Lee Joo-bin's journey in the entertainment industry is a story of perseverance and breakthrough. Starting her career in 2008 in a music video for SS501, she initially struggled as a girl group trainee without a formal debut. Over the years, she shifted her focus to acting in 2017, beginning with small roles in advertisements and music videos. Despite not gaining immediate fame, Lee Joo-bin's persistence paid off as she gradually made her mark with roles in dramas like "Mr. Sunshine" and "Melo Is My Nature," though it wasn't until her performance in the tvN weekend drama "Queen of Tears" that she truly stood out.
In "Queen of Tears," Lee Joo-bin portrayed Chae Da-hye, a supportive wife to her husband Hong Soo-chul (played by Kwak Dong-yeon), who shows her complex duality when left alone, impressing viewers with her capability to navigate contrasting emotions smoothly.
