Rookie actress Lee Han Byul, who starred in Netflix's show "Mask Girl," has shown her face in a fashion magazine.

The magazine Harper's BAZAAR recently shared photos of Lee Han Byul, who played Kim Mo Mi in the Netflix drama "Mask Girl."

In an interview after the photoshoot, Lee Han Byul talked about her feelings. She said, "I'm really nervous because it's my first time doing these things."

She also added, "I'm even more nervous than when I was acting in 'Mask Girl.' I'm worried about making mistakes since I'm not confident in my speaking. Talking about myself and my work is important, so I'm trying my best."

Lee Han Byul explained that she didn't study acting, and it wasn't until her late 20s that she decided to become an actress.

She started by acting in short films. She went through several auditions, and she spent four months auditioning before meeting director Kim Yong Hoon.

When asked why she was chosen for "Mask Girl," she said, "Mo Mi, the character I played, couldn't achieve her dream because of things she couldn't control. So she wears a mask and appears on TV. The director saw a connection between my life and Mo Mi's desires, which is why I was cast."

In the Netflix series "Mask Girl," Lee Han Byul played Kim Mo Mi, a character who wanted to be famous but couldn't because of her appearance insecurities.

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.
