Actor Kim Hee-jung explained about the misunderstanding of the "people's affair woman."
He appeared on KBS 1TV's "Morning Madang," which aired on the morning of the 24th, showing his passion for drama-like life history and new works. On this day, Kim Hee-jung appeared with fellow actor Park Jin-hee as the main character of KBS 2TV's new daily drama "Red Pearl" and showed off her jewel-like talking that caught the eyes of viewers.
In this broadcast, Kim Hee-jung said, "I thought about it because it looked too gentle, but I made a dot to look more cheeky," signaling an unconventional acting transformation in the new daily drama 'Red Pearl.'
Kim Hee-jung revealed her unexpected past, contrary to her current slim figure. Kim Hee-jung, who told her story that she couldn't dream of becoming an actor because of her fat body in school, said she studied and prepared for theater to become an actor and entered university as a directing major.
He then started to play at the university, but when he continued to play the role of an old lady, he went on a diet with the thought that he would have to try on the dress at least once, and showed a thorough self-management by maintaining it until now.
In addition, the confession that he prepared by considering starting a restaurant to overcome the anxiety of his unknown days left a deep impression on viewers. Kim Hee-jung, who had to stay in a minor role for more than 10 years even though she was elected through SBS's open recruitment, sincerely expressed that she had risen to her current position after working diligently without letting go of her acting despite such desperation.
In addition, Kim Hee-jung made a pleasant and direct explanation for the public misunderstanding that she was a "national affair woman," and complained of unfairness by watching the VCR, saying, "At that time, I was the mother and son of a family." Finally, he expressed his affection for the work, saying, "I will go to see you for five months, so please show a lot of love."
Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's daily drama "Red Pearl," starring Kim Hee-jung, will air at 7:50 p.m. on weekdays.
