Actress Jae-hee spoke about her period of inactivity.

Recently, a video featuring Jae-hee was uploaded to the YouTube channel operated by Shin Jeong-hwan, a broadcaster formerly from Country Kkokko.

Regarding her recent activities, Jae-hee said, "Once I finished filming a TV drama, the lineup of projects coming in changed. Both films and mini-series were suddenly cut off. This happened even when the ratings were good."

She added, "When I go to discuss a film role, they say, 'You've already done a TV drama.' They seem to judge that actors who have appeared in TV dramas have a lower status. I don't know where this idea came from, but many actors who have appeared in TV dramas will likely agree."

She continued, "I really want to act, but there is no space for me to do so. So I filmed another TV drama, and then only TV drama offers kept coming in, creating a vicious cycle. I thought that if I disappeared for a while and then reappeared, things might change, so I took a break." She explained the reason for her three-year hiatus.

Jae-hee stated, "My face became well-known, and I got older, so I wasn't hired. I worked a lot in restaurant kitchens. Recently, I started (TikTok) live broadcasts."

She further shared, "While doing live broadcasts, I worked at a restaurant and also did night shifts at a convenience store."

Meanwhile, Jae-hee debuted in 1997 with the MBC drama "San" and received much love for the 2005 KBS 2TV drama "Kkae-geol Chun-hyang." She halted activities after the MBC drama "Bap-i Do-eo-ra," which aired in 2021.
