Her agency Early Bird Entertainment stated, "After careful consideration, [Jin Se Yeon] decided to make her return to dramas through this production... Although she consistently acted in theater, she is working hard to prepare for her first drama in a long time, so we ask for your love and support."

She'll be playing Yoon Ok Ryun, the female lead and love interest of Kim Hyun Joong's character. Yoon Ok Ryun is known for her pretty face and becomes a famous singer in Shanghai.

Jin Se Yeon shared, "Following 'Five Fingers', I am awaiting my first drama in a long time with a nervous and excited heart... During the past year, I studied acting a lot to show a good image through my stage for the musical 'Closer' and acting classes. I will prepare a lot more and work hard in the remaining time to show a good image. I ask for your support."

'Generation of Youth' takes place in Shanghai, China during the 1930s and portrays the story of love and friendship. Stay tuned for its premiere following 'Pretty Man' this January!
