Actor Ko Ah-seong revealed the hidden story behind earning the description of 'number one in smoking acting'.
On the 21st, a video titled 'These days, pursuit beauty shots are high...! Clean girl, personal body type, OO core... Women who followed pursuit beauty and ended up tearing their legs' was uploaded to the 'Yeouido After-Work Club' YouTube channel's 'Urban Women's Shelter' segment.
On that day, guest Eom Ji-yoon said to Ko Ah-seong, "Among smoking enthusiasts, they always say Ko Ah-seong smokes the most deliciously."
In response, Ko Ah-seong recalled the 2015 film 'Right Now, Wrong Then', stating, "Actually, there's a misunderstanding. It was really tough. Director Hong Sang-soo did too many takes. About 40 times. I lit the cigarette 40 times."

She continued, "Actually, that scene was never meant to look like she was smoking deliciously, but I tried hard to make it appear that way."
Ko Ah-seong also shared, "One day while browsing the internet, I saw a post saying 'Number One in Smoking Acting in South Korea'. I was number one, and Ryu Seung-beom was number two."
She added, "After that scene became famous, I did smoking scenes in 'I Hate You' and 'Lee Do-na!', and I felt I had to surpass my previous self. It's a battle with myself. I don't want to lose the number one spot."
