Kim Hee-sun Shines in 'No Next Life' as She Revives Her Show Host Persona

Kim Hee-sun is stepping back into the spotlight, ready to showcase her 'original sold-out queen DNA' in full force.

In the third episode of TV CHOSUN's Monday-Tuesday mini-series 'No Next Life,' Kim Hee-sun (playing the role of Jo Na-jung) revisits her professional prowess from her days as a 'million-dollar salary show host.' The kindergarten flea market becomes the stage where her hidden talents are awakened.

In the released stills, Kim Hee-sun is seen confidently heading somewhere with a red basin tucked under her arm, and smiling brightly while holding a scrubber with pink rubber gloves on. This scene depicts Na-jung helping sell handmade scrubbers made by her friend's daughter from the same apartment complex. As she stands at the sales booth, Kim Hee-sun transforms with sparkling eyes and vivid expressions, evoking the vibe of 'Jo Na-jung, the million-dollar salary show host who once made 40 million won per minute,' piquing interest.

In the previous episode, Na-jung achieved a second-round success in a re-employment program for career-break moms, despite her husband's opposition, rivalry with an old classmate, and disregard from a former colleague. Kim Hee-sun, who has experienced a six-year hiatus as an actress, authentically portrays Na-jung's complex emotions of frustration, courage, and sorrow, as well as her witty everyday acting, enhancing the drama's immersion.

In the episode airing on the 17th, Kim Hee-sun is expected to vividly depict Na-jung's journey of rediscovering her abilities and regaining confidence through a small success at the flea market. Anticipation builds for the performance Kim Hee-sun will deliver.
