Jo Yeo-jeong, looking at 30 years of recorded makeup: “To a place that is truly me”

Jo Yeo-jeong's Sincere Confession: Rediscovering the Value of Recording

Actress Jo Yeo-jeong took a moment to reflect on her acting career and the meaning of keeping records. Recently, through her social media, she shared her recent visit to a film makeup exhibition, sharing with fans the resonance felt from records accumulated over a long period of time.

In the posted content, a photo of a glass door featuring a poster that reads "Song Jong-hee's 30 Years of Film Makeup" stands out. Beyond the door, the figures of people viewing the exhibition are faintly visible. Jo Yeo-jeong candidly expressed the emotions she felt while experiencing this exhibition. She wrote, "There were times when I thought my personality of recording everything was unusual," adding, "I had almost stopped doing it for a while, but the impression given by Teacher Song Jong-hee's meticulous records of film makeup feels like it will bring me back to my true self." Her habit of recording, which she once considered unusual, has returned as a positive driving force through the sincere records of another.

Jo Yeo-jeong did not stop at simply viewing the exhibition; she used it as an opportunity to reflect on the path she has walked as an actress. Finding points of similarity between herself and the work of a makeup artist who has silently recorded a single field for 30 years, she showed herself reaffirming her identity as a performer.
