Her debut in the entertainment industry may have been an inevitable step. Public interest was already secured, and there was no reason not to take advantage of it. However, the halo of 'Jang Wonyoung's sister' cast both light and shadow. The public was more interested in the fact that she was 'Jang Wonyoung's sister' than in her acting skills or potential, which was the biggest mountain Jang Da-ah had to overcome.

In this context, her confession of being 'forever alone' can be interpreted as a strategic choice, not just a simple happening.
