Song Ha Yoon, a name that resonates with talent and versatility, has been captivating audiences with her stellar performances in 'Marry My Husband', .

In 2018, she was part of the star-studded cast of 'Perfect Stranger', a remake of the 2016 Italian film of the same name.

The film, which also starred Cho Jin-woong, Kim Ji-soo, Yoo Hae-jin, Yeom Jeong-ah, Lee Seo-jin, and Yoon Kyeong-ho, revolved around a group of friends who decide to share their digital lives, leading to unexpected revelations.

Song Ha Yoon played Se-kyung, the wife of Jun-mo, portrayed by Lee Seo-jin. Se-kyung, a veterinarian with a significant age gap with her husband, was suspected of having an affair, adding a layer of intrigue to the plot.

Fast forward to the present, Song Ha Yoon is making waves for her role as the villainess Jeong Soo-min in the hit series 'Marry My Husband'. Her journey in the industry, however, wasn't always smooth sailing.

Starting her career as a magazine model in high school, she gained popularity as the Pomegranate Girl in 'Beauties Prefer Pomegranates'.

Her youthful looks allowed her to play high school roles well into her mid-20s. But as she turned 28, she found herself at a crossroads, unable to land high school roles.

This led to her decision to change her stage name to Song Ha Yoon, a move that was emotionally challenging for her.

Her first role post-name change was in Kim Eun-hee's 'Ghost', followed by consistent appearances in 'My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol', 'Fight for My Way', and 'Sister is Alive!', where she played the formidable villain Baek Se-ra.

In 'Marry My Husband', Song Ha Yoon's portrayal of Jeong Soo-min, a character obsessed with the lead Kang Ji-won, has been nothing short of brilliant.

Her ability to switch between angelic and devilish personas has left viewers on the edge of their seats.

Her performance, particularly in episode 13, was so intense that it gave viewers goosebumps. To prepare for this role, Song Ha Yoon sought help from psychiatrists and profilers, demonstrating her commitment to her craft.

'Marry My Husband' has been hailed as 'the rediscovery of Song Hayoon' and 'Song Hayun’s life work'. With only two episodes left, fans are eagerly waiting to see how the story unfolds.

Meanwhile, anticipation is building for Song Ha Yoon's next project, 'History of Fools'.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
