Kim You-jung shows relaxed daily life amid success of spy drama

Actress Kim You-jung shared photos of herself eating tangerines on social media on the 24th, offering a contrast to her intense role as spy Lee Ga-gyeong in '100 Days of Deception'. The drama's fifth episode reached a peak viewership rating of 9.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Actress Kim You-jung has revealed glimpses of her daily life, enjoying a relaxing break while eating tangerines. While she has transformed into a spy who drives intense tension by hiding her true identity in her drama, she showed a reverse charm off-camera, appearing down-to-earth while wearing headphones and peeling tangerines.

On the 24th, Kim You-jung shared photos of her daily life through her social media. In the photos, she is seen spending a comfortable time eating tangerines while wearing headphones. Although it is an ordinary moment, the atmosphere, which is quite different from her intense character in the production, drew attention.

In particular, her relaxed appearance stands in contrast to the sharp tension she displays in the drama. While she plays a character who must grasp the intentions of others and hide her own identity, the released photos fully reveal the unadorned leisure of her daily life. She attracted the interest of fans by conveying natural charm without flashy production or special poses.

Kim You-jung is currently starring as the spy Lee Ga-gyeong in the tvN 20th anniversary special weekend drama '100 Days of Deception'. In the series, Lee Ga-gyeong is a character who leads the story while concealing her identity and mission, and Kim You-jung is meeting viewers with acting that carries the tension of the work.

The temperature difference between the weight of the drama and the actress's daily life is also interesting. On screen, she faces urgent situations where a single moment's judgment can change a character's fate, but off the set, she spends an ordinary daily life taking a breath while eating tangerines. For viewers immersed in the work, it is a scene where they can see how different the character and the actual actress are.

The drama's viewership ratings are also drawing attention. The 5th episode of '100 Days of Deception', which aired on the 24th, recorded an average of 7.0% and a peak of 9.1% for households in the Seoul metropolitan area. For households nationwide, it showed an average of 6.5% and a peak of 8.8%, ranking first in the same time slot, including cable and general programming channels.

As Kim You-jung, who keeps viewers tense as the spy Lee Ga-gyeong, shows a different charm through small rests on social media, the reversal between her appearance in the work and her daily life is adding to the interest. Attention is also focused on how '100 Days of Deception' will unravel the hidden truths of the characters and how Kim You-jung will continue to enhance the immersion of the drama with her acting.
