Will Son Ye Jin take a break from performing to enjoy her married life?

On April 22, Korean media announced that the stunning actress Ha Ji Won is considering playing the female protagonist in the drama "Trees Die on Their Feet."

Kang Ha Neul previously confirmed his participation in the project, while young actor Jung Hae In is considering accepting the invitation.

Notably, the female lead in "Trees Die on Their Feet" was originally slated for Son Ye Jin; does the fact that the production approached Ha Ji Won imply that Son Ye Jin declined the role?

There are many reports that Son Ye Jin turned down this job in order to focus on her marriage and raising a small family with Hyun Bin.

Previously, Hyun Bin confirmed that he would comeback in a lot of films; however, it appears that after returning home, Hyun Bin will be more preoccupied with caring for his "princess."

In terms of acting talent and beauty, Ha Ji Won is on par with Son Ye Jin.

However, when this information was made public, many individuals believed that Ha Ji Won is considerably older than Kang Ha Neul.

The crowd was concerned that their chemistry would be tough.

Comments from Korean viewers:

• Originally, Son Ye Jin is much older than Kang Ha Neul, but now Ha Ji Won is even worse.
• Why can't they cast a female lead who is the same age as the male lead?
• Sorry, Ye Jin fans, but I prefer this pairing. I don't mind the age gap; Kang Ha Neul has worked with many elders in the past, and it appears like Kang Ha Neul and Ha Ji Won would get along well. Please help me to make this cast a reality.
• Finally, while we await Ji Won's return, I hope you will accept the project.
• It appears that Son Ye Jin will be taking a break for a while, which is unfortunate.
• The Queen is back, and I'm hoping it'll be an action series.

"Trees Die on Their Feet" depicts the story of an elderly woman from North Korea who is nearing the end of her life.

Her grandson is a musical actor who is determined to assist her in fulfilling her final request.

In addition to the young actors, Oscar winner Youn Yuh Jung appears in the film.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
