Actress Breaks Long Hiatus—Reveals A Male Celeb Slid Into Her DMs

In 2022, actress Ha Yeon Soo left Korea for Japan after her contract with ANDMARQ came to an end. When her profile was deleted off the internet, retirement rumors ran rampant—which she refuted with a lot of sass.

Since then, Ha remained focused on her acting career overseas. She was also reported to have started painting, pursuing a side career as an artist as well.

Fast forward to 2024, Ha has since broken her long hiatus and returned to the K-Entertainment business with an appearance on Radio Star. In the latest episode of the beloved MBC television program, Ha explained that she is back and “looking for a Korean management to represent [her].”

It feels unreal to be doing a TV show in my native language again after three years… I missed it so much! I had a lot of fun, putting in my best work on set today. Huge thanks to writer Chae Bo Yeon and PD Kim Myung Yeop for all their care and attention. I’ll see you on December 11, Wednesday, at 10:30 PM!

Also, in the same episode, Ha revealed that—back when she was more active in Korea—she received a lot of nudges from male celebrities who wanted to date her. According to Ha, she was pursued 5-6 times, though she wasn’t interested in any of them.

Kim Gu Ra: Of the 5-6 men, were you ever interested in anyone?

Ha Yeon Soo: None. One of them actually reached out to me via DM. He said he wanted to buy my art. He was the only one I responded to because I was really desperate about selling my work.

Yoo Se Yoon: So? Did you sell?

Ha Yeon Soo: No. He just wanted to be “invited” to my studio. He was using my artwork to get in touch with me.

Ha then mentioned a “music video” in which she appeared, where she had “someone pretty popular” approach her.

I can’t name any names, but when I worked on a music video one time. I had someone pretty popular try to get with me…

When Ha hinted that one of her suitors’ name was actually mentioned during the shoot, both the show hosts and the viewers couldn’t help but put their detective skills to work. Speculations have since grown, with some comments under the YouTube video of the episode claiming Zico, whose name was mentioned in the episode, and former BIGBANG member T.O.P, who acted in BIGBANG’s “Let’s Not Fall In Love” music video alongside the actress.
