STAYC's Yoon made a strong impression through 'Office Workers'.

Yoon played the role of Shim Ja-yoon in the first episode of the Coupang Play series 'Office Workers' (directed by Kim Min and Kang Na-rae), which was released on the 22nd, leading the drama with her vibrant presence.

'Office Workers' depicts the office survival story of MZs who are caught between AZ and Gen Z, set against the backdrop of a struggling small advertising company, DY Planning. STAYC's Yoon infused fresh charm into her role as the passionate intern Shim Ja-yoon.

On this day, Yoon perfectly portrayed the light-hearted 'Gen Z' character Shim Ja-yoon. She was bright and full of enthusiasm, but her overly passionate and oblivious actions brought laughter. Yoon's natural acting, which seemed to flow between the script and ad-libs, heightened the fun and immersion.

In particular, she arrived late with a cheerful demeanor, and while showing her preparedness by finding out in advance that guest Hyeri doesn't drink coffee, she caused confusion by not bringing any drinks for Hyeri. Additionally, she helped Ji Ye-eun with her presentation in a clumsy manner while drawing attention with her enthusiastic responses and reactions.

Despite being her first acting challenge, Yoon elicited laughter with her playful interactions with the other cast members. As a representative figure of Gen Z in 'Office Workers', there is growing anticipation for how the character Shim Ja-yoon will continue to shine.

Meanwhile, Yoon's group STAYC is focused on preparing for their new album ahead of their comeback in March.
