Shin Ryu Jin is famous for being a member of the K-Pop group ITZY. She made her debut in February 2019 as the group’s lead dancer, sub-vocalist, and center. Outside of her music career, Ryu Jin’s television appearances have been limited to guest spots on variety and talk shows, as well as competitions. Her only film role to date was a bit-part role in The King (2017). Given her popularity, expect plenty of eyes to fall on the project.
