Hwang Bo Ra commented, “Thanks to my character as a National Intelligence Service agent in ‘Vagabond,’ I was finally able to cut my hair into a bob after wanting to do so for six years. I personally suggested the bob hairstyle as a look that would fit the character.”

The actress also talked about her role in “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim,” where she earned praise for her portrayal of her character Bong Se Ra. She shared, “The character Bong Se Ra, who has a fiery and honest personality, is similar to me. We’re also similar in how we enjoy drinking.”

After naming documentary programs such as KBS’s “Screening Humanity” and EBS’s “Mother-In-Law and Daughter-In-Law Story” as two of her favorite TV shows, Hwang Bo Ra explained, “I learn about life through the different people on the programs, and I also [watch the shows] to study acting.”
