-Following Interview ②.

The momentum of 'Grand Prize Actor' Eom Ji-won is expected to continue strongly this year. She is about to reveal her upcoming projects one after another.

In particular, she has drawn further attention by previewing a husband-and-wife dynamic with actor Cha Taehyun in her new film 'Reinstated Police Officer'. Eom Ji-won also expressed her anticipation, saying, "Senior Cha Taehyun has presented so many hit works. He is a senior with comfortable and natural acting that is very charming, so I think there will be a synergy effect when we work together."

She further stated about 'Reinstated Police Officer', "It is a family comedy, a comedy like a cartoon. The script itself was so fun that I read it smoothly. It is cheerful, refreshing, and has a twist. It is a well-made work," confidently presenting it.

Moreover, Eom Ji-won will visit viewers this year through the new OTT TVING original 'Proxy CSAT'. She revealed, "'Proxy CSAT' is a thriller about manipulation crimes related to proxy CSAT, just as the title suggests. I received the script for the first five episodes and found it very fun to read. Although it is a school-related drama, I was able to immerse myself in it. The director is Park So-yeon, who made 'Pyramid Game'. I was also a frequent viewer of that work. So, I participated with the expectation and belief that the director would make this work interestingly and well," sparking curiosity.

Additionally, Eom Ji-won warmly looked after her juniors, saying, "'Proxy CSAT' features Bae Hyun-seong, Cha Kang-yoon, Park Yun-ho, and others. They are actors who are doing well now, but I think you will see them doing even better in the future."

Earlier, on the 30th, she also appeared as the final episode guest of the OTT Coupang Play variety show 'SNL Korea Season 8', showcasing a surprising turn of events. Regarding this, Eom Ji-won shared the behind-the-scenes story: "Actually, the production team has been inviting me for four years since previous seasons. Before that, I was not mentally prepared, so I politely declined. I did not feel confident enough to handle high-level sketches. Now, I thought I could do it cheerfully, so I gathered the courage."

Furthermore, Eom Ji-won has secured the role of MC for tvN's new variety show 'Secret Women: Living with the Enemy', which will premiere on June 4. She said, "I recently suffered a serious injury from a bone fracture, so I became more interested in my health. It was a timely opportunity to host a health talk show. Since it is my first time as a talk show MC, I happily accepted. It is even better because I am working with my close friend, senior Park Sun-ju, and Kim Seong-eun."

-End.
