[HanCinema's News] Yun Ji-on Marks Third Straight Noteworthy Minor Role of 2021

Yun Ji-on in "Monthly Magazine Home"

Actor Yun Ji-on made his first noteworthy appearance in a drama in "Be Melodramatic" from 2019, where he played the younger brother and producer of the lead actress played by Jeon Yeo-been. This followed on his debut in the Olive drama "Dear my Room" in 2018. Now he's making a surprising resurgence with small roles in 2021 dramas that have gained disproporionate interest in clips. This suggests a positive future for the thirty-one year old musical actor who only recently switched to screen roles.

Yun Ji-on has also done an eclectic set of roles to boot. These range from a part in the romantic "Monthly Magazine Home" as a photo assistant, a turn in the serious "You Are My Spring" as a junior detective, and an appearance in the fantasy drama "The Witch's Diner" as an affectionate boyfriend. Notably, none of these dramas have been especially popular- limiting Yun Ji-on's exposure regardless of his individual performance.

He will have a better chance to prove himself in the drama "Jirisan" later this year. The mountain mystery serial is already expected to draw attention simply because it stars Jun Ji-hyun and Ju Ji-hoon in the leading roles. That role, much as the previous three summer parts, Yun Ji-on likely earned thanks to a strong performance in a more important role in the web drama "Breakup Probation, A Week" earlier this year.
