[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] Actress Shin Yoon-ha has joined the Netflix series “Scandal,” where she will star alongside Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Nana. She is set to play a character who serves as the catalyst for the plot—going beyond a mere supporting role—and is expected to make a strong impression.

The Netflix series “Scandal,” premiering today (the 18th), depicts a dangerous love wager between Lady Jo (played by Son Ye-jin)—a woman of exceptional talent despite the constraints of the Joseon Dynasty—and Jo Won (played by Ji Chang-wook), Joseon’s greatest ladies’ man, as well as the story of Hee-yeon (played by Nana), who becomes entangled in their wager.
Shin Yoon-ha plays the role of So-ok, a concubine who enters Lady Jo’s household. In particular, So-ok is the catalyst for the wager between Lady Jo and Jo Won, and she is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the direction of the drama from the very beginning.
The previously released main trailer features So-ok with a serene expression and a radiant smile. Contrary to her innocent first impression, her appearance serves as the catalyst for rifts in relationships and the start of the plot’s events, making the changes she will bring about in the series a key point of interest.
Shin Yoon-ha first gained recognition for her role as Lee Jeong-wook, the younger sister of Lee Doo-hak, in the KBS2 drama *Oasis*. After making a strong impression by steadily portraying the emotions of a character navigating turbulent times, she is set to reveal a new side of herself in *Scandal* by taking on a character entangled in more complex relationships.
Above all, since “Scandal” is a drama centered on Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Nana that explores desire, love, and the tensions within relationships, So-ok’s role is far from that of a mere supporting character. The very premise that she is the one who fuels the bet between Mrs. Jo and Jo Won makes it highly likely that she will be a key factor in the story’s future developments.
