Youn Yuh-jung (Korean: 윤여정; pronounced [junjʌdʑʌŋ]; born June 19, 1947) is a South Korean actress. Youn gained attention on Korean television in the late 1960s and rose to prominence with the film Woman of Fire (1971). She retired in the mid-1970s after marrying and immigrating to the United States. However, she returned to acting in the late 1980s following her divorce.
