Jung Dong Jin, known professionally as Jung Eun Woo, was a South Korean actor. He graduated from Songdo High School and later obtained a bachelor's degree in Theater and Film from Dongguk University. Before debuting, he was planning on becoming a basketball player, but injuries derailed his career, and he was forced to switch paths. He was interested in directing but ultimately chose to become an actor. He made his debut in 2006 (under his real name) with a role in the KBS drama "Sharp Season 3". He quickly gained attention from the public, but his agency at the time faced financial problems, and he went on hiatus. He was critically acclaimed in the drama "One Well-Raised Daughter" as his character goes through three transformations. He was set to enlist in the military at the end of 2013, but suffered an injury that caused nerve damage and had to be re-assessed. He finally enlisted as a civil servant on March 7, 2016, and was discharged on March 6, 2018. He went on to appear in several dramas, with his last credited role being in 2021. On February 11, 2026, the sudden news of his passing at the age of 39 was reported. The exact cause of death was not revealed per the family's request, but police did not suspect any foul play. The funeral was held at the New Goryeo Hospital Funeral Hall in Gimpo. He was laid to rest at Byeokje Crematorium two days later.
