On January 4, 2022, according to media outlets, the South Korean actress was approached for the lead female role in a new K-drama project, Morning Comes to Psychiatric Wards Too, which will be directed by Lee Jae-kyoo.

Director Lee Jae-kyoo has been in the limelight since the show All of Us Are Dead premiered on January 28, 2022. He has been the talk to of the town for his exemplary work in the new K-drama show.
