Ha Yun Kyung Opens Up About Her Commitment To Her 'Gangnam B-Side' Role

Ha Yun Kyung is set to take on a bold new role in Disney+’s upcoming crime drama ‘ Gangnam B-Side ’. Known for her bright and endearing characters in Extraordinary Attorney Woo and See You in My 19th Life, this project marks a stark transformation for the actress as she steps into the shoes of Min Seo Jin , a driven prosecutor navigating a high-stakes case.

In ‘Gangnam B-Side’, the plot revolves around a detective, prosecutor, and broker, all racing against time to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of Jae Hee, a club ace. With a stellar cast, including Jo Woo Jin, Ji Chang Wook, and singer BIBI, and helmed by director Park Nu Ri, known for Money, the series promises suspense and intrigue.

Ha Yun Kyung's character, Min Seo Jin, is described as “cold fire,” with ambition burning inside but hidden behind a frosty exterior. This role is a dramatic departure from her previous portrayals, and fans are excited to see her bring a tougher, edgier persona to the screen. In an effort to get into character, Ha Yun Kyung went the extra mile—she met with real prosecutors to understand their work and opted for a makeup-free, minimalist look to reflect her character’s worn-down life.

Interestingly, Min Seo Jin was originally meant to be an older character, but director Park Nu Ri was so eager to work with Ha Yun Kyung that he adjusted the role to fit her. He lauded her dedication, dubbing her a “dialogue genius,” while co-star Jo Woo Jin noted that her seriousness and honesty often made her feel like an older sister on set.

Born in Seoul in 1992, Ha Yun Kyung has built a solid acting career since her debut in the 2014 movie Socialphobia. With standout roles in dramas like Hospital Playlist and She Would Never Know, her evolving range continues to captivate audiences. Her turn as Min Seo Jin in ‘Gangnam B-Side’ will undoubtedly showcase yet another facet of her versatile talent.
