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."

NewJeans' Minji touched fans' hearts with a handwritten letter on her birthday — even while the group is currently unable to promote due to legal issues.

On May 7, Minji celebrated her birthday by sharing a heartfelt message on the group’s personal SNS account, which the members opened themselves to stay connected with fans.

Minji began her letter with honesty, writing, “I think I’m living a busier life than I expected. When I finally looked up, it was already May, and it was my birthday.”

She admitted that she had a lot she wanted to say, but her thoughts felt “messy.” Still, her message to fans was clear, “I just hope that I, our members, and Bunnies can all be happy. Happiness is the biggest goal in my life.”

Minji then opened up about her personal journey and struggles, saying, “I sometimes think that running toward my happiness by doing what I love might look foolish to others. But isn’t giving up your happiness now for the sake of a future that might not even come… too harsh on yourself?”

Despite everything, she ended on a hopeful note, “I really miss the times when we shared our feelings through the good music we made together. But I always look forward to what’s ahead."

She added, "We didn’t stop here, and we’re not going to stop! It might look like we’re standing still, but I believe we’re growing deeper.”

Her message comes during a difficult time for NewJeans. The group announced last year that they were cutting ties with ADOR, their original agency, after trust was broken. They later began working independently under the new name ‘NJZ’.

However, ADOR responded with legal action — claiming the exclusive contract with NewJeans was still valid and asking the court to stop the group from promoting or signing deals.

The court sided with ADOR and granted an injunction, forcing NewJeans to pause their activities. Their appeal was rejected, and they’ve now filed a second appeal.

Through it all, Minji’s message proves one thing — even when forced to stop, NewJeans' hearts are still moving forward.
