Ha Ji-won to discuss Fenway Park pitch and new film on 'You Quiz on the Block'

Actress Ha Ji-won reunites with national MC Yoo Jae Suk after three years. Expanding her horizons from university life to Major League Baseball ceremonial pitches and film appearances, Ha is expected to share previously unreleased stories through 'You Quiz on the Block'.

Ha will appear on the tvN variety program 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz'). This marks her first appearance on the show in approximately three years since her last appearance in 2023.

Recently, Ha has been broadening her connection with the public by pursuing new experiences beyond her traditional field as an actress. In particular, she garnered attention by challenging herself to campus life, appearing in the web variety show 'Class of '26 Ji-won,' where she naturally mingled with MZ generation students after enrolling in Kyung Hee University.

Her moves are drawing attention as she continues to dive into new environments rather than being conscious of her age. Rather than settling for the image and career she has built as an actress, this process involves re-examining herself within unfamiliar spaces and generations.

Last month, she also served as a ceremonial pitcher for a Major League Baseball regular season game between the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles held at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Her participation as a ceremonial pitcher in such an unusual venue for a Korean actress drew local interest.

On 'You Quiz,' behind-the-scenes stories regarding the Fenway Park ceremonial pitch are expected to be revealed. Viewers are anticipated to be interested in the unknown details, such as the process of becoming a ceremonial pitcher at a world-renowned baseball stadium and the atmosphere she experienced on-site.

She will also meet audiences through film. In the movie 'Portrait of a Family,' scheduled for release on September 2, Ha stars alongside Ryu Seung Ryong as a married couple.

'Portrait of a Family' tells the story of a top-star couple, Jung-gu (Ryu Seung Ryong) and Nam-mi (Ha Ji-won), who face a breakdown in their marriage due to the sudden appearance of Jung-gu's daughter, Dong-ju (Kim Si-a). Eight years later, they risk everything to uncover the truth to save Dong-ju, who has become embroiled in a shocking incident.

Directed by Lee Ji-won, the director of the film 'Miss Baek,' the work is a deep family drama centered on how family relationships transform in times of crisis. Through this project, Ha is expected to showcase a different acting texture from her existing romantic or action-oriented images.

This appearance on 'You Quiz' is significant as it provides a venue to review Ha's recent activities all at once. Various stories are expected to unfold, ranging from why a long-time actress dove into the new space of a university to her special experience at Fenway Park and the background behind her choice of the new film 'Portrait of a Family.'

In particular, as Ha and Yoo Jae Suk are meeting again after three years, expectations are high for a comfortable conversation stemming from their long-standing connection. Rather than focusing solely on promoting the work, it is highly likely to be a time to look into the present and future direction of actress Ha.

'You Quiz on the Block' airs every Wednesday at 8:45 PM. Ha's episode is scheduled to be broadcast at a later date.
