Actress Yeom Hye-ran revealed why she was contemplating retirement.
Actress Yeom Hye-ran of 27 years appeared on tvN's "YOU QUIZ on the Block," which aired on the 18th, and talked about various things.
On this day, Yeom Hye-ran said, "Director Bong Joon-ho watched the play and offered an audition," adding, "That was when the director was looking for actors who were good at acting while watching the play. When he saw me acting as a clown, he offered me an audition, and he appeared as the victim's mother in the movie 'Memories of Murder,' he said.
Yeom Hye-ran, who was recognized for her long time on the theater stage, confessed that she was worried because her salary was low. He said, "I think hard work is a must when you do what you like. But I thought I had settled down, and I played nonstop for a year. I was interviewed, and when I was asked about my salary, I thought about it, it was less than 10 million won in money at the time. It's a long time ago, so the unit will be different now. That's when I was upset. "I thought I was constantly acting and recognized, but I was upset that I had no choice but to struggle financially," he said.
"I thought I wanted to act without worrying about money, but I wondered if I should quit when my mom was seriously sick. I thought I was selfish because I thought I was not doing my child's duty. From simple labor, I rolled kimbap and sold it to a PC room, and I also worked at a bakery in the morning," he said.
Yeom Hye-ran also mentioned mother-daughter relationships. He said of raising his 15-year-old daughter, "I know how hard it is to raise her while working. Mom's wish came true. Whenever she says she's having a hard time raising her daughter, she's happy that it's good, not "What should I do," he said. "My daughter is kind of like, 'Say anything'. It is equipped with an attitude of 'yes' at a time. I ask ChatGPT everything that was upsetting to me," he said.
"My mom is sick and she's old, so there's nothing to laugh about. I hope she laughs while watching this show," he said
My mom is a person with a lot of things, but I don't think there was a moment when she was recognized and praised. It's a pity that I was born in an era when my mom wasn't recognized when the little thing I had was greatly appreciated. I've never complimented my mom before, but I want to tell her she's a pretty nice girl. He raised us well, we overcame our difficulties, but I'm so sorry that we don't always have good things to say and only strong things," he said with tears.
