• “Mask Girl” rookie actress Lee Han Byul shoots her first ever magazine spread: “I'm really nervous”

    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.

  • Former S.E.S Shoo brings her twin daughters to a night market and reveals emotional story: “I once sold clothes just to get by”

    Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

    On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

    The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

    Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

    Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

    Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

    Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

    Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
