19+ Exposure and Same-Sex Scenes: Discover the Actress Portraying Sa-bi in “Queen Woo”

On September 16, Sports Today reported on an interview with Oh Ha-nee.

The TVING original drama “Queen Woo” is a historical action series that details the 24 hours in the life of Woo-hee (played by Jeon Jong-seo), who fights to become queen following the death of Go Nam-mu (Ji Chang-wook), the 9th king of Goguryeo. The narrative centers on the queen’s efforts to maintain her status through the practice of “Levirate marriage” , a cultural tradition in which a younger brother marries his deceased brother’s widow to uphold the family lineage, after Go Nam-mu’s passing.

In the series, Oh Ha-nee portrays Sa-bi, a palace maid who interprets omens and sets auspicious dates while harboring secret ambitions and revealing hidden palace intrigues for a fee.

The drama “Queen Woo” has sparked controversy due to its explicit scenes, especially the same-sex love scenes featuring Oh Ha-nee. In Episode 2 of Part 1, she delivers a powerful performance alongside Queen Woo-sun (Jeong Yu-mi) in a scene where Woo-sun, influenced by a potion, mistakes Sa-bi for Go Nam-mu and engages with her romantically. This particular scene runs for about 1 minute and 54 seconds.

When questioned about the audience’s reactions to “Queen Woo” , Oh Ha-nee responded with a shy smile, stating, “I’ve been checking out all the reactions. There’s a group chat with my friends where everyone is amazed. I’ve received many direct messages saying ‘I watched it so well’ and ‘I’ve been waiting for this work.’”

Interestingly, she expressed that she was not anxious about the explicit scenes. “Rather than worrying about the exposure, I felt it was essential to portray Sa-bi convincingly since it’s an important role. I wasn’t overly concerned about the exposure or pressure. My sole focus was on delivering a great performance,” she mentioned. “However, it was a bit disheartening that it seemed like people weren’t interested in my acting. When I received feedback from some stating ‘Regardless of the exposure, your acting was impressive,’ it was reassuring.”

Born in 1990, Oh Ha-nee has captured the hearts of viewers through shows like SBS’s “The Killing Vote” and MBN’s “Perfect Marriage Revenge.” Prior to her acting career, she also trained to become an idol.

The TVING original series “Queen Woo” released Part 1 on August 29 and Part 2 on September 12.
