Actress Cho Hye-jeong, who became famous as ‘Cho Jae-hyun’s daughter’, resumed her SNS activities.
On the 27th, Jo Hye-jung posted a picture on her Instagram account without saying anything. In the photo, Jo Hye-jeong looks quite different from before. She is different from before when she was chubby. She is presumed to be a new profile picture. It’s usually a profile picture correction, so Hye-Jung Cho’s efforts to lose weight can be seen.
Previously, BH Entertainment announced the signing of an exclusive contract with Cho Hye-jung in July. Jo Hye-jeong is the daughter of Jo Jae-hyun, and she first made her face known to the public through the 2015 SBS variety show ‘Take Care of Her Dad’. Her acting career preceded this and she did it through the 2014 film ‘Hot Girl’. She has since appeared in the dramas ‘Because It’s Your First Time’, ‘Imaginary Cat’, ‘Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo’, and ‘Confession Couple’.
Among them, in ‘Imaginary Cat’, there was a controversy over the casting of ‘Daddy Chance’ as the female lead. There was a lot of noise surrounding the work at the time because the opposite role was actor Yoo Seung-ho. Above all, even though she is a female lead, she was criticized for her attitude and acting ability as an actress who did not properly manage her body shape.
Fortunately, the controversy over her acting ability subsided as she successfully portrayed the role of weightlifter Jeong Nan-hee in ‘Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo’.
A problem arose when the smoke was turned on. It is because of the scandal over the father’s sexual scandal with Jo Jae-hyun. It’s not Cho Hye-jung’s fault, but there were also unkind glances toward Jo Hye-jung. It’s because the point of informing the public was ‘Take Care of Dad’. Since there was even a ‘Dad Chance’ controversy, the uncomfortable gaze toward Jo Hye-jung continued.
Jo Hye-jeong virtually stopped her work following her contract with Jellyfish Entertainment, which she belonged to at the time, was finalized. It is through tvN’s Saturday drama ‘Our Blues’ that Jo Hye-jeong, who returned to her non-celebrity status for a long time, reappeared. She is only regarding 4 years into the work. When Jo Hye-jung appeared out of nowhere, many words came out regarding the casting of ‘Our Blues’.
And Jo Hye-jeong signed an exclusive contract with Han Ji-min’s agency, BH Entertainment, who became involved in ‘Our Blues’. She has a foothold to resume her activities, but her distrust of Jo Hye-jeong remains. That’s why Jo Hye-jung has been without much news since her exclusive contract was signed. She is determined to go on her own path as an actress in 2023 with the resumption of SNS on this day.
Now, it’s up to you to decide. The problem of her father, Jo Jae-hyeon, is something he will solve, and Jo Hye-jeong must get out of the uncomfortable gaze of ‘Dad is the problem’ without ‘Dad Chance’. Even as an actress, she must have a surefire weapon: her acting skills. Without establishing both of these, there is no hope for Cho Hye-jung. She only has hope advisors. Cho Hye-jung’s evaluation will vary depending on her efforts and her abilities.
