With this, expectations are high for the actress' transformation. According to her, she focused on perfecting her role to further highlight the themes that appear in the Netflix series.

Jeon So Nee Dishes On Comparisons Against Kim Da Mi

In the same guest appearance, the actress addressed the circulating issue in online communities involving herself and fellow Hallyu star Kim Da Mi.

Since both artists took on challenging works varying from romance to thriller, netizens made a lot of comparisons between the two. In addition to that, they also starred in a film together.

In 2023, Jeon So Nee and Kim Da Mi played best friends in the melodrama "Soulmate," and became real-life BFFs after the film premiered.

With this, Jeon So Nee finds the comparisons absurd, especially since "Parasyte: The Grey" and "The Witch," Kim Da Mi's notable work, are very different despite having the same genre.

"Is it really a huge fight between two actresses?" Jeon So Nee pointed out. However, she made everyone laugh when she joked, "But there's only one Ja Yoon and there's two of us so I win."

The actress made references to Kim Da Mi's character in "The Witch" film series, and her upcoming character Jung Su In who is living as half-human, half-beast in "Parasyte: The Grey."
