Right from her very first feature, Jeon Jong-seo has established that she is a daring actress, when it comes to her film choices. Starting her career on a very strong foot as Hae-mi in Lee Chang-dong's acclaimed “Burning”, she has gone on to play a psychotic serial killer from the past in Lee Chung-hyun's “The Call” and had a frank conversation on sex and relationships in the romance “Nothing Serious”, while also making her international debut in an Ana Lily Amirpour feature. Yet again, she subverts expectations and changes genres, this time going full-action mode in “The Call” director and real-life boyfriend Lee Chung-hyun's new work “Ballerina”.
