Career
In 2010, Ahn enrolled at the Korea National University of Arts. She debuted in 2012 in the musical The Sorrows of Young Werther.{{Cite web|title=≪백뉴스≫ 뮤지컬 배우 안은진, 무대를 넘어 브라운관으로...이매진아시아와 전속 계약 체결|url=https://www.100news.kr/1175|website=백뉴스|date=April 10, 2018|access-date=December 31, 2023|archive-date=March 5, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240305165836/http://www.100news.kr/1175|url-status=live}} In 2015, while she was still in college, Ahn performed in a play directed by her professor Lee Sang-woo, titled The Story of Tail Cotton, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Chaimu Troupe. Ahn believed her performance was lacking at the time, but fellow actor Lee Joong-ok reassured her years later, saying that she had done well. Following their discussion, Ahn said she realized that the performance had marked a turning point in her career as she was able to overcome the difficulties despite being disappointed with her work.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:배우 안은진, 극단 차이무의 20주년 기념 공연 '꼬리솜이야기' 캐스팅|url=https://www.newsculture.press/news/articleView.html?idxno=48776|website=뉴스컬처 (NEWSCULTURE)|language=ko|date=November 6, 2015|access-date=December 11, 2023|archive-date=December 11, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231211023932/https://www.newsculture.press/news/articleView.html?idxno=48776|url-status=live}}
In 2015, Ahn also appeared in director Park Hee-soon's musical production Infinite Energy, focused on a group of young people gathered in the boarding house of an eccentric inventor to create an infinite energy device. Ahn made her debut in the role of Kim Sol on September 4, 2015, and her performance received positive reviews, praising her versatile acting, comedic scenes, and her clear vocals. The musical ran until January 3, 2016, at Daehangno TOM 1 Theater.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:안은진, 뮤지컬 '무한동력' 4차원 캐릭터 매력 발산 [스포츠투데이]|url=http://stoo.com/article.php?aid=18755627938|website=stoo|language=ko|access-date=December 31, 2023|archive-date=December 31, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231231070733/http://stoo.com/article.php?aid=18755627938|url-status=live}}
In April 2018, Imagine Asia announced that Ahn had signed an exclusive contract with the agency. In August 2019, Ahn signed an exclusive contract with Big Boss Entertainment.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:[공식] '타인은 지옥이다' 안은진, 빅보스엔터테인먼트와 전속계약 체결|url=https://www.sedaily.com/NewsView/1VN58RI5O5/GL0101|website=The Seoul Economic Daily|language=ko|date=August 28, 2019|access-date=December 31, 2023|archive-date=December 31, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231231032835/https://www.sedaily.com/NewsView/1VN58RI5O5/GL0101|url-status=live}} Ahn auditioned for an unspecified role in a new medical drama by writer Lee Woo-jung and director Shin Won-ho. Months later, Ahn was asked to audition again and subsequently cast in the role of Chu Min-ha. Ahn said she felt lucky to be considered for the role at the last minute, having lost hope to get it after waiting such a long time. In August 2021, Ahn Eun-jin signed an exclusive contract with United Artist Agency (UAA).
