The previous season of “The Uncanny Counter”, which aired from November 2020, achieved record-breaking viewership on OCN.

Building on the popularity of the first season, she once again dons the signature red tracksuit of counters and  defeats evil spirits with a powerful charisma.

Meanwhile, Kim Se Jeong is also returning as a singer. After approximately 2 years and 5 months, she is finally making a comeback to her original profession.

In particular, Kim Se Jeong’s first appearance was on the Mnet audition program “Produce 101”, where she captivated “national producers” with her charming vocals and appearance. Having consistently ranked high throughout the show, Kim Se Jeong ended up placing 2nd in the finale and debuting as a member of project girl group I.O.I. She also debuted in the girl group Gugudan alongside I.O.I activities, and engaged in various activities as a solo artist as well.

Through songs like “Flower Way” and “Plant,” Kim Se Jeong conveyed comfort to her listeners. “Flower Way” immediately topped various music charts upon its release, and “Plant” achieved 1st place on music shows, solidifying Se Jeong’s position as a solo singer.
