[HanCinema's News] Ha Yul-ri Returns With "Today's Webtoon"

The premiere of "Today's Webtoon" on July 29th sees a familiar face in the form of Ha Yul-ri. At only twenty-three years of age, Ha Yul-ri is a newer actress, but had already made a strong impact in supporting roles in multiple major dramas last year. In "Sisyphus: The Myth" Ha Yul-ri was the younger sister of Chae Jong-hyeop's character. Then in "The Red Sleeve" she was a personal handmaiden to the lead character played by Lee Se-young.

But in "Today's Webtoon" Ha Yul-ri plays the other side of the power dynamic as Pomme, the most popular webtoon artist at the company where the main characters work. Her character has humble origins, though, starting out her work on an amateur message board for comics writers and getting a contract at Neon Webtoons chiefly due to her strong reputation as an amateur. Her character is also expected to have a strong character relationship with all three of the drama's leads.

In a statement released by her agency, Starhouse Entertainment, Ha Rul-ri stated that it was an honor to be a part of such a good project. She expressed the hope that viewers would enjoy "Today's Webtoon" as well. Ha Yul-ri also said she would work hard until the end of production and that it would be good if viewers also watched to the end with love. "Today's Webtoon" will air on Fridays and Saturdays on SBS in South Korea, with episodes to be added to Rakuten Viki internationally shortly thereafter.
