Actress Jeon Hye Jin Makes First Public Appearance In Over A Year Amid Massive Support

Actress Jeon Hye Jin, who lost her actor husband, Lee Sun Kyun, in December 2023, remained out of the spotlight since. Only in June 2024, her agency, Hodoo & U Entertainment, confirmed her role in the Genie TV K-Drama, Riding Life.
As of February 25, 2025 (KST), though, the widowed actress made her first public appearance in over a year. Alongside her co-stars, Jeon Hye Jin attended the online press conference for the upcoming premiere of Riding Life.
Riding Life is considered Jeon Hye Jin’s first piece of work following the passing of her husband. While the actress had K-Movies Revolver and Cross released in 2024, both had completed filming before his passing.

At the press conference, Jeon Hye Jin shared how “special” it feels to be able to present Riding Life and hoped that the “viewers can find comfort, encouragement, and joy while watching” the K-Drama.
Watching the actress, fans could not help but feel emotional…
