickly followed by the drama series Dr. Romantic (2016). In the 2016 SBS television program, Don't Dare to Dream, Seo made her acting debut. She was cast as one of the leads in the OCN sci-fi thriller Duel in 2017. She received her big break in the same year by portraying the sister of Shin Hye-sun's character in the popular KBS2 family drama My Golden Life. For her performance in the show, she took home the Best New Actress prize at the 11th Korea Drama Awards. The drama also won her nominations for Best New Actress at the 54th Baeksang Arts Awards and the 2017 KBS Drama Awards.[6]
