Let’s find out the whereabouts of actress Pyo Ye Jin, who plays the female lead of “Taxi Driver 2”.
In “Taxi Driver 2”, one of the most attention-grabbing K-dramas at the moment, Pyo Ye Jin plays Ahn Go Eun, the hacker hacker of the Rainbow Taxi team. She impresses viewers with her good acting and pretty appearance. Let’s find out more about the actress.
A flight attendant-turned-actress
In 2014, Pyo Ye Jin had her debut role. It was a small role in “Miss Granny”. In 2015, she starred in “Dream Knight” alongside GOT7 members.
In the following years, Pyo Ye Jin had the opportunity to join the cast of multiple famous dramas such as “Doctors”, “The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop”, “Fight for My Way”, “When You Were Sleeping”, “What’s wrong with Secretary Kim?”, “Hotel del Luna”.
Threatened to be “fried” by a neighbor, causing her mother to be shocked because of her mistress role
Before landing lead roles, despite having starred in many successful dramas, Pyo Ye Jin had yet to become familiar to viewers of K-dramas because she only took on small roles.
Nevertheless, her efforts over the past years were finally recognized in a deserving way. In 2019, Pyo Ye Jin was cast as the female lead in “VIP” and had the opportunity to work alongside experienced seniors such as Jang Na Ra, Lee Sang Yoon, and Lee Chung Ah.
“VIP” achieved impressive ratings, reaching almost 10%, and Pyo Ye Jin won the Best Supporting Actress award at the 2019 SBS Drama Awards. This is a well-deserved reward for the actress after her efforts to portray the character of Ohn Yoo Ri.
However, because she acted so well, she encountered unwarranted troubles, as Ohn Yoo Ri is a despicable “mistress.” Pyo Ye Jin said her mother was shocked. Meanwhile, some of her neighbors hated her character so much that they transferred their dislike to the actress herself. She said, “It was really scary, a few people who live near me said they don’t want to see me anymore. Some even threatened to fry me.”
Replacing Lee Na Eun in Taxi Driver
After VIP, Pyo Ye Jin’s ability was recognized by film producers. Then, luck once again came to her with the role of Ahn Go Eun in the series Taxi Driver. Originally, the role of Ahn Go Eun was assigned to the beautiful idol Lee Na Eun, who had been recognized by many colleagues as the “most beautiful K-POP idol” in a poll during the Lunar New Year 2021. However, the former member of the group April was removed from the film due to a bullying scandal.
In the end, Pyo Ye Jin did not disappoint those who placed their trust in her. Along with her co-stars, she contributed to the success of season 1 and promises to do the same in season 2.
Besides “Taxi Driver 2”, Pyo Ye Jin is also currently appearing in another buzzworthy project, Our Blooming Youth.
Don’t miss out “Taxi Driver 2” with the appearance of Pyo Ye Jin on Fridays and Saturdays on SBS.
