In "Little Women," her character Oh In Kyung is a fearless journalist who wants justice to prevail after exposing the illegal activities of Seoul's mayoral candidate Park Jae Sang by digging into his corruption.

Nam Ji Hyun described her character as someone who is easily swayed by her emotions and "goes straight ahead without any fear to her goal."

Immersed with her character, she revealed that she once asked a reporter what it's like to be in their shoes and do their job.

In the tvN series, "Little Women" depicts the story of three sisters who lived in poverty and got caught up in a huge incident involving an influential family.
