Career

Seo Woo-jin debuted in 2017 in KBS2's Confession Couple. He appeared in OCN Save Me 2 (2019) and tvN's Hi Bye, Mama! (2020), the latter role where he played a girl, Cho Seo-woo, who is the daughter of the protagonist, Cha Yu-ri, who is portrayed by Kim Tae-hee. Seo was cast due to his striking resemblance to Kim as well as his stable acting abilities, although his costumes, dresses and long hair had some netizens concerned about gender identity.[3][4]

In 2021, he made his face known by appearing in weekend drama Young Lady and Gentleman as 6 year old cute kindergartener. For his portrayal as the role of the youngest son of the main lead Ji Hyun-woo, he won Best Young Actor award at 2021 KBS Drama Awards.
