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!
