Yeom Hye-ran Jokes About Changing Her Name as a Box Office Pledge for 'Mad Dance Office'

Yeom Hye-ran has humorously pledged to change her name as a box office promise, following director Jang Hang-jun's lead.

On the October 5th broadcast of MBC FM4U's 'Noon Song of Hope with Kim Shin-young' (hereafter referred to as 'Noon Song'), Yeom Hye-ran and Choi Sung-eun, stars of the movie 'Mad Dance Office,' appeared as guests.

DJ Kim Shin-young asked about her mental health management. Yeom Hye-ran admitted, "I can't manage my mental health well, which makes it hard for my family. They whisper, 'Let's just endure it,' 'The filming must be almost over,' and they bear with it. I'm not good at managing it, so it makes those close to me uncomfortable," she said, feeling embarrassed. She continued, "If things really aren't going well, I say, 'Let's talk after a nap.' After a nap, I feel a bit calmer. That's how I manage," she revealed. She also confessed, "I can't manage my mental health. I'm completely fragile."

Kim Shin-young joked, "You're like a sunfish, a fragile sister," to which Yeom Hye-ran responded, "Yeom Bok-chi sounds good," agreeing with a laugh. She added, "The other day, someone said, 'If it surpasses a million, change your name as a pledge.' Isn't name-changing a trend? I was thinking about what to change it to, and 'Yeom Bok-chi' sounds good," she laughed.

Director Jang Hang-jun had previously pledged to change his name, undergo plastic surgery, and naturalize as a citizen as a ten-million-viewer promise for the movie 'The King and the Clown.' However, when the movie actually reached ten million viewers, he revised his pledge. Instead of fulfilling the original promises, Director Jang held a coffee truck event.
