Actress Kim Ji-won shared her thoughts on returning to television after two years and explained why she transformed into a short hairstyle.

On the afternoon of the 7th, a production press conference for SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama "Doctor X: The Age of the White Mafia" (hereinafter referred to as "Doctor X") was held at SBS in Mokdong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. Director Lee Jung-rim and actors Kim Ji-won, Lee Jeong-eun, Son Hyun-joo, and Kim Woo-seok attended the event.

"Doctor X" is a drama depicting the activities of "Doctor X" Gye Su-jeong, who shatters massive injustices with her genius surgical skills that know no failure or compromise. The series is based on the Japanese drama "Doctor X," which aired on TV Asahi.

Kim Ji-won, who is returning to the small screen after two years since starring in the tvN drama "Queen of Tears" in 2024, expressed her feelings about her return by saying, "It has been a long time since I last greeted you, so my hands are trembling, and I feel both excited and nervous. During my hiatus, I prepared and thought about what kind of image to show you while waiting."

She added, "I have really enjoyed watching the director's previous works, and first of all, I wanted to try working with him based on trust. Also, as I heard the names of the people I would be acting with, I felt truly reassured. Personally, I had ambitions, but I thought that working with such excellent senior actors would be a great opportunity to learn a lot, so I pursued it."

Additionally, regarding her decision to sport short hair again after the KBS 2TV drama "Descendants of the Sun" aired in 2016, Kim Ji-won explained, "I tried a rough short hairstyle to better express the character. In 'Queen of Tears,' I showed off glamorous fashion, but this time, I wanted to strip away that glamour as much as possible."

Meanwhile, "Doctor X" will air its first episode at 9:50 p.m. on the 9th.
