On the 23rd, an online production presentation for KBS 2TV's new daily drama 'Red Pearl' was held. The event was attended by actors Park Jin-hee, Nam Sang-ji, Choi Jae-sung, Kim Hee-jung, Kim Kyung-bo, Kang Da-bin, Chun Hee-joo, and director Kim Sung-geun.
'Red Pearl' is a gripping and intense revenge chronicle about two women, Kim Dan-hee (played by Park Jin-hee) and Baek Jin-joo (played by Nam Sang-ji), who return with false identities to uncover the hidden sins and truths within the Adel family.
Kim Hee-jung takes on the role of Oh Jung-ran, the wife of Park Tae-ho (played by Choi Jae-sung) and the director of the Adel Gallery. She explained her choice of the role by saying, "I was drawn to the offer of playing a villain after a long time. It seemed like an opportunity for a transformation in my acting career."
When asked what kind of label she hopes to gain from this project, she replied, "I want to be known as a 'wife' rather than a 'mistress'." Kim Hee-jung added, "People often associate me with the image of a mistress or an adulteress. However, in 'Red Pearl', I play the role of the legitimate wife. I hope for a lot of interest," she said with a smile.
'Red Pearl' premieres on the 23rd at 7:50 PM.
