If your TikTok algorithm is all about The Glory , you've probably seen Cha Joo Young's NSFW scene as one of the most talked about clips on the platform. Some view it as "unnecessary" while others think that it's a significant part of the Netflix K-drama. In a recent interview with Korean media company Osen, the actress opened up about the controversial episode and disclosed more details about it.
Joo Young plays Choi Hye-jeong, a flight attendant who was one of Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye Kyo)'s bullies back in high school. Hye-jeong's group of friends would often humiliate her because of her financial status, and would upright say that she was supposed to be their victim if they haven't met Dong-eun. Because of this, she made it a point to keep her appearance pristine through plastic surgery and by wearing borrowed designer clothes from her family's dry cleaning business.
The scene that became viral from The Glory Part 2 was when Hye Jeong bared her breast in front of Park Yeon-jin (Lim Ji Yeon). Joo Young said that she discussed it a lot with the drama's writer and director, Kim Eun Sook and Ahn Gil Ho. She also revealed that computer graphics (CG) were added to that part.
"Hye-jeong herself made it clear that she went through breast augmentation. Since I haven't had that, CG processing was involved. But rather than not taking [my clothes] off, yes, that was my body. It might sound vague, but I wanted to accurately point it out. There was a lot of effort put into the second part of The Glory and the important parts were written. I didn't just take off my clothes for no reason," Joo Young shared.
She also added that in the bathtub scene with Jung Jae-joon (Park Sung Hoon) where she showed her back, a body double was used.
