Actress Jun Ji Hyun is taking a bold new step in her career: after debuting in 1997, she will make her first official web variety show appearance on YouTube. According to her agency, Peachy Company, she recently filmed for entertainer Hong Jin Kyung’s channel “Study King True Genius Hong Jin Kyung”. While the release date has yet to be announced, the move is already creating a buzz in the entertainment industry.
Though Jun Ji Hyun briefly appeared on fellow actress Lee Mi‑Sook’s YouTube channel during the promotional period for her Disney+ series Tempest, this marks her first formal participation in a YouTube production. Her decision to join Hong Jin Kyung’s channel is notable given their established friendship having first worked together in the 2014 SBS drama My Love from the Star and later in The Legend of the Blue Sea.
Since beginning her career as a magazine model in 1997 and transitioning to acting in 1998 with the drama Fascinate My Heart, Jun Ji Hyun has maintained a profile focused primarily on film and television. Now, by stepping into the world of web entertainment, she appears ready to expand her horizons. Additionally, she recently founded her one‑person agency Peachy Company and is currently preparing for the release of director Yeon Sang‑ho’s new film Colony following her series Tempest.
This YouTube appearance is therefore more than a casual guest spot it signals a new chapter for Jun Ji Hyun in which she may engage more directly with digital audiences, further broadening her influence in the evolving media landscape.
