How A College Photoshoot Led JYP Entertainment To Scout Top K-Drama Actress
The Korean entertainment industry is highly competitive, and each year, thousands of hopefuls line up to audition for entertainment companies for that one chance to debut. Being scouted by an agency upfront in such an environment is a huge deal and usually implies that the individual has something extraordinary.
Those who have watched The Glory or Revenge of Others can vouch for how much actress Shin Ye Eun fits that extraordinary bill.
While Shin’s most acknowledged trait as an actress is her amazing acting skills, she is also praised for her sharp visuals. Those visuals are the reason why she ended up with a prestigious agency like JYP Entertainment (JYP hereon).
Shin debuted in 2018 in a web series called A-Teen. The same year, she signed with JYP and landed her first lead role the very next year. But what accelerated her path to this success was her appearance as a cover model for Korea’s college magazine, College Tomorrow Magazine No. 840.
According to reports, a casting director from JYP contacted Shin after seeing her pictures in the magazine, which eventually led to her signing with the top entertainment agency!
Recently, a user on Instiz posted some of these pre-debut pictures of Shin, which immediately went viral as netizens agreed that they could see why the casting director reached out to her without hesitation.
- “Wow. These are pre-debut pictures.”
