This “Penthouse villain” once shocked everyone with her appearance in “King of Masked Singer”

Famous actress Kim So Yeon once went viral for her beautiful singing voice on “King of Masked Singer”

In the past 10 years, actress Kim So Yeon has been well-recognized for her various “villainous roles”, and recently received a lot of attention for her appearance in the megahit K-drama “Penthouse: War in Life” (hereafter referred to as “Penthouse”). With her sharp and emotional acting skills, the actress is considered one of the hearts of this series, and a huge contributor to its huge success.

Prior to “Penthouse”, however, Kim So Yeon once went viral over her vocal abilities, after appearing in a 2016 episode of Korean TV show “King of Masked Singer”. In the show, she wore a squirrel mask, and flaunted her sweet yet powerful voice.

The audience was shocked when Kim So Yeon revealed her identity

The moment the audience got over Kim So Yeon’s shockingly good voice, they were blown away by her gorgeous bareface. However, it was later revealed that there’s a reason behind this lack of makeup.

In particular, a day before the recording for “King of Masked Singer”, a reporter called Kim So Yeon and informed her that he’d announced the news of her dating actor Lee Sang Woo. At the time, the actress was nervous and wanted to do her best on the show, so she asked for the reporter to delay his article, and received an affirmative response.

However, another news site also got their hands on the news, and so revealed Kim So Yeon’s relationship just a couple of hours before “King of Masked Singer”. As a result, Kim So Yeon felt guilty over the other reporter, who missed out on a hot article because of her. To make up for this reporter, the actress decided to do an exclusive phone interview and shared with this person memorable moments in the relationship with her boyfriend.

The phone interview was also the reason why Kim So Yeon couldn’t put on makeup and hairdo in time when she went on stage.  Her stage at that time, however, still received many compliments from the audience. 

Kim So Yeon can sing well, however she rarely shows her talent when appearing on reality TV shows. Kim So Yeon frequently surprised the public when she appeared on the program “Master In The House” because her voice was different from when she was on “King Of Masked Singer.”

Often playing cool roles on screen, but in real life, the Penthouse actress always shows a sense of humor when appearing on entertainment programs.
