Ha Ji-won also shared news about her upcoming ENA drama 'Climax', set to premiere on March 16. She plays the role of 'Choo Sang-ah', an actress struggling with a career slump and yearning to return to the top. Ha Ji-won confessed, "It's the most challenging role I've ever played," expressing concerns about being perceived as herself rather than the character. She added, "The character is sensitive and the opposite of me, so I lost weight for the role," raising anticipation for her transformation.

Ha Ji-won also revealed her fateful journey to becoming an actress. "My original dream was to be an astronaut," she said. "During high school, my homeroom teacher recommended a photo shoot, and the photos caught the eye of an entertainment agency, leading me to an acting career." This story resonated with Kian84, who also transitioned naturally from a cartoonist to a broadcaster.

Finally, Ha Ji-won shared her thoughts on the experience, saying, "Kian84 made me feel so comfortable that it didn't feel like filming at all," and they concluded the day by promising to meet again at a pasta restaurant.
