[Edaily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] Actress Ha Ji-won met with her junior colleague Lee Hye-ri and shared a wide range of topics, from self-care tips to a discussion about “Bi-gwang.”

In an episode of “Hyeol’s Club” released on the 28th, actress Ha Ji-won—ahead of the release of the movie “The Rainmaker”—appeared alongside Lee Hye-ri and showcased fantastic chemistry.
During the episode, Ha Ji-won praised Lee Hye-ri, saying, “Even though this is our first meeting, your energy is incredible. You’re a character I’ve never seen before in my acting career, but you possess that uninhibited charm that I love.”
Ha Ji-won co-starred with Ryu Seung-ryong in the film “Bi-gwang.” “Bi-gwang” is a family chronicle in which Jung-gu (Ryu Seung-ryong), a former baseball player, and national actress Nam-mi (Ha Ji-won) face a marital breakdown after the sudden appearance of Jung-gu’s daughter Dong-ju (Kim Si-ah). Eight years later, they stake everything they have left to uncover the truth and save Dong-ju, who has been caught up in a shocking incident.
Ha Ji-won’s vivid description drew enthusiastic reactions from Ryu Seung-ryong and Hye-ri, who remarked, “You sounded just like a storyteller—please tell us more.”
That day, when Lee Hye-ri asked Ha Ji-won about the secret to her “flawless beauty” that remains unchanged even after all this time, Ha Ji-won revealed her self-care routine. “I stick with anything I try and find effective for a very long time,” Ha Ji-won explained. “The routines I actually follow—like drinking lemon water or stretching—are all things I’ve been doing for over 10 years.”
She went on to share her unique philosophy on stretching, saying, “Stretching is the hardest part of working out. You have to constantly send signals to your body and have a conversation with it, almost like meditating.” In response, Lee Hye-ri suggested a content idea, asking, “Please share Ha Ji-won’s unique stretching method in a YouTube video.”
They also revealed behind-the-scenes stories from their highly talked-about music show performance. In response to Lee Hye-ri’s high praise for her “Run” performance, Ha Ji-won shared, “To be honest, I couldn’t sleep at all from the day the ‘Show! Music Core’ schedule was set. Every time I woke up, I’d practice as a ‘corner dancer’ all through the early morning, trying my best not to forget the choreography,” and added, “Once I finished the performance, I felt such a sense of relief,” drawing laughter with her vivid account.
In addition, under the segment “Today’s TMI,” Ha Ji-won revealed, “I spent two hours ‘talking to my body’ in preparation for filming with Hye-ri.” However, when asked, “How long does it take if you do a short stretching session?” she replied, “15 minutes?”—revealing an extreme time estimate—and kept the set in stitches right up until the end.
The movie “Bi-gwang,” starring Ha Ji-won, opens on the 2nd of next month.
