"The Director Cast Me Because He Likes My Tone"

Hong Soo-joo faced criticism from viewers regarding her vocalization and acting tone during her appearance in last year's Disney+ drama 'Royal Loader', which led to an acting controversy.

In her return to broadcast with 'The Moon Rises Over the River', she revealed, "The director cast me because he likes my tone," suggesting that the acting tone which was once a subject of controversy has now become a strength in this project. This indicates that she is expected to be given a character that suits her well.
