Actress Kim Hye-soo drew attention with her slim figure, which looked so different that she was barely recognizable.

On the 16th, Kim Hye-soo shared photos and videos on her SNS to update fans on her recent life. In the released photos, Kim Hye-soo appeared in a neat style, pairing a white blouse with black pants. Even within the clean, understated outfit, her slender waist and the lines of her arms and legs stood out, drawing attention.

In particular, the back view revealed along the line of her body-hugging pants looked so slim that it drew comments describing her as having a “handful” figure. Reactions are continuing to pour in, expressing surprise at Kim Hye-soo’s dramatic body transformation, a stark contrast to her former glamorous image.

While creating a relaxed atmosphere with a natural smile, her unchanged beauty and proportions also drew attention.

Among fans, comments such as “At this point, isn’t she basically skin and bones?” and “Her body lines have completely changed” have continued, making it a hot topic.

Meanwhile, the programming of tvN’s anticipated drama Second Signal, starring Kim Hye-soo, has effectively fallen through.

A tvN official told MK Sports on the 17th, “Nothing has been finalized regarding the scheduling of Second Signal. As of now, it is undecided.” Regarding the replacement programming theory with Apple TV+’s Pachinko Season 1 raised in some quarters, the official added, “The scheduling has been finalized, but the timing is undecided.”

Second Signal is a follow-up to Signal, which was widely loved in 2016, and was an anticipated project that reunited the key figures from Season 1, including writer Kim Eun-hee and Kim Hye-soo, Lee Je-hoon, and Cho Jin-woong. It was already filmed through pre-production, and was scheduled to air in 2026 as a commemorative work for tvN’s 20th anniversary.

However, controversy involving one of the cast members has disrupted the scheduling, leaving the release timing uncertain. The tvN side had stated, “We are looking for the best possible solution in order to preserve the value of the work.”
