By the late 1960s, Youn was a rising star in South Korea and won several awards for her role in Woman of Fire (1971). She retired from the spotlight for several years before returning to acting in the late 1980s. Besides Woman of Fire and Minari, Youn is known for her work in the South Korean films The Housemaid (2010), The Taste of Money (2012), The Bacchus Lady (2016), and Canola (2016). She is also known for her matriarch roles in the South Korean family drama series Men of the Bath House (1995), Be Strong, Geum-soon! (2005), Daughters-in-Law (2007), My Husband Got a Family (2012), and Dear My Friends (2016). In 2022, she appeared in the period drama Pachinko on Apple TV+.
Early life
Youn Yuh-jung was born on June 19, 1947, in Kaesong, southern Korea. She is the eldest daughter of a family with three daughters. Her father died when she was young. The family fled the city during the first and fourth retreat of the Korean War. She attended Changsin Elementary School and later Ewha Girls' High School in Seoul, South Korea.{{cite web|url=https://www.ddanzi.com/ddanziNews/598670|script-title=ko:배우, 윤여정을 만나다(1)|date=2005-05-09|publisher=딴지일보|language=ko|access-date=2021-04-27|archive-date=2021-04-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210427091717/https://www.ddanzi.com/ddanziNews/598670|url-status=live}}{{Unreliable source?|reason=See unreliable sources list on WP:KO/RS|date=November 2024}} She graduated from high school in 1966.

Career
After dropping out of college, Youn made her acting debut in the television drama Mister Gom in 1967.{{cite web|url=http://www.kmdb.or.kr/actor/mm_basic.asp?person_id=00006630|script-title=ko:윤여정|trans-title=Yoon Yeo-jeong|website=Korean Movie Database|access-date=2010-02-09|language=ko|archive-date=2018-06-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180628204955/http://www.kmdb.or.kr/actor/mm_basic.asp?person_id=00006630|url-status=live}} Youn shot to stardom in 1971 with two memorable portrayals of femme fatales.

This was followed by the MBC historical drama Jang Hui-bin where she played the titular infamous royal concubine. Kim was considered Korea's first style-conscious, experimental director, and Youn did not balk in playing risque, provocative characters that explore the grotesque in the female psyche in collaborations with him such as The Insect Woman (1972) and Be a Wicked Woman (1990).{{cite web|title=Youn Yuh-jung|url=https://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/eng/films/index/peopleView.jsp?peopleCd=10054391|website=Korean Film Biz Zone|access-date=2021-04-27|archive-date=2021-04-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210427093057/https://www.koreanfilm.or.kr/eng/films/index/peopleView.jsp?peopleCd=10054391|url-status=live}} Audiences found Youn's fast way of speaking and atypical appearance refreshing and she frequently took roles in TV dramas depicting a modern woman of the new generation, notably in Stepmother (1972) written by Kim Soo-hyun.
At the peak of her career, Youn retired after she married singer Jo Young-nam in 1974, then immigrated to the United States. In 1984, she returned to Korea and permanently resumed her acting career. She and Jo divorced in 1987 and struggled to resume her acting career due to the stigma of divorce in South Korea.{{cite web|script-title=ko:1970년대 '충무로 누벨 바그' 윤여정|url=http://shindonga.donga.com/docs/magazine/shin/2004/01/29/200401290500028/200401290500028_1.html|website=The Dong-A Ilbo|date=29 January 2004|access-date=2010-02-09|language=ko|archive-date=2011-07-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717175338/http://shindonga.donga.com/docs/magazine/shin/2004/01/29/200401290500028/200401290500028_1.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite news|date=April 26, 2021|title=Nonconformist Youn Yuh-jung: S.

Making a comeback after taking a long break was an unusual feat for a Korean middle-aged actress. Although most actresses her age played clichéd self-sacrificing mothers or coarse ajummas, Youn's acting range led to her being cast in more complex, stylish, and independent roles. In A Good Lawyer's Wife (2003), she drew critical acclaim for her nonchalant acting as a mother-in-law who neglected her husband dying of liver cancer and enjoyed extramarital affairs. Her frank and confident persona again manifested itself in E J-yong's mockumentary Actresses (2009).{{cite web|last=Beck|first=Una|title=Interview: Yoon Yeo-jung - Part 1|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009121120025574540|work=10Asia|access-date=2012-12-19|date=11 December 2009|archive-date=2015-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416011829/http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009121120025574540|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Beck|first=Una|title=Interview: Yoon Yeo-jung - Part 2|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009121120023170740|work=10Asia|access-date=2012-12-19|date=11 December 2009|archive-date=2015-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416011500/http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009121120023170740|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Beck|first=Una|title=Interview: Yoon Yeo-jung - Part 3|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009121119102717453|work=10Asia|access-date=2012-12-19|date=11 December 2009|archive-date=2015-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416012659/http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2009121119102717453|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Beck|first=Una|title=Yoon Yeo-jung's Movie Picks|url=http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010060716030160626|work=10Asia|access-date=2012-12-19|date=7 June 2010|archive-date=2015-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416012119/http://www.asiae.co.kr/news/view.htm?idxno=2010060716030160626|url-status=live}}
Youn continued playing supporting roles in film and television, such as in The Housemaid (2010). She reunited with director Im Sang-soo for the fourth time in The Taste of Money (2012), as a cruel chaebol heiress at the center of the drama that unfolds and touches upon the themes of corruption, greed and sex. Youn said "I don't mind being called an old actress, but I do worry about how to carry on my acting career without looking like an old fool."{{cite web|last1=Kim|first1=Hyo-eun|last2=Cho|first2=Jae-eun|title=At 64, Yoon Yeo-jeong won't let age get in the way of a sex scene|url=http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=2953041|website=Korea JoongAng Daily|access-date=2012-11-20|date=17 May 2012|archive-date=2014-11-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141118063933/http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/Article.aspx?aid=2953041|url-status=live}}
