From Action Hero to Apocalypse Survivor: How Lee Jae-in Became a 'Genre Unto Herself' in 2025!
If you were to name the busiest and most drastically transformative actor in Chungmuro in 2025, it would undoubtedly be Lee Jae-in.
Just six months ago, she was a cheerful taekwondo girl dashing across the screen, shouting "Fighting!" Come winter, she returned as a survivor breathing heavily amidst ruins. Having completely shed the "child actor" label and becoming a 'genre' unto herself, let's trace the records Lee Jae-in proved in 2025!
1. The Poison in the Ruins: The Shocking Transformation in 'Concrete Market'
Those who watched the film 'Concrete Market,' released on the 3rd, must have felt an unfamiliar shock. In the cruel world after a major earthquake, there was no trace of the youthful Lee Jae-in in the 18-year-old survivor 'Hee-ro' she played.
"I acted this role when I was actually 18. I wanted to capture the sharp energy that only that age can show."
To express desperation, she wore rough makeup on her face, and her eyes, shining intensely even in the dark, firmly held the center of the drama. Her venomous acting, confronting the absurd order created by adults, was enough to elicit praise like "As expected of Lee Jae-in."
2. The Summer Blockbuster Jackpot: 'High Five'
Turning the clock back six months, we realize how wide her spectrum truly is. In the film 'High Five,' released in June, she delivered refreshing laughter as 'Wan-seo,' a taekwondo girl who gains superpowers after a heart transplant.
The high-difficulty wire action exploding from her small frame earned her the modifier "action genius," and the film topped the box office, beating out Hollywood blockbusters, proving her 'ticket power.' In the same year, she showed polar opposite charms, oscillating between an 'action hero' and a 'disaster survivor.'
3. 2026: Racing Beyond Korea to the World
If she mastered action and disaster films on the big screen, she added depth of emotion on the small screen through Netflix's 'Unknown Seoul.' Playing the school days of Park Bo-young, she made a definite impression on global fans.
Lee Jae-in's 2026 is already full.
January 5th: Kicks off the new year with the tvN drama 'Spring Fever.'
Global Project: Works alongside veteran seniors like Cha Tae-hyun and Im Se-mi in 'Personal Taxi,' a joint production with Japan's Fuji TV.
The mysterious girl from the movie 'Svaha: The Sixth Finger' grew up to be a survivor in a disaster, became a super-powered hero, and is now an actress knocking on the hearts of viewers worldwide. In 2025, actress Lee Jae-in proved that she is a 'genre' unto herself.
