Actor Heo Yi-jae shared her recent status with a face that has changed beyond recognition.

On the 2nd, a video titled ‘Thank you for really appearing’ was released on the YouTube channel ‘Byeongjin Leehyung’ run by actor Ji Dae-han.

Ji Dae-han revealed a meeting with the actors who appeared in the movie ‘Sunflower’, which was re-released on the 28th of last month. The main cast of ‘Sunflower’, including Ji Dae-han, Kim Rae-won, Kim Hae-sook, Heo Yi-jae, Kim Byung-wook, Han Jeong-soo, Park Chul-ho, and Lee Ho-sung, attended the re-release commemorative stage greeting held at CGV Yeonam on the 30th of last month.

The 2006 film ‘Sunflower’ has been talked about for a long time, and its famous lines have been reproduced as memes (internet terms) and have become a hot topic, which led to its re-release.

The director and actors happily greeted each other and shared their recent activities, sharing their joy at being reunited after 18 years. Meanwhile, Kim Hae-sook said to Heo Yi-jae, who played the role of Choi Hee-joo, the daughter, “Oh my, you (Heo) Yi-jae? Oh my, Yi-jae. Heo Yi-jae said, “I thought it wasn‘t you,” and hugged Heo Yi-jae tightly. In the video, Heo Yi-jae caught everyone’s attention with her face that had changed so much that she was unrecognizable.

Meanwhile, Heo Yi-jae, who left the entertainment industry after getting married in 2011, declared her comeback after her divorce in 2015, but completely stopped her acting career around 2021. At the time, she appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Wayland’ run by Crayon Pop member Way and said, “A married actor who is currently active was the decisive factor in my retirement.” She claimed that an actor who was appearing in a work at the time verbally abused her and demanded sex on the set. As the controversy grew, Heo Yi-jae posted a comment on YouTube on the 11th saying, “Please refrain from witch hunting,” but added, “As a junior, I have never done anything rude.”
