Biography
Yum Jung-ah is a South Korean actress born July 28, 1972. Before acting took over, she competed in pageants—first runner-up at Miss Korea 1991 and second runner-up at Miss International 1992. Her film career spans indie dramedies and prestige projects: A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), The Big Swindle (2004), The Old Garden (2006), and Cart (2014). On television, she gained wider recognition in Royal Family (2011) and the hit ensemble drama Sky Castle (2018), playing the complex matriarch role that became her signature. Actors in her generation navigated the shift from film-heavy careers to streaming-era television presence; Yum's willingness to anchor ensemble casts kept her visible across both mediums. As a Leo born in the early 1970s, her life-path number 9 suggests she gravitates toward roles with moral weight and transformative arcs.
