During her guest appearance on SBS Power FM's "Park Ha Sun's Cine Town" radio show to promote her new movie "Target," the actress mentioned an interesting story about her nickname.
From rom-com fantasy K-drama, the actress stars in a thriller-mystery movie with Kim Sung Kyun, as well as Kang Tae Oh and Geum Sae Rok.
