Actor Ha Ji-won candidly recalled being sexually harassed at a club in Seoul's Hongdae area, revealing that someone groped her as soon as she walked in. She shared the story in a teaser released Dec. 8 for the web variety show Jjanhan-hyung.
The teaser featured Kim Sung-ryoung, Jang Young-ran, and Ha Ji-won swapping behind-the-scenes stories from the JTBC variety show Dangilbaesong Uri Jip. When Kim asked, "Can we really say this?" host Shin Dong-yup broke the ice with his trademark banter, and Jang's over-the-top reenactment had the set in stitches.
Amid the laughs, Ha brought up an old episode where she had to fill in onstage for singer Wax. "They told me I had to learn the wave, so I went to a club in Hongdae. I was all excited at first, but the moment I walked in, someone grabbed my butt," she recalled. Caught off guard by the confession, Shin quipped, "I think I've heard this before. Didn't that turn you into a total club rat?"
The trio will appear on Dangilbaesong Uri Jip, a variety show built around a mobile house that delivers viewers' dream spaces in a single day. The program is set to premiere Dec. 16 on JTBC.
