Shin Hye-sun to make a comeback with 'Filing for Love'... the youngest of Haemu Group
Actress Shin Hye-sun will play the role of Joo In-ah, the youngest female executive, in the 2026 tvN drama 'Filing for Love'.
Actress Shin Hye-sun shared her recent status with a neat white-toned look. Recently, Shin Hye-sun released a side-profile photo on her personal SNS, smiling while resting her chin on her hand indoors. In the photo, paired with a neatly pulled-up hairstyle and white clothing, Shin Hye-sun exuded a calm atmosphere under bright lighting.
This update raises expectations for the new character she will showcase through her upcoming work, 'Filing for Love'. The tvN drama 'Filing for Love', scheduled to premiere on April 25, 2026, consists of 12 episodes and is scheduled to air every Saturday and Sunday at 21:10.
Joo In-ah, an executive of Haemu Group nicknamed 'Joo In-Out'
Joo In-ah, played by Shin Hye-sun, is the youngest female executive of Haemu Group. She is a character with nicknames like 'Joo In-Out', meaning you are 'out' if you get targeted by her, and 'Joo-Ji-Cheo-Cham', implying things will become disastrous if you offend her. She is far from the typical cold and rigid career woman. She offers friendly greetings, cracks silly jokes, and even lightens the mood by performing idol dances at karaoke. However, she possesses an unpredictable side that turns frostily cold the moment one lets their guard down.
The drama depicts a tense, close-contact audit romance between Joo In-ah, who holds secrets, and Noh Gi-jun (played by Gong Myoung), an ace who has been demoted to the position of catching workplace misconduct (PM). Noh Gi-jun, who was scouted to the Haemu Group headquarters audit office, begins working within the organization known as Audit Team 3 after meeting Joo In-ah. The cast includes Kim Jae-wook (as Jeon Jae-yeol), Hong Hwa-yeon (as Park A-jeong), Oh Dae-hwan (as Mu Kwang-il), Jang In-sub (as Cha Seong-tae), and Park Ju-hee (as Pyeon Hae-young). It is produced by Studio Dragon, directed by LEE SUHYUN, and written by Yeo Eun-ho.
