Yoon Joo (Korean: 윤주, born December 4, 1989) is a South Korean actress.
Yoon was a 3rd Dan taekwondo player until middle school, when she ended her sport training due to an injury.[1] She then attended Anyang Arts High School to learn acting.[2] After graduating from Suwon Women's University with a degree in acting, Yoon got her first role in the 2010 theater play Catch him.[3] In the same year, Yoon played the main role in the movie Bad Blood , after she was introduced to the audition by a person who worked with her on the play Catch him.[4] However, the film was not released for two years after filming, during which Yoon struggled to make money while work on various part-time jobs such as serving in a coffee shop to move out of her parents' house who were against her career choice.[5][6] In November 2012, Bad Blood was released and her performance received positive reviews.[7][8] The Seoul Shinmun evaluated her performance, saying, "Yoon's strong acting is impressive as she plays a shocking and complex character in her debut which attracted our attention."[9] Fashion magazine Arena Homme + named Yoon as the 2013 promising rookie actress.[10]
