On July 28, actress Park So-dam, best known for her role in Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite, surprised fans by posting a series of photos on social media with a playful caption: “Because it’s hot.”
Clad in a sleek black dress and sporting a simple ponytail, Park radiated casual elegance. Another photo showed her in glasses, channeling a chic, intellectual aura that starkly contrasts with her previous image. Her refreshed appearance immediately drew praise online, with comments like,
- “She looks like a totally different person,”

This makeover comes shortly after Artist Company, the powerhouse agency co-founded by Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung, announced the conclusion of their exclusive contract with the actress. In a statement released on July 22, the agency said, “After careful discussions, we’ve decided to conclude our exclusive contract with Park So-dam.
