Actress Won Ji An opened up about her role in Squid Game 2 and what it was like working alongside former BIGBANG member T.O.P!

On February 21, Harper’s Bazaar Korea unveiled a stunning photoshoot of Won Ji An for its March issue. The pictorial captured her natural beauty, showing off her effortlessly pure and chic visuals.

In the interview, Won Ji An shared her thoughts on Squid Game 2, where she plays the role of Semi, a member of Thanos’ (T.O.P) team. Even though her screen time isn’t long, she was surprised by the attention her character and Thanos’ team have received.

“I’m fascinated and grateful that people are interested in Semi and Thanos’ group,” she shared. “Semi isn’t someone who only thinks about herself, and that drew me to her. The hardest part was figuring out her relationship with Minsu (played by Lee David). I kept wondering—does she see him as a younger brother or a friend? How does she relate to him? I explored those questions while acting.”

When asked how she manages to pull off such cool and indifferent expressions, she laughed and said, “I don’t need to prepare anything special. Just watching No Jae Won sunbae (senior actor) perform makes me react that way naturally. Isn’t Namkyu (his character) just so irritating?”

Between projects, Won Ji An has picked up a surprising new hobby—playing the electric guitar!

“I started learning last year, but I’m still a beginner,” she admitted. “Once I like something, I stick with it, so I plan to keep practicing. My goal is to get good enough to create music with my close friends and play freely.”

She’s also gearing up for her next big role in Made in Korea, a drama directed by Inside Men director Woo Min Ho. She will take on the role of a lobbyist named Choi Yoo Ji, marking a major transformation in her acting career.

“I’ve been studying Japanese diligently for the role,” she revealed. “The chance to work in a different language really excited me. The director told me he had me in mind for this role, so I’m doing my best to prepare.”

With Squid Game 2 and Made in Korea on the way, fans can’t wait to see Won Ji An’s next moves.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
