Kim So Jeong takes on the role of Jeong Se-ri, a part-time cafe student who has the ability to see ghosts due to a special incident. Jeong Se-ri is a person who lives a difficult life as much as she has special abilities, but does not lose her bright side.

As Kim So-jung is her first acting debut in 'Chilling Rommate', she has a special affection for her work and character, and is working hard to prepare for filming. In particular, it is rumored that she was completely immersed in the role of Jeong Se-ri in the recent script reading scene.

'Chilling Rommate' will be released as a drama version on various OTT platforms and YouTube channels after the theatrical release in the first half of 2022.
