She has carried on the legacy of 'CineTown,' a film-music program that has been on the air since 1999, establishing herself as a reliable host who brightened listeners' mornings.

Park Ha-sun remains active across a range of fields. She is currently showcasing her versatility in the play 'The Secret of Flowers' and entertainment programs including 'Divorce Consideration Camp', 'Hidden Eye' and 'My Secret Butterfly Effect'. After leaving radio, she plans to review her next projects and accelerate her acting work in earnest.
