She is the youngest of three siblings; her older sister, Kim Yeon-jung, is also an actress.

In February 2018, she temporarily paused her career after being diagnosed with thyroid dysfunction.
She solidified her status as an international star with leading roles in the romantic comedies Backstreet Rookie (2020), Lovers of the Red Sky (2021), and My Demon (2023–2024). Her performance in the popular Netflix retro drama 20th Century Girl (2022) earned her the title "Nation's First Love". Her projects include the Netflix comedy Chicken Nugget (2024), the psychological thriller series Dear X (2025), and the 1930s historical spy romance 100 Days of Lies (2026).
