Jung Sung-il and Oh Ji-yul reunite on the YouTube channel 'BDNS'. They share updates on Oh Ji-yul, who has grown from 9 to 13 years old, and enjoy a playful meeting utilizing their characters' settings.
Actors Jung Sung-il and Oh Ji-yul, who showcased a tearful father-daughter chemistry in the Netflix series 'The Glory', have reunited after three years. In the final episode of the web content 'Please Deposit' recently released on the YouTube channel 'BDNS', the two drew viewers' attention by creating a playful reunion scene reminiscent of their connection in the drama.
In this video, Oh Ji-yul appeared as the niece of actress Cho Yeo-jeong. Cho Yeo-jeong shared her concerns in the video, saying, "I want to get close to my 13-year-old niece. She used to say, 'I love you, auntie,' but lately, she's acting distant as if she's gone through puberty." Upon seeing Oh Ji-yul, Jung Sung-il appeared so surprised that he even dropped the bread tray he was holding.
Ha Do-young and Ye-sol's quirky three-way meeting
As soon as Jung Sung-il faced Oh Ji-yul, he made a remark that seemed to bring the setting of 'The Glory' directly into the scene. He asked Oh Ji-yul, "So you're Ye-sol? No, will you answer me with Yes or No?" recreating the atmosphere of his character from the drama. This provided laughter to fans, as it coincided with how Ha Do-young looked after Ye-sol until the end even while knowing her identity in the work.
Oh Ji-yul replied that she has no time to play because she is currently preparing to enter middle school. Hearing this, Jung Sung-il made a tender expression like a father from the drama and gave a warm greeting, saying, "You study that hard? You've grown up well." However, he quickly tried to change the mood by adding a joke, "The commercial district here has grown well," which drew bewildered reactions from Moon Sang-hoon and Oh Ji-yul. The chemistry between the three in the video reminded fans of the father-daughter relationship from 'The Glory' and received playful reactions such as "The universes have unified" among fans.
From 9 to 13, Oh Ji-yul's remarkable growth

Having left a strong impression on global viewers with her adorable visuals and sharp acting during her appearance in 'The Glory', she now boasts even more mature features after three years.
In particular, while maintaining the same large eyes and distinct features from her time in 'The Glory', she is being evaluated as a textbook example of "natural growth" as she has added an atmosphere of having entered puberty. Moon Sang-hoon, who appeared in the video, also expressed admiration toward Oh Ji-yul, saying, "You look exactly the same." Netizens poured out various reactions through comments, such as "I can't believe they could meet like this," "Ye-sol has grown so much," and "Ha Do-young is a great actor."
