Recently, the suspense series “Mask Girl” has been creating a buzz around the internet. The webtoon-based Korean drama is garnering attention for its story, casting, and superb performances by the actresses who portrayed the character.


Directed by Kim Yong Hoon, the 7-episode Netflix original follows the story of an office worker named Kim Mo Mi, who also works as a masked streamer by night. Lee Han Byul, the rookie actress who was cast in the thriller, seems like a perfect fit for the role as her resemblance with the comic character is too striking.




Apart from Lee Han Byul, meanwhile, two other Hallyu stars embodied Mask Girl’s persona—South Korean singer Im Jin Ah, or mononymously known as Nana; and beauty queen-actress Go Hyun Jung.

Im Jin Ah/Nana

After committing a crime, Kim Mo Mi decided to spend a handsome amount of money for her plastic surgery. She then continues to live her life as a showgirl. Im Jin Ah, or Nana, brings into being this new and physically-improved version of the character.


Prior to acting, Nana debuted as a member of K-pop groups After School and its subunit Orange Caramel. She started as an actress in 2014, and has since become part of various Korean content like “Fashion King,” “Into the Ring,” and “The Swindlers.”


Nana also personified an alien chaser character named Heo Bo Ra in Netflix’s supernatural comedy series “Glitch.” Here, she starred alongside Hallyu breakout star Jeon Yeo Been.

Go Hyun Jung

Go Hyun Jung is the last actress who appeared in the genre-bending Korean drama. She takes on the role of Kim Mo Mi as a prisoner, who was convicted behind bars due to her involvement in a murder case.


Before being an actress, Go Hyun Jung first rose to recognition as a runner-up in the Miss Korea pageant in 1989. Later on, she starred in the high-rated and critically acclaimed television drama “Sandglass.”
