Actress Kim Sae Ron is making a comeback to the theater, following a two-year hiatus due to a drunk driving controversy.

Kim Sae Ron is set to star in the play 'Dongchimi', scheduled to run from May 3rd to 12th at the CTS Art Hall in Seoul.

'Dongchimi' is a heartwarming story about a family of five, including a straightforward but family-loving father, a selfless mother, and three siblings who may bicker but are deeply devoted to their parents.

Kim Sae Ron will be playing the role of the youngest daughter, Jung Yeon, and is expected to perform six times.

Kim Sae Ron's return to acting comes nearly three years after her last appearance in the 2021 drama special 'The Palace'.

She was also part of the Netflix series 'Bloodhounds' released in June last year, but most of her scenes were edited out due to the drunk driving incident.

Netizens have shared mixed reactions to her comeback:

"I'm struggling to understand her motive, as her acting doesn't seem to overshadow her controversy."

"She must have some strong connections."

"This is the quickest comeback from DUI charges I've ever seen."

"This could be her reward for keeping quiet about that photo with Kim Soo Hyun."

"I'm not against her making a fresh start, but I'm not entirely convinced."

"Now I'm starting to believe the rumors about her dating KSH. She posted a picture of them together and now she's landed a lead role in a drama. Was the picture a veiled threat?"

"A fresh start means a new approach, a new mindset, and a deeper appreciation for what was lost… I hope she has truly changed for the better, both as a person and as an actor."

Singer Hong Jin Young is making headlines for her latest TV appearance, where fans noticed her slightly different look!

After previously admitting to multiple plastic surgeries, she returned to the spotlight with a more mature and refined vibe.

On the January 28 episode of SBS’s Dolsing Fourmen, the show featured a special K-Trot Grand Festival episode with guests Jin Sung, Hong Jin Young, Park Ji Hyun, and Yoyomi.

But what caught viewers’ attention the most was Hong Jin Young’s transformed appearance! Known for her cute and sexy charm in the past, she now exudes a more sophisticated aura.

Hong Jin Young has never been shy about discussing her plastic surgery history. On MBC’s Radio Star, she openly revealed that she had undergone two nose surgeries, double eyelid surgery, Botox, and dental laminates.

With her experience in cosmetic procedures, she naturally took on the role of a plastic surgery expert during Dolsing Fourmen!

Lee Sang Min playfully mentioned, “I heard you’re just as good at estimating plastic surgery costs as you are at singing.”

Hong Jin Young laughed and admitted, “Well, I do have some experience. Since I’ve been in the industry for a while, I have a trained eye for this.”

The fun continued as Kim Jun Ho asked her to evaluate possible procedures for Lee Sang Min and Lim Won Hee. Hong Jin Young confidently shared her insights, saying, “If someone has a unique face, it’s best not to touch it. But if anything, I’d suggest lifting treatments.”

She then grabbed Lim Won Hee’s cheek and pointed out, “If you want to look kinder, this area needs to go. These ‘bulldog cheeks’ can be reduced with injections.”

She went on to explain, “You get fat-dissolving injections on both sides, and instead of making big incisions on the forehead, small cuts along the hairline can lift it naturally. Combine that with Botox, and it works wonders.”

As for Lee Sang Min, she suggested, “To achieve a younger look, hair implants would help a lot. A receding hairline makes you look older, so filling it in is a good trick.”

Aside from her surprising knowledge in beauty treatments, Hong Jin Young also shared a fun story about her flirting skills! She confessed that she once had a some (flirty relationship) with a celebrity.

She recalled, “That person asked for my number, saying they were curious about something. Later, they contacted me, and I answered sincerely. They were so grateful that they offered to buy me a meal, so I jokingly asked them to bring me something delicious on the day of my music video shoot.”

She continued, “Before a music video shoot, I go through beauty treatments, so that’s when I look my best. I wanted to show them that side of me.”

She added with a smile, “That person actually brought chicken for me on set. Since I was busy filming, they got to see me as a hardworking woman. After that, we started flirting.” Her story had everyone laughing on set!

With her bold personality and honest confessions, Hong Jin Young once again proved why she’s one of the most entertaining stars in K-entertainment!
