A new face with extraordinary academic credentials is set to make her mark on the small screen.
Park Ye-ni (born 1993), a rising actress who graduated early from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and later earned a master’s degree from Harvard University, has been cast in JTBC’s upcoming drama A Hundred Memories.
The drama, premiering on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST, is a retro youth melodrama set in the 1980s. It follows the friendship and bittersweet first loves of bus attendants Young-rye (Kim Da-mi) and Jong-hee (Shin Ye-eun), along with their fateful connection to Jae-pil (Heo Nam-joon).
Park Ye-ni plays Choi Jung-bun, a fellow bus attendant at Cheong-A Transportation. Known as a “swearing pacifist” who avoids conflict but delivers hilariously creative insults, Jung-bun adds a colorful spark to the group. She bonds with her colleagues in both work and dorm life, showcasing warmth as the team’s nurturing figure while also using her skillful hands for makeup and hairstyling.
Viewers can expect lively chemistry from the ensemble, with Jung-bun nicknamed “the mom of the group” among the annyeoyangz (bus attendant squad).
Park Ye-ni has been steadily building her career across platforms this year, with roles in Netflix’s The Trauma Code, TVING’s I Am A Running Mate, ENA’s Salon de Holmes, and Wavve’s S-Line. Each project has highlighted her versatility and strengthened her reputation as a promising actress to watch.
A Hundred Memories marks another major step forward as she joins acclaimed leads Kim Da-mi and Shin Ye-eun in bringing a nostalgic yet fresh youth story to life.
