Actor Baek Jin-hee spoke out regarding the double-contract controversy.

On the 5th, a video titled "A painful past confession.. The reason why I couldn't whine to those around me even when it was hard and had to endure ㅠ" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Jini's White'.

Baek Jin-hee discussed with the YouTube production team about the difficult moments she experienced while working in the entertainment industry.

She said, "My life has always been painful and hard," adding, "You might think I'm arrogant if I say this, but I lived so intensely and diligently back then that I don't want to go back. Even if I did go back, I don't think I could do as well as before. So, in a way, my 30s are more comfortable."

Recalling her 20s, Baek Jin-hee said, "I wanted to do so well back then, but actually, I lacked experience. Even with effort, it wasn't enough to fill the gap, and that's why I struggled."

Additionally, Baek Jin-hee revealed that her life changed around the time before and after the sitcom 'High Kick! Revenge of the Short Leg' (hereinafter 'High Kick'), which ended in 2012. She stated, "Until I met the work 'High Kick', I was just an ordinary person. Then suddenly, I couldn't go to places like supermarkets or subways. Because I suddenly received attention, when I went to crowded places, it seemed like I was frozen while everyone else flowed past." She added, "I think that was the beginning of my panic attacks. So at that time, I took up pottery. I endured that period well."

Baek Jin-hee also revealed that she became entangled in a double-contract controversy during her time appearing on 'High Kick'.

She explained, "That was when 'High Kick' started. I already had a contract with my company, but the manager in between told me that my contract with another company had ended. However, upon checking, it turned out not to be true." She continued, "As a result, I ended up with a double contract, and legal notices were sent to me."

Baek Jin-hee said, "I was just starting to become known, so these things could have become major problems. Therefore, while working on 'High Kick', I paid the money I earned as liquidated damages." She added, "It was a lesson in life. I learned that you shouldn't trust people too much."

Meanwhile, Baek Jin-hee had previously explained the double-contract controversy during her appearance on MBC's variety program 'Radio Star'. She said, "When I was in my third year of high school, a company contacted me after seeing my commercial and we signed a contract. However, the general manager who was watching over me asked me to leave the company with him." She continued, "The general manager left with two actors, including me, and entered another company where we signed contracts. I thought everything had been resolved well with my previous agency, but shortly after, a legal notice regarding double contracting arrived at my home."

She further added, "I had to pay the new company more than 10 times the deposit amount, and since it was a double contract, legal notices were sent from both sides. At that time, I was under such severe stress that my blood vessels burst all over my body."
