Actress Gong Ji-ho of the girl group Oh My Girl has signed an exclusive contract with My Nest Company and is beginning her full-fledged acting career.
Gong Ji-ho debuted in 2015 as a member of the girl group Oh My Girl and received immense love from the public through numerous hit songs such as 'Secret Garden', 'Fireworks', 'A Little Shy', 'Dolphin', and 'Dun Dun Dance'. In particular, 'A Little Shy' and 'Dolphin' are considered representative songs that elevated Oh My Girl to the ranks of a 'top girl group', further solidifying Gong Ji-ho's presence, who held the vocal position within the group.
In 2022, he transitioned to acting and took on the role of a genius hacker named Myeong Tae-geum in the SBS drama 'Buried Hearts', marking his first challenge in serious acting. With his acting ability not typical of a newcomer, he not only perfectly blended into the character but also brought vitality to the drama through natural chemistry with fellow actors Park Hyung-sik (Seo Dong-joo) and Lee Yu-jun (Bae Won-bae), receiving high praise. This proved his potential as an actor capable of portraying serious and deep emotional performances, moving beyond the bright and lovely image he had during his idol days.
Gong Ji-ho's new home, My Nest Company, is a specialized production company founded by a producer who has presented numerous buzzworthy works, and it has been recognized for its solid drama production capabilities. This exclusive contract is the first step for My Nest Company to expand its activities beyond production into actor management. The company highly values actor Gong Ji-ho's diverse talents and potential, and plans to fully support his acting activities based on its production infrastructure and planning capabilities.
With a new start alongside his new agency, Gong Ji-ho is set to leap forward as the next generation of talented actors, challenging himself with various genres and characters based on the public recognition and fresh acting skills he built during his idol days. His future movements are attracting attention.
