Actor Lee Yeon shared the story of giving up her dream of becoming a track and field athlete and choosing the path of acting.

In the episode of MBC's variety program 'Omniscient Interfering View' aired on the 9th, Lee Yeon's daily life was revealed for the first time. She is currently playing the role of a secretary in the drama '21st Century Grand Duchess'.

On that day, Lee Yeon climbed Inwangsan Mountain from early morning and showed off her side as a 'mountain lover' who has conquered all the mountains around Seoul. Lee Yeon, who revealed that her hobby is hiking, surprised everyone by sprinting up the steep stairs of Inwangsan Mountain.

It turned out that Lee Yeon was a former track and field athlete during elementary school. She said, "I ran long-distance races. I participated in every long-distance race I could. I thought I was quite good in my region, but when I went to the city competition, I came in last. I quit right after coming in last," which drew laughter.

Meanwhile, Lee Yeon revealed the reason she chose the path of acting, drawing attention. She said, "I had no talent for studying, so I was worried about what to do. A friend told me they were attending a practical music academy, so I followed them. I kept going to the academy and naturally enrolled in the practical music department. But then stage fright set in, and everything people said sounded like they were talking about me."

She added, "I started on the path of acting while receiving acting therapy. It was mentally very difficult."
