Kim Hyun Joo has revealed that her entertainment career began unexpectedly after appearing in just one magazine photo.
On October 11, Kim Hyun Joo appeared alongside Lee Moo Saeng and Jin Seon Kyu on the YouTube show *Fairy Jaehyung*, where she looked back on how she first entered the industry.
During the casual conversation, Jung Jae Hyung recalled Kim Hyun Joo’s popularity early in her career and mentioned that she later appeared in a music video by singer Kim Hyun Chul.
Kim Hyun Joo then explained that she had been working as a magazine model before receiving the opportunity.
She said, *“That was my first music video. I was working as a magazine model at the time, and after just one photo appeared in a magazine, I was immediately cast. From there, things just kept happening.”*
Surprised by how quickly her career started, Jung Jae Hyung jokingly asked whether she was essentially discovered because of her looks.
Kim Hyun Joo responded playfully, *“They had a good eye.”*
Lee Moo Saeng joined the lighthearted exchange and added, *“I can’t argue with that.”*
The story highlighted how quickly Kim Hyun Joo’s career took off, with a single magazine appearance leading to casting opportunities and eventually her long-running career as an actress.
Kim Hyun Joo, Lee Moo Saeng, and Jin Seon Kyu currently appear together in tvN’s "100 Days of Deception".
