Oh Ji-yul, the child actress who won viewers’ hearts as Ha Ye-sol in Netflix’s hit series The Glory, has delighted fans with a surprising reunion alongside Jung Sung-il, showing just how much she has grown since the drama aired. The young actress recently appeared in the final episode of the YouTube series Please Deposit, uploaded to the BDNS channel on July 12.

The episode featured actress Jo Yeo-jeong and actor Jung Sung-il, while Oh Ji-yul appeared as Jo Yeo-jeong’s fictional 13-year-old niece.

During the show, Jo Yeo-jeong shared a lighthearted concern about wanting to become closer to her teenage niece. “She used to say she loved spending time with me, but now she seems shy, almost like she’s entered puberty,” Jo Yeo-jeong joked.

One of the biggest highlights came when Jung Sung-il entered the scene and recognized Oh Ji-yul. The actor, who portrayed Ha Do-young, Ha Ye-sol’s father in The Glory, comically pretended to be so shocked that he dropped the tray he was carrying. Sitting across from her, he jokingly asked: “So you’re Ye-sol? Could you answer with just ‘Yes’ or ‘No’?” The line playfully referenced one of the memorable exchanges from The Glory, prompting nostalgic reactions from viewers.

Keeping up with the joke, Oh Ji-yul effortlessly matched Jung Sung-il’s playful energy. When he warmly asked if there was anything she wanted to do with “Aunt Jo Yeo-jeong,” she casually replied: “Not really.” She then added with a straight face: “Next year I’ll be preparing to enter middle school, so I won’t have time to hang out with my aunt.” Her unexpectedly matter-of-fact answer left everyone laughing while reminding viewers just how quickly she has grown.

Oh Ji-yul gained widespread recognition through her portrayal of Ha Ye-sol, the daughter of Park Yeon-jin, whose character became a central figure in Moon Dong-eun’s revenge story in The Glory. Now a sixth-grade elementary school student preparing to enter middle school next year, the actress looks noticeably more mature than when audiences first met her in the Netflix drama.

Her reunion with Jung Sung-il also brought back fond memories for fans, as the pair cleverly referenced their on-screen father-daughter relationship while creating new laughs in a variety show setting.
