Our Blues” Actress Jung Eun Hye Paints BLACKPINK’s Jennie For The “Blue Rose” Campaign

Before becoming an actress, Jung Eun Hye was a talented artist.

Our Blues, a K-Drama series, gained recognition and backing for its authentic portrayal of endearing yet imperfect characters. 

In an omnibus format set against the scenic backdrop of Jeju Island, the series delves into the bittersweet lives of individuals either at the peak, conclusion, or commencement of their lives.

The drama was also applauded for its decision to cast an actress with Down Syndrome to portray a character with the same condition.

Jung Eun Hye portrayed the character of Lee Young Hee, the sister of Lee Young Oak (played by Han Ji Min), in the series. Young Hee, an artist who resides in a care home, is the subject of an episode that delves into the complex bond of guilt, strife, and affection between the two siblings.
