At the age of 19, Pyo Ye-jin became the youngest flight attendant at Korean Air after winning a competition with a fierce rate of 1:100. She joined the airline fresh out of high school, but ultimately quit her job in 2011 after one and a half years. Realizing that the job was not for her, she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and spent a year training at JYP Entertainment.

Pyo Ye-jin began her acting career in 2012 with MBC’s drama “Here Comes Mr. Oh”. Despite not having an agency at the time, she took the initiative to update her profile and took on minor roles. This determination has led her to establish a strong filmography, including notable works such as KBS 2TV’s “Fight For My Way”, tvN’s “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim”, and SBS’s “VIP”.

The actress revealed that changing her job had led her to discover something that she truly enjoys and is more suitable for her. Working in this field has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for her, especially when working towards a common goal with others. She always looks forward to seeing the end results and is constantly seeking new challenges and experiences. However, she wonders if there is anything else that could be just as interesting and fulfilling as being an actress.

Besides Pyo Ye-jin, Jo Bo-ah, the actress, also had a childhood dream of working as a flight attendant, and she even pursued aviation studies in university. However, her passion for acting was too strong, and she ultimately chose to become an actor. During her appearance on “Knowing Bros”in 2018, Jo Bo-ah shared, “When I was young, I had a dream of being a flight attendant and I worked hard to learn English.”She also revealed, “Luckily, I was able to play the role of a flight attendant in ‘The Man Living in Our House’. Acting allows me to experience various professions, which is why I decided to pursue this career.”

At the young age of 17, Seo Hyun-jin began her career as a member of SM Entertainment’s group M.I.L.K, following a year of training. However, due to various circumstances, including a member’s departure, the group disbanded after only two years. Following this, Seo Hyun-jin enrolled at Dongduk Women’s University, where she lived a typical college life as a student in the Department of Practical Music. While working part-time to fulfill her dream of becoming a flight attendant, as recommended by her parents, Seo Hyun-jin was unexpectedly cast in the musical “Sound of Music,”ultimately leading her down the path of acting.

Seo Hyun-jin also displayed her flight attendant appearance in JTBC’s “Beauty Inside”drama at a later time. During this period, she portrayed the role of Han Se-gye, a renowned actress whose face underwent a monthly transformation, and captivated audiences with her stunning portrayal as an airline model.
