Actress Jung Ji So is gaining widespread attention after revealing a strikingly different appearance in her latest social media update.
On January 14, Jung Ji So shared several newly taken profile photos along with casual snapshots on her personal SNS. In the images, she confidently pulls off leather jackets, tailored suits, and all black outfits, presenting a far more mature and refined image. The calm, urban atmosphere marks a clear departure from the soft and innocent image she was known for during her child actress years, drawing strong reactions from viewers.
Her noticeably sharper facial lines quickly became a hot topic online. With a more defined jawline and clearer features, netizens commented, “Her vibe has completely changed,” and “Is that really Jung Ji So?” While some praised her transformation, others raised speculation about possible cosmetic procedures. At the same time, past comments in which she candidly discussed the reasons behind her change have resurfaced.
Jung Ji So previously revealed that fan feedback influenced her approach to styling. After attending a film stage greeting in comfortable, casual clothing, she recalled receiving advice from fans suggesting she could dress up more for official appearances. Following that experience, she said she began paying closer attention to styling and personal care in line with public schedules.
She first became widely known for her role as Da Hye, the daughter of the Park family, in the Academy Award winning film 'Parasite.' She later delivered a powerful performance as the younger version of Moon Dong Eun, portrayed by Song Hye Kyo, in Netflix’s hit series 'The Glory.' Since then, Jung Ji So has steadily built her filmography across both television and film, consistently showcasing new sides of herself as she establishes her presence as an adult actress.
In past interviews, Jung Ji So has directly addressed her changing appearance. She explained that before starting a project, she often spends about a month engaging in intense exercise and strict dietary management, sometimes limiting herself to one meal a day. She has emphasized that physical transformation is part of her acting process and an essential element in fully immersing herself in each role.
