Actress Kim Hye-eun plays Yang Chan-mi, the fencing coach of the main characters Na Hee-do and Ko Yu-rim in tvN’s drama “Twenty-five Twenty-one”, which received keen attention recently. Kim Hye-eun was loved for playing a true coach who doesn’t hesitate to use the carrot-and-stick method to train her students.

It is a well-known fact that Kim Hye-eun graduated from Seoul National University majoring in the Department of Vocal Music. She even went to the Juilliard School but while training there, she realized the limitations of her skills. Kim Hye-eun then gave up her career as a musician and returned to Korea with the new dream of becoming an announcer.

Kim Hye-eun took the challenge at MBC’s announcer open recruitment in 1997 but unfortunately, she ranked No.3 while MBC only accepted 2 candidates. The No.1 and No.2 were announcers Kim Joo-ha and Bang Hyun-joo. Therefore, Kim Hye-eun was first admitted as an announcer at a local affiliate of MBC in Cheongju. She later moved to Seoul and worked as a weathercaster for 8 years.

Taking a 3-year break after resigning from MBC, Kim Hye-eun began acting in earnest by taking on the role of the daughter-in-law Shin Sook-young, who graduated from the vocal music department, in MBC’s daily drama “Ahyeon-dong Madam”.
