The onscreen nudity of beautiful young actresses has always been an enduring topic of discussion across different eras and film works. But how have our views on actresses’ bodies shifted over time? The way audiences perceive and consume female exposure is undergoing a subtle, yet significant evolution.
Park Ji Hyun
Park Ji Hyun made a bold choice to go nude in the movie Hidden Face (directed by Kim Dae Woo). Even before its release, her daring decision grabbed attention. The film went on to become the top-grossing R-rated Korean movie of the year and the first in five years to surpass 1 million tickets sold.
Park Ji Hyun first rose to fame playing Mo Hyun Min in JTBC’s 2022 drama Reborn Rich. Known for her classy and sophisticated image, news of her taking on such a daring role sparked both curiosity and concern. Director Kim Dae Woo explained, “She saw nudity as ‘a costume unique to her character,’ which kept the scene from feeling cheap and shallow.”
Park Ji Hyun shared, “I approached the nude scene as part of playing Mi Ju. It was more about her seducing Sung Jin in front of Soo Yeon than focusing on the nudity itself.” She added confidently, “Knowing more people might watch the film after seeing Reborn Rich makes me feel even better about it.”
Currently, Park Ji Hyun is back on the big screen with her latest movie, Forbidden Fairytale, which premiered on January 8th.

Cha Joo Young
Cha Joo Young, who played one of the school bullies in Netflix’s The Glory, shocked viewers with a scene showing her bare upper body. The moment sparked debates about whether the nudity was real or CGI, as her character was described as having surgically enhanced breasts.
After her bold appearance in The Glory, Cha Joo Young took on another daring role in the tvN and TVING drama The Queen Who Crowns. The first episode drew much attention for featuring an intense bedroom scene with Lee Hyun Wook, where parts of her body were fully revealed.
While some worry about how these bold choices might affect her image, who could have thought it through more than the actresses themselves? With courage and conviction, Park Ji Hyun and Cha Joo Young are pushing boundaries and expanding their roles. Fans are excited to see what artistic worlds these actresses will bring to life, going beyond the limits of R-rated imagery.
