Lee Yoo-mi in the movie All of Us Are Dead
Lee Yoo-mi is currently appearing on Netflix’s “All of Us Are Dead,” but she’s no stranger to reality TV fans. She previously starred in Netflix’s global hit “Squid Game.”
But the show “All of Us Are Dead” may be as gory as “Squid Game” but it has a completely different storyline. The show is based on the lives of high school teenagers trapped in Hyosan High School after a virus outbreak following a science experiment gone wrong. Soon, their friends start turning into zombies, so those who remain unaffected must fight their way out while hoping to be rescued.
In the drama, Lee plays Na Yeon, a rich, arrogant student who likes to spread rumors and judge her classmates. The actress shared about her character, “I really can’t wait to show you my character Na Yeon, and I know that many of you may hate this character and hate me for this character, but in the future, and because of that, I wish I could introduce you to a lovable and lovable character.”
Other main cast members in the film include Yoo In-Soo as Yoon Gwi-Nam, Park Ji-hu as On-jo, Yoon Chan-young as Chung-San, Shin Jae-hwi as Chang-Hoon, Park Solomon as Lee Soo-hyeok and Cho Yi-Hyun as Choi Nam-ra. The director of the film is said to have wanted all new actors for the film.
Lee Yoo-mi Net Worth
With her net worth skyrocketing to over $2 million, Lee Yoo-mi found success with “Squid Game.” She rose to fame for her role as Ji-Yeong, a young woman released from prison for killing her abusive father and befriending Jung Ho-Yeon’s character, the cool Kang Sae-byeok.
When Lee saw Kang Hye-Jung’s performance in the drama “Herb” (2007), she was quite impressed. She revealed to Cosmopolitan, “Actress Kang Hye-Jung played a mentally disabled person. I was young so I thought that a real mentally disabled person was playing the main role in the drama, but I realized that was not the case. It was shocking. I was so surprised that I was drawn to acting.”
So she started dreaming of becoming an actress at the age of 13. Her family helped her approach several agencies. Lee began auditioning and landed several commercial roles. At the age of 15, she landed her first major role in the action thriller “The Yellow Sea” and the children’s science fiction show “Future Boy.”
While filming the show, Lee worked part-time as a food delivery driver despite having been in the industry for 11 years. She said, “During my break, I worked part-time at Coupang Eats, and suddenly I got attention, like ‘Bam!’ so I still find it attractive. However, I’m trying not to realize the popularity because there are so many things I need to do from now on. I try not to forget who I am.”
But, Lee became an international sensation with “Squid Game.” She competed against thousands of auditionees for her role in Squid Game. Her performance earned her the best new actress award for the same film at the Korean Film Writers Association Awards and also received the rookie of the year award at the Buil Film Awards for “Young Adult Matters,” in which she played a pregnant high school girl who runs away from home to have an abortion.
Lee is still friends with her “Squid Game” co-stars and fans think she is the Sulli clone of the K-pop scene.
But, it must have been fate, because she almost wasn’t cast for the role in the movie because the director revealed that Ji-young was supposed to be a male character in the original script. But because he believed that relationships between women were more meaningful, he chose a female character. This is why she and Ho-Yeon Jung cried while filming.
Does Lee Yoo-mi have a boyfriend?
When it comes to relationships, Lee Yoo-mi seems to be single. She has not revealed any information about her dating life as of now. But her fans are eager to know more about her, mainly her dating life. But she doesn’t seem to be the type to reveal personal information publicly.
More importantly, Lee seems to prefer to keep his dating life private at this point. So, you know, Lee is still single in the public eye.
Does Lee Yoo-mi have an older sister?
No, as far as we know, Lee Yoo-mi doesn’t have an older sister, or at least she hasn’t appeared in public. But, actress Ho-Yeon Jung played her “older sister” on screen in the game of ink. However, they are not real sisters. Her character Ji-Yeong is closely related to Jung Ho-Yeon’s character Sae-byeok.
But, not only do their characters bond, but the actors also share a sisterly relationship. Ho-Yeon said of Yoo-mi, “Yoo-mi has more experience in acting and she’s a great actress. When I talk about my worries in acting, she’s always very thoughtful. Because I trust her, we talked about many things. So I think everything ended well. I’m still grateful to her.”
Meanwhile, Lee also said, “We are the same age and have similar interests, so we get along very well. While filming, we constantly share Ji-Yeong and Sae-byeok’s feelings. There is no way we can’t become close. After filming, we go eat spicy rice cakes together and we also go to a cafe to chat.”
