Actor Hwang Jung-eum revealed that her bank account balance was only 500 won during the filming of the popular sitcom "High Kick Through the Roof."

On the 9th, in a video titled "The Day I Learned Exercise and Mukbang from Julien Kang" released through her YouTube channel, Hwang Jung-eum met with Julien Kang, who co-starred with her in the 2009 MBC sitcom "High Kick Through the Roof," for their first conversation in a long time.

Hwang Jung-eum said, "I was 26 years old at the time, and my bank account balance was only 500 won." She added, "Actually, even before I started earning money, 'High Kick' was too good. It was quite special."

She continued, "It was really tough filming while getting hit by sprinklers in winter and struggling to move properly. I even wondered if I should keep acting."

Hwang Jung-eum also said, "(After the success of 'High Kick Through the Roof') Commercials came pouring in overnight. Almost all of them did." She added, "Every single day felt like a blessing, and I was so grateful. Even now, thinking about it makes me feel good."

She then expressed her wish to do "High Kick Through the Roof 2," to which Julien Kang replied, "Let's make one more season together."

Hwang Jung-eum debuted in 2001 as a member of the girl group Suga and later transitioned into acting, appearing in numerous works.

She married entrepreneur Lee Young-don, a former professional golfer, in 2016, and they have two sons. However, they divorced last May, and she is currently raising her children alone.
