Han Ye Seul Shares Excitement For Taking On A New Kind Of Character In "Big Issue"

Han Ye Seul is making a small screen comeback in “Big Issue,” and the actress talked about her character and her excitement to do something she’s never done before.

The SBS drama is about a former photographer named Han Suk Joo (Joo Jin Mo), who’s hit rock bottom due to one photo and a heartless editor-in-chief named Ji Soo Hyun (Han Ye Seul), who brings him into the world of the paparazzi.

Ji Soo Hyun is the editor-in-chief of the nation’s most notorious entertainment scandal newspaper. She is a cold, tough character who captures scandals with amazing personal connections and powerful intelligence. She reigns as a powerful woman in the paparazzi world, has neither blood nor tears, and is more like a celebrity than celebrities themselves. In this regard, Han Ye Seul expressed her overwhelming sense of being deeply fascinated by her new role, which is different from all others she has taken on so far.

The actress shared her reason for shedding her romantic comedy image and transforming into a powerful woman with an evil reputation for her latest project. She said, “Rather than being afraid, I’m very excited to meet a different character, and I thought this would be a chance to grow as an actress. I have greater expectations because I can show a new look. I’m looking forward to seeing how the viewers will see it.”

Han Ye Seul further explained her character, saying, “Ji Soo Hyun seems like [someone who] sniffs out celebrity scandals, but she is actually a refreshing character who punishes those who use their position and strength to commit evil. The fact that she is a character who relieves the public’s frustration was the biggest draw for me.”

She also mentioned Ji Soo Hyun’s trendy fashion and said, “I’m making an effort to create a luxurious and glamorous vibe. I’m trying to show her charisma and sexiness by wearing various things, such as bold colors, suits, and dresses.”

In addition, Han Ye Seul talked about what her character needs to maintain her powerful position: “The most important thing is to be bold enough to seize opportunities when they come. She must have a coolness that never shakes at any moment and the adaptability to deal with emergency situations.”

She continued, “Ji Soo Hyun looks cold on the outside, but she’s actually a warm person. She is a cold-hearted person who doesn’t express her feelings very well, but she is very honest with her emotions.”

The production crew stated, “In order to play the character Ji Soo Hyun, Han Ye Seul is thoroughly preparing for the role, not only with regard to the character’s professional career, but also for her personality and unique fashion sense. Please look forward to what the editor-in-chief Ji Soo Hyun with Han Ye Seul’s overflowing charisma will look like.”
