Rise to Prominence
So-Min continued to work in the entertainment industry, taking on acting projects, mainly on television. She was relatively unknown and so had minor roles in programs such as “East of Eden” and “One Mom and Three Dads”.
She also had a lot of independent projects, and guest roles. Following a one year role in “Insu, The Queen Mother”, she finally achieved her breakthrough when she was cast as Oh Ro-Ra in the television series “Princess Aurora”, which established her as an up-and-coming star.

It follows the story of the youngest child of a wealthy family, as she tries to manage their family business, and intervenes with many of her siblings’ endeavors before eventually discovers love on her own.
Following her work there, she started gaining more projects, including an appearance in 2014’s “Endless Love” though she only had a minor role in the show. She also worked on “More than a Maid” alongside Jeong Yu-Mi and Oh Ji-Ho.
