According to reports, Seo Hyun Jin began filming as an Alzheimer's patient without make-up.

During a press conference following the press preview of the film "Cassiopeia" (director Shin Yeon Sik) held at Megabox COEX in Gangnam-gu, Seoul on May 17th, Seo Hyun Jin revealed that she had worn a bare face for her role as an Alzheimer's patient.

"Acting with my bare face made me very free", said Seo Hyun Jin, who stated, "My condition worsened, and I believed it would be strange if I wore makeup".

"I was able to act much more daringly, and even without makeup, I had the illusion of being still," she said.

"My makeup team unnie saw it and said, 'It's lovely to see you with a bare face,' so I think it was a wise decision," she continued.

On the other hand, the June 1 release of "Cassiopeia" is a special film in which 'Soo Jin' (Seo Hyun Jin), who tried to live a perfect life as a lawyer, mother, and daughter, loses her memory due to Alzheimer's and lives a new life with her father 'In Woo' (Ahn Sung Ki). It is a collaborative effort.

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.
