It wouldn't be a complete lie to say that his looks brought him to where he is now. However, looks also tend to set a limit for actors, which is sometimes very hard to surpass. Jo In Sung however, accomplished this.
Jo In Sung first appeared on television through MBC's "New Non-Stop" and became another sitcom-star, following after Song Seung Hun and So Ji Sub. Regardless of the various roles he portrayed in different projects, Jo In Sung remained as a pretty-faced-actor. His acting was insufficient with constant over-acting and needed some serious improvements.
One of his scenes from the drama "What Happened in Bali" is still used for comedy shows today. Previously, highly respected actress Yoon Yeo Jung revealed that she had questioned, "A long time ago we were talking about something when I said, 'that kid, Jo In Sung. Why is he such a bad actor? And why does he spit so much?'" during one of her interviews.
Yoon Yeo Jung's judgment was harsh but true. It is foolish to ignore comments and advice from actors with more experience. As an actor, Jo In Sung had to escape his acting style in order to become a handsome pretty-faced-star with talent.

Regardless of the image threw out, he continues to strive to improve himself as an actor. Actor Jo In Sung is an actor who is constantly growing and maturing with each project he works on.
