Mask Girl.In Mask Girl, Ahn Jae-hong plays office worker Joo Oh-nam, a socially withdrawn man obsessed with the show’s titular character. The series also stars After School‘s Nana, veteran actress Go Hyun-jung and newcomer Lee Han-byeol.In a new interview with The Korea Times, Ahn Jae-hong touched on the steps it took to transform himself into the character of Joo Oh-nam, including a 10kg weight gain and special effects makeup.“I wanted [Joo] to have a bizarre look that can show his character with a glance, so the special effects makeup director gave a lot of ideas too,” he said.
“We tested out different versions to create Joo’s appearance and physique.”“He’s not the type of person who communicates a lot with other people, so I felt he would have a hoarse voice whenever he spoke,” he added. “I also came up with weak, unconfident voice and poor posture for the secluded character, locked up in his own space.”Ahn also revealed that he had hesitated to take on the role because, unlike his previous “bright-spirited and cheerful” parts, the character of Joo Oh-nam was “filled with dark and intense energy”.In other K-drama news, Netflix has released a trailer for Song of the Bandits, starring Kim Nam-gil and Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun.

Lizzo‘s dancers received a settlement for another dispute months before three of her other dancers sued her for sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.The dispute, which the Los Angeles Times reports was raised in January, related to footage that was used in the artist’s 2022 documentary Love, Lizzo. The film features a scene where the dancers intimately discuss how misogyny, racism and weight-shaming have affected them, which their manager, Slay Smiles, had claimed was unauthorised.Smiles said that the documentary had “truly exploited these women and violated the emotional safety they had in those moments”.The LA Times reported that a group including the co-production company Boardwalk Pictures and a “Lizzo entity” settled the dispute in February after one of the dancers involved hired a lawyer.The footage concerned was shot in 2019 when Lizzo and the dancers were rehearsing for a performance at that year’s MTV VMAs.

Andrew Barnsley.Based on the eponymous memoir of Canadian comedian/actor Mark Critch, Newfoundland is miles away, thematically, from the onscreen work of British acting legend Malcolm McDowell (“A Clockwork Orange,” “Caligula,” “Star Trek Generations”), who co-stars as crusty grandfather Patrick “Pop” Critch.McDowell loves the show so much that he agreed to speak to The Post about “Son of Critch” — until the SAG-AFTRA strike put the kibosh on that.Barnsley, however, can talk about the series, and about how McDowell jumped at the chance to co-star as “Pop,” who shares a small bedroom with his 11-year-old grandson, series protagonist Mark Critch (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) who, when the series opens, is anxiously entering a new school where he doesn’t know anyone.The ensemble cast includes Mark Critch as Mark’s earnestly goofy dad, Mike — a reporter at the local radio station next door to their house — Claire Rankin as Mark’s mother, Mary and Colton Gobbo as Mark’s annoying older brother, Mike Jr. It will return for a second season on The CW.Critch is an executive producer along with Barnsley, Tim McAuliffe and Allan Hawco.Barnsley said he was “as shocked as you are” that McDowell, 80, agreed to a leading series role in “Son of a Critch,” which airs Mondays at 8 p.m.
