Netflix’s new comic series “Masquerade Girl”held a press conference this morning. All five leading actors and directors attended the press conference. Among them, the lead actress Li Hanxing, who has been keeping secret, made her debut for the first time.
“Mask Girl”is adapted from the horror webtoon of the same name. It tells the story of the office worker “Kim Maung Mi”who has low self-esteem about her appearance. She uses a mask to cover her face every night and acts as a webcast host. A story that follows unexpected events.
In the play, Kim Maung-mi has three stages: pre-plastic surgery, post-plastic surgery, and middle age, and her appearance has undergone tremendous changes, so three different actors were invited to play the same role. Among them, Nana and Ko Hyun Jung, who played the post-plastic and middle-aged version, have appeared in the trailer, but the “initial version”Kim Maung Mi has been wearing a mask, full of mystery.
At today’s press conference, the third actor who played Kim Maung-mi – Li Hanxing (이한별) finally revealed the true face of Lushan. This drama is her debut as an actor and her first public appearance.
During the photo shoot, the interaction of the three leading actors was praised by netizens: Gao Xianting asked Li Hanxing to stand in the middle C position. As a junior newcomer, Li Hanxing was very nervous, so Nana took her hand and held it tightly, comforting and encouraging her.
