Actress Seol In Ah recently shared her personal battle with insomnia.

On the first episode of tvN's "The Iron Squad of Girls", which aired on September 7, Seol In Ah sat down with fellow actresses Jin Seo Yeon, Uee, and Park Ju Hyun as they prepared for a tough triathlon challenge.

During the episode, Jin Seo Yeon asked Seol In Ah why she chose to take part in the challenge. Seol paused before revealing, "Honestly, I can't sleep. I've been taking sleeping pills for about five years."

She went on to explain, "It really frustrated me. I kept asking myself, 'Why do I need pills just to sleep?' I even thought, 'Am I not tired enough?' So I pushed myself harder, trying to stay busy. That's how I got this image of living a 'perfect life.'"

Seol added, "In reality, I was just moving more, hoping it would help me sleep better. Even though people see me as healthy, I’ve never truly been healthy. I want to use this challenge to get better."

She also shared how it affected her work: "When I take sleeping pills, it's hard to focus on filming. Last year, I tried to stop taking them, but after not sleeping for 3–4 days, my immune system broke down. I ended up at the hospital and now take 24 medications a day. I really want to get healthy again."

The Iron Squad of Girls follows Jin Seo Yeon, Uee, Seol In Ah, and Park Ju Hyun as they take on the extreme triathlon. The show airs every Saturday at 5:50 p.m. on tvN.

Super Junior’s Choi Siwon is taking on a completely new and shocking role in the upcoming film "Lobby"—and he’s already apologizing for it!

On March 4, the production team of "Lobby" held a press conference at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Seoul’s Jayang-dong.

Director Ha Jung Woo attended the event alongside cast members Kim Eui Sung, Kang Hae Lim, Lee Dong Hwi, Park Byung Eun, Kang Mal Geum, Choi Siwon, Cha Joo Young, and Kwak Sun Young.

In "Lobby," Choi Siwon plays Ma Tae Soo, a national actor who gets caught in major scandals and tries to use his money to buy back his lost popularity.

Talking about his character, Choi Siwon shared, “Ma Tae Soo is a romanticist who lives in his own world. He’s like a deer with the suppressed rage of a tiger.” His words left many curious about what kind of performance he would deliver.

He continued, “I did my best to bring director Ha Jung Woo’s vision to life. While acting, I even had moments of self-reflection.” Then, with a smile, he added, “I’m debating whether to invite my parents to the premiere. Since my character is very romantic in love… I apologize in advance.”

Choi Siwon’s character is also the ex-boyfriend of Cha Joo Young’s character, and he had high praise for her acting.

“While working with Cha Joo Young, I was amazed at how great she was at reacting and absorbing the scene. She pays attention to every detail, and I was truly touched by her performance.”

Meanwhile, "Lobby" is set to premiere in theaters on April 2. Fans are already excited to see Choi Siwon in a role unlike any other.
