Comedian Heo Anna Opens Up About Challenging Times and Future Prospects

Comedian Heo Anna recently shared her struggles during difficult times.

On the October 28th episode of SBS's variety show 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny,' Heo Anna and her husband Oh Kyung-joo met with shaman Yoon Dae-man, who won the Disney+ variety show 'Fate War 49.'

During the episode, Yoon Dae-man asked Heo Anna, "Your family has a history of praying a lot. The energy from your grandmothers is strong. Did someone come from North Korea?" Heo Anna responded, "My paternal grandfather came from Hwanghae Province in North Korea. Even my husband doesn't know this," showing her surprise.

Yoon Dae-man continued, "For the past 3-4 years, you've been going through a rough patch, and many things haven't worked out. You appear bright, but you've had many moments of crying alone." Heo Anna nodded in agreement, saying, "I've lost a few opportunities." Yoon Dae-man advised, "It's time for a fresh start. Your energy is shifting. Things look promising around July and August."

Heo Anna revealed, "I'm preparing for acting roles, but I'm not getting any callbacks despite sending out my audition profiles." Yoon Dae-man reassured her, "Around September, you'll get a chance in the drama field. Someone will reach out to you. I think you'll do well. Don't change your image too much."

Meanwhile, Heo Anna previously expressed her emotional distress after losing job opportunities due to the cancellation of the variety show 'I'm Excited Too,' which was affected by Park Na-rae's controversy and hiatus in late 2025.
