About Ryu Won

At the tender age of 24, Jung Ryeo-won has decided to slow down. "I have been charging ahead, and now I'll take a rest for a while. While I relax, I'm going to lay out a daily schedule of things I really like to do," she says. Fresh from her leading part in the MBC TV hit drama "My name is Kim Sam-soon", she was offered a starring role in "Wolf" due next January -- and politely turned it down. Apart from TV commercials already shot, she only has a stint as presenter of the MBC "Entertainment News" lined up. more
