Hong Suzu stuns fans as 'Pond Ghost' in 'Good Bye My Princess'

Actress Hong Suzu, who left a powerful impression as the 'Pond Ghost' in the Netflix original series 'Good Bye My Princess', is drawing significant attention as her identity is revealed. Having left a strong impression on viewers with her eerie atmosphere and chilling visuals, she has revealed a surprising charm, completely different from her character, by sharing behind-the-scenes photos from the set.

On the 21st, Hong posted several behind-the-scenes photos taken at the filming site of 'Good Bye My Princess' on her social media (SNS).

The released photos include shots of her exuding an elegant atmosphere in her costume as Court Lady Seung-eun, as well as shots of her staring into the camera while wearing special effects makeup. Despite the eerie ghost makeup, her distinct features and unique aura were clearly visible, capturing everyone's attention.

Hong played the role of Court Lady Seung-eun in 'Good Bye My Princess', leaving the most intense presence in the early stages of the work.

In the drama, Court Lady Seung-eun is a palace maid who unfairly loses her life after incurring the wrath of the Queen Dowager (Jang Young-nam), and she later appears as the true identity of the 'Pond Ghost' that plunges the royal family into terror. As a key character who serves as the starting point for the consecutive deaths of the crown princes and the curse covering the royal palace, she has been evaluated as leaving a strong impression despite her brief appearance.

In particular, because of the ghost special effects makeup and the gloomy directing, viewers who could not recognize the actress's face are expressing surprise after seeing the behind-the-scenes photos, asking, "Was the Pond Ghost Hong Suzu?"

Since the photos were released, online reactions have poured in, such as: "Even as a ghost, her beauty cannot be hidden," "I had no idea it was Hong Suzu," "I couldn't recognize her because of the makeup, but looking at the behind-the-scenes photos, the vibe is completely different," "Her presence was massive despite the short appearance," and "Both her acting and visuals were impressive."

Born in 1994, Hong first gained recognition through EXO's Chanyeol's 'Spring Summer Fall Winter' music video in 2019. She began her full-scale acting career with the drama 'Lovestruck in the City' in 2020 and has been building her filmography through various works such as 'Sweet Home 2' and 'The Impossible Heir'.

Last year, she was recognized for her stable acting skills in the MBC drama 'Moon River' and established herself as a next-generation rising star by winning the Newcomer Award at the '2025 MBC Drama Awards'.

'Good Bye My Princess' is a royal occult fantasy where Gu-cheon (Nam Joo Hyuk), who has the ability to see ghosts, Saeng-gang (Roh Yoon-seo), an inspector palace maid who hears the voices of ghosts, and King Lee Yeon (Cho Seung-woo) track the truth behind the curse covering the royal family. Immediately after its release, it climbed to number one in the domestic Netflix series rankings and continues to garner attention by succeeding on global charts, and Hong's acting, which left a strong impression in the work, is also receiving praise from viewers.
