Yeon Jin already a weathercaster in 2015? Lim Ji Yeon’s shocking appearance on “Law of the Jungle”

A broadcast of SBS’s program “Law of the Jungle” aired 8 years ago suddenly became a hot topic on March 14th. It is because of the soaring popularity of Netflix’s original series “The Glory”.

Lim Ji Yeon, who made viewers frustrated with her performance as a vicious and evil school violence perpetrator in “The Glory”, guested on “Law of the Jungle in Indochina”, which was broadcasted on May 2015. In particular, the actress impresses viewers with her bright and easy-going personality on the show.

According to the video uploaded on a YouTube channel run by SBS, Lim Ji Yeon was seen getting accustomed to the jungle life like a local. 

The actress surprised everyone when she ate a roasted frog as big as her palm without hesitation and exclaimed that “it tastes like chicken”. She continued to shock viewers by presenting a “rat meat” eating show.

She even tried hunting a huge snake that other male cast members were scared of, and earned the nickname “reptile girl”. Sharing her impressions, Lim Ji Yeon said, “I came to catch frogs, but I caught a snake that eats frogs. It was so interesting”.

As the actress enjoyed dishes made from the snake, she got called the “Jungle’s female warrior”.

At the same time, Lim Ji Yeon also revealed a real face without any pretense. In particular, the actress boldly showed her bare face without makeup, which is something other celebrities normally want to hide. She even had an impromptu mud shower while going hunting in a tidal flat, as well as showed her sleep-talking moments and messy appearance after waking up in the morning.

Netizens found it interesting to see the real personality of Lim Ji Yeon, who is completely different from Park Yeon Jin in “The Glory”.

Seeing the “Law of the Jungle” video, Internet users commented, “Oh Park Yeon Jin”, “Yeon Jin was demoted to the jungle”, “Yeon Jin looks so innocent here…”, “Now I know why Lim Ji Yeon is good at playing scary villain roles. She’s not afraid of anything…”, “She looks so cute”, and “I want to go to the jungle with her”, etc.

One netizen even connected Lim Ji Yeon’s playful appearance while hosting “Jungle News” to the worldview of “The Glory”, saying “She has been playing the role of a weathercaster since then”, drawing laughter. 

Born in 1990, Lim Ji Yeon made her debut in the 2011 film “Disaster Movie”. She later starred in various works, such as “Obsessed”, “Tazza”, “Spiritwalker”, “High Society”, “Blow Breeze”, “Welcome 2 Life”, “The Mansion”, “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area”, etc.
