Actress Kong Min-jeong clarified her exaggerated success story.
On the 17th, a video titled "Princess Kong Min-jeong, Exiled from SNL Smile Clinic After Leaving, Self-Exiled as Head of Nursing Team" was released on the YouTube channel "Cheongyo Lisa of Joseon."
That day, Kong Min-jeong revealed, "I did have a part-time job at a dumpling shop, making six trays at a time, with 100 dumplings per tray. Recently, I found shorts videos related to me. My story had been embellished and was circulating. It had transformed into a success story of an actor who made dumplings, and I felt embarrassed watching it."
She continued, "I ended up working at the dumpling shop because a friend was already working there, and after eating the dumplings, I found them so delicious that I decided to work there just to eat more dumplings. I did it after debuting as an actress. The shorts claimed I worked there for eight years, but that is completely untrue."
She added, "It was six years ago. I thought I should have my footing by the time I turned 40. I feel I found good works quickly. I was extremely lucky. Meeting the work 'Crash Course in Romance' was a great stroke of luck. The period when I worked part-time at the dumpling shop was right before I joined 'Crash Course in Romance.'"
Kong Min-jeong also added, "I also did part-time work as a model for an art academy and sold baby mats at an exhibition. I tried part-time jobs at cafes and restaurants, and even sold roasted sweet potatoes for a month."
