Son Ji Na, known for playing Yeon Jin's mother in The Glory, shared why she chooses not to dye her hair on the latest episode of KBS JOY’s Ask Anything.

On November 18, Son Ji Na (54) and actor Ji Dae Han (56) appeared on the show, where they expressed their concerns about only getting villain roles in their acting careers.

Ji Dae Han began by sharing his struggles, saying, "I've been in films for about 30 years. I've played everything from minor roles to supporting characters, but I’ve never been cast in a good guy role. I’ve been the corrupt cop, not the nice one. "

She added, "We’re not really that bad, though. I’ve been told I have a kind face. I’m great at comedy and even want to try romance roles, but no one offers them to me. Do I have to keep playing gangsters with this face?"

During the conversation, host Lee Soo Geun commented on Son Ji Na’s role as Yeon Jin’s mother in The Glory, saying, "You came across as very strong in that role, but in person, you’re so gentle."

Son Ji Na was then asked by fellow host Seo Jang Hoon whether she dyes her hair, to which she replied, “It’s natural hair.” She explained her decision not to dye it, saying, “I’ve dyed my hair when needed, but my skin is sensitive, and it becomes irritated when I do. My scalp gets sore and itchy for a month, so I decided to embrace my white hair instead.”

Later in the episode, Ji Dae Han mentioned that since no one would cast him in a romance role, he decided to produce his own film. He promoted the film Howchi, where he starred alongside Son Ji Na in a romance role. The movie was released on November 13.

Fans of Son Ji Na and Ji Dae Han are excited to see them take on new roles, including the romance genre they’ve long desired!

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
