Noh Jung-ui leads tvN's 'I'll Give You the Universe' as drama premieres

Noh Jung-ui is headlining tvN's I'll Give You the Universe, the Wednesday drama that broadcast its first episode on July 4. She plays Woo Hyun-jin in the 2026 series.

She was drawn to the script. That's what pushed her to sign on, she said in a recent photo interview. On July 3—the day before the premiere—she posted beach photos taken with a camera, a low-key moment from the lead herself.

Noh's path here took years. She debuted in 2010 as a child actor in OCN's Quiz from God Season 1, playing the younger version of Hong Ju-hyun. Her adult breakthrough came with That Year We, which earned her the Female Rookie Acting Award at the 2021 SBS Drama Awards; she also contributed the OST track "Island" to that project. From April 3, 2022 to April 2, 2023, she co-hosted SBS Inkigayo alongside Yeon-jun and Seo Beom-jun—a full year on one of the most-watched music stages in the country.

I'll Give You the Universe is her first lead credit on a major cable network.
