The story was revealed that actress Ha Ji-won’s appearance dancing while intoxicated was made public despite her agency’s request for it to be edited out.
On Nov. 12, a video was released on the YouTube channel "I'm Ji-won, Class of 2026," operated by Ha Ji-won, in which broadcaster Shin Dong-yeop appeared as a guest and engaged in conversation with Ha.
Shin recalled when Ha appeared on his own YouTube channel ‘Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup’ three years ago and shared behind-the-scenes stories from the filming.
Shin said, “After finishing the first recording, she got quite drunk at the second round and showed shocking dance moves,” adding, “It was so fun, cute, and cool.” However, this scene almost did not get aired. Shin Dong-yup revealed, “When I shared a rough cut with her agency, they requested that it be edited out.”
Shin said he wanted to show Ha’s natural side as it was. He explained, “To me, she looked so cute and sincere,” and said that he contacted Ha directly to propose releasing the footage without editing. It was reported that Ha readily agreed, saying, “If you think that way, oppa (older brother), then let’s do it.” The scene was later released and drew attention from viewers.
Ha also recalled the time, saying, “When I first appeared on ‘Jjahanhyeong’ three years ago, I was in a turbulent period. I was doing painting work and such.”
She added, “Oppa had not seen me for a long time at that time, but he noticed it,” and continued, “He told me that I used to be stiff, but now I look relaxed.” She further stated, “I think that was the first time I showed myself as I am to the public,” expressing her gratitude to Shin Dong-yup.
Meanwhile, Shin also mentioned an anecdote about keeping a promise he had made to officiate comedian Jung Ho-cheol’s wedding, which Ha had requested half in jest and half seriously during her past appearance on ‘Jjahanhyeong’.
He praised her, saying, “Ji-won does not make frivolous remarks without sincerity,” and added, “She tries even harder to keep promises behind the camera.”
