Actress Song Ha Yoon recently opened up about why she chose to star in the tvN drama 'Marry My Husband'.

In a recent interview at the King Kong by Starship building in Seoul, she shared her experiences and thoughts about the show, which just wrapped up its final episode.

'Marry My Husband' is a drama about fate and revenge. It follows the story of Kang Ji-won (played by Park Min Young), who discovers her best friend and husband are having an affair.

She then travels back in time 10 years to get her revenge. Song Ha Yoon plays the role of Jeong Soo-min, Kang Ji-won's best friend, who is involved with Kang Ji-won's husband, Park Min-hwan (played by Lee Yi Kyung).

Song Ha Yoon admitted that she had been feeling a bit bored with her acting career. She felt like she was stuck in a rut and was looking for a new challenge. That's when she came across the script for 'Marry My Husband'. She said, "When I read the script, I knew this was the challenge I was looking for."

She also found the concept of the show intriguing, especially the fact that it was based on a webtoon and involved time travel. She thought the character of Jeong Soo-min was a great opportunity for her as an actress and didn't want to miss out on it. She said, "I felt like it was a stroke of luck from the universe."

Song Ha Yoon enjoyed playing Jeong Soo-min because the character was so diverse. She said, "Playing Soo-min made me happy. It's not often you come across characters like this." She also appreciated the challenge of portraying a range of complex emotions, from being cute and pretty to strange, sexy, and jealous.

She confessed that she felt some pressure to step out of her comfort zone to play the villain. She said, "I felt like I had to let go of my old self to bring something new to the table. It was tough because it took a lot of energy."

She even deleted all her photos on Instagram while working on the project. She felt like her old images were holding her back. She said, "I had to let go of everything to fully immerse myself in the role. I didn't want my old images to distract the viewers, so I decided to delete them."

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."
