She made her debut in 1965 as part of TBC 1st open recruitment for dancers after one of her college professors recommended her to the network. She never performed as a dancer as she was immediately selected for a role in the 1966 movie "Attendant Court Lady" (상궁나인으). However, she got pregnant in 1969 and because she was not yet married at the time, it caused a huge controversy among the public. She decided to quit acting and, in 1982, she moved to the United States where she remained for 7 years.
After her return to South Korea, she began acting in many sitcoms and participated as a panelist for many entertainment or social affairs programs. In 2009, she requested her stage name be changed from Sunwoo Yong Nyeo to Sunwoo Yong Yeo.
She is currently a professor in the Acting department at Seoul Hoseo Arts College.
