Her chance to debut into entertainment was thanks to her mother. When she was cast on the streets when she was in high school, she said, "I think I was submissive when I was young. My mom told me to go for it for experience".

Kim Jung-hwa then calmly said, "It recurred and she is being treated". She sent a message to her mother, saying she was going to cry and making a touching moment, "Thank you for going through the treatment so well and I will protect you".

Meanwhile, Kim Jung-hwa has been cast for the drama "Gwanggaeto the Great", a follow up of the current historical drama "King Geunchogo" on KBS 1TV.
