Ryu Won (Korean: 류원; born on November 8, 1997),[1] birth name Joo Won (주원), is a South Korean actress. She is best known for her role in the MBC series Missing 9.
Born Joo Won in Haeundae, Busan, she changed her surname to avoid confusion with the namesake actor, Joo Won.[2] Ryu lived in Busan till she was in third grade of elementary school, then immigrated with her family to the United States.[3]
Ryu stated that she was originally interested in fashion design or art instead of acting. After entering a beauty contest in Los Angeles when she was 17 years old, she got an offer from JYP Entertainment to be a trainee there. Ryu moved to South Korea and started studying acting after graduating from high school at the age of 18.[2]
