Over time, she transitioned from cameo appearances to securing roles in major projects, steadily earning recognition. Let’s take a look at some of her cameos.

Gong Yoo portrays a goblin in Goblin, while Kim Go Eun plays his bride. The series delves into their passionate romance, filled with serious and supernatural obstacles threatening to keep them apart.
Kim Hye Yoon appears in episode 15 of the series, portraying a younger version of an elderly widow. Her character waits for her husband after death at the Grim Reaper's place, where souls are sent off. After waiting for 73 years, she is reunited with her husband, and they return to the bodies they were married in. Kim Hye Yoon delivers a heartfelt performance as she emotionally meets with her husband after 73 years, evoking tears from the audience.
Cleaning Up
A remake of the British television series of the same name, Cleaning Up, tells the story of three cleaners at a securities firm who attempt to forge a new destiny for themselves after accidentally overhearing key information about insider trading. In her first drama role since the hit series SKY Castle, Yum Jung Ah stars as Eo Yong Mi, the trio's leader. Jun So Min and Kim Jae Hwa play the other members of her squad.
Kim Hye Yoon, who memorably played Yum Jung Ah’s daughter in the thriller series SKY Castle, was reunited with her on-screen mother through a special cameo in Cleaning Up. In this series, Kim Hye Yoon played the role of Joo Hyun, a young woman on a job hunt who also frequented the convenience store where Eo Yong Mi, portrayed by Yum Jung Ah, worked.
True Beauty
A delightful crossover unfolded when the beloved cast of Extraordinary You made not one but five of the best K-drama cameos in True Beauty, thanks to their shared director of both shows. Kim Hye Yoon, Lee Jae Wook, Jung Gun Joo, Kim Young Dae, and Lee Tae Ri graced the screen, adding extra excitement.
Kim Hye Yoon appears as her Extraordinary You character, Eun Dan Oh, in True Beauty, where she is seen on a date with Baek Kyung (Lee Jae Wook). Suho (Cha Eun Woo) spots them together, mistaking Dan Oh for Ju Gyeong (Moon Ga Young) with her date. In a reference to Extraordinary You, the iconic page-turning sound is heard as Dan Oh screams "Haruyaa" (referring to Rowoon's character) and runs out, with Baek Kyung following her.
