Actress Yoon Mi-ra (74) revealed anecdotes about receiving multiple sponsor offers while working in the entertainment industry in the past.

On the 17th, a video titled "An Unexpected Encounter with an Alligator (?) at Noryangjin Fisheries Market and Even a Special Omakase! A Day in the Middle of the Sea" was uploaded to Yoon Mi-ra's YouTube channel.

While dining at Noryangjin Fisheries Market, Yoon Mi-ra touched upon the past practices of sponsorships in the entertainment industry.

Yoon Mi-ra stated, "There were many sponsors back then. You know, when we were actors," and added, "I received such offers countless times."

She further remarked, "Back then, we didn't have cell phones. We used landline phones at home. They said they would take care of us from behind, buy us cars, or provide sponsors. So, how many young people's lives were ruined?"

In particular, Yoon Mi-ra also disclosed her experience of receiving a sponsor offer directly at her home in her early twenties. She recalled, "I was living in Mukjeong-dong back then. I think I was around 22 or 23 years old." She remembered that when she returned home after filming, there were men dressed in black vehicles and wearing black clothes waiting outside her house.

She continued, "When I arrived like this, my mother said, 'Hey, come inside quickly.' Those people knocked on the door from outside, but my mother absolutely refused to open it. They just left."

She also mentioned a case where a former female actress publicly shared a message containing a sponsor offer. Yoon Mi-ra said, "I received such text messages and sponsor offers, so I just made them public." She further pointed out the behavior of some directors in the past, stating, "They were bad guys. Back then, there were many bad directors like that."
