Son Ye Jin plays Lady Cho in Netflix’s The Scandal, premiering September 18. This is her first historical drama in 24 years since Chihwaseon (2002).
In The Scandal, her character will showcase a side that differs from her familiar pure and lovable image. Playing Lady Cho, a Joseon-era woman embarking on a dangerous game of love, she will portray hidden desires and powerful charisma beneath a respectable demeanor.
Meanwhile, Son Ye Jin’s styling at the press conference also captured attention.
She wore a black flared mini dress layered over a subtly sheer black turtleneck. This combination created a look that was both polished and quietly sensual. The turtleneck added a calm and elegant touch, while the delicate sheer fabric provided a subtle accent.
The flared mini dress naturally widened from the waist, revealing her long, slender legs. Her toned figure, maintained through regular exercise, added a healthy sense of sex appeal that contrasted with the sweet silhouette.
Black platform sandals with ankle straps further accentuated her legs. She achieved “a hint of daring beneath her elegance” without looking overly dressed up.
Son Ye Jin’s return to historical drama after 24 years is generating great anticipation as she transforms into a woman who takes control of desire and love.
Her husband, Hyun Bin, will also make his return in Made in Korea, playing Baek Ki-tae, a character driven by ambition. The new season features him as a man who has risen closer to the pinnacle of power, promising a performance filled with weighty charisma.
One is a man pursuing power, while the other is a woman embarking on a dangerous game of love. With the real-life married couple meeting viewers through their respective projects in the same month, September is set to offer extra excitement for global audiences.
