Early life
Oh Yeon-seo was born in Jinju, South Gyeongsang Province and grew up in Changnyeong County with her parents and younger brother who studies cooking.
In the second year of middle school, Oh followed a group of friends to an audition for S.M. Entertainment, held in Daegu, but was rejected. However, another company contacted her saying that she had qualified and she moved to Seoul, debuting in just four months at the age of 15.
Oh was accepted into Anyang Arts High School after her band's disbandment and went on to become an actress. It was then where she changed her name from Haet-nim to Yeon-seo after consulting a shaman with her mother.
Oh then entered Dongguk University, joining the theater and film department.
Career
Oh Yeon-seo made her entertainment debut in 2002 when she was only 15 years old under her real name Oh Haet-nim, with the band LUV, alongside Jo Eun-byul and Jeon Hye-bin. They released their first album "Story" that year, which included the singles "Orange Girl" and "I Still Believe in You." However, the band was short-lived and disbanded barely after six months due to their low popularity. Oh then shifted to acting but remained unknown for a long period of time.
In 2012, she planned to quit the entertainment industry in if it didn't work out as it had already been ten years since her debut,[2] but the opportunity of Bang Mal-Suk in My Husband Got a Family arose and she felt that the role was made for her and she did everything to get it. Her popularity finally rose in 2012 with her role of Bang Mal-Suk and she was even cast in the popular variety series We Got Married alongside MBLAQ's Lee Joon.[3]
Towards the end of 2012, Oh was cast in daily drama Here Comes Mr. Oh where she had her first lead role of Na Gong-ju, a chaebol daughter who wanted to find true love instead of men that dated her only for her money. She and co-star Lee Jang-woo were soon wrapped up in dating scandal not long after 2013[4] and she left We Got Married after five months, citing scheduling issues, to focus on her drama.[5]
In 2013, Oh played a thoracic resident surgeon in medical drama Medical Top Team[6] alongside Shinee's Choi Min-ho. She was appointed an ambassador for the first annual Animal Film Festival in Suncheon along with Kim Min-joon and Gal So-won to help raise awareness for animal rights and welfare in August.[7]
On 8 May 2014, Oh was appointed a Red Cross Ambassador together with actor Ryu Soo-young. She also played the lead role of Jang Bo-ri, a compassionate and selfless person, in the highly acclaimed Jang Bo-ri is Here!. The drama's ratings peaked at 40.4% and her popularity exploded once more.[8] She had a hard time playing the character as she grew up in Gyeongsang-do but her character had to speak the Jeolla-do dialect, which she had never used in her entire life.[9] She also received the stress of having to portray the flawless character and previously stated in an interview that finding a person like Jang Bo-ri is impossible in real life.
Oh played Shin Yool, the last princess of Balhae, in the 2015 drama Shine or Go Crazy, co-starring Jang Hyuk.[10]
Oh starred alongside Rain in the SBS drama Please Come Back, Mister which aired from 24 February to 14 April 2016. This was Oh's first SBS drama since 2006 and she played Han Hong-nan, Kim Su-ro's character, Han Gi-tak's reincarnation in a female's body. In this role, she showed off superb female chemistry with co-star Lee Ha-nui,[11] whom she acted with in her previous project Shine or Go Crazy, and impressed viewers with her masculine role.[12]
Oh will be starring in South Korean movie, Take Off 2, set to release in the summer of 2016. She will star as Park Chae-gyeong, a member of the first South Korean woman's national ice hockey team.
On 11 May 2016, it was announced that Oh would be MC-ing for the male version of Mnet's Produce 101, Boys24.[13] This will be Oh's first time MC-ing for a program and it is set to be airing in June 2016.
