Actress Song Hyeon-seo revealed the reality of working as an executive assistant alongside her acting career in order to continue performing.

On the 27th, a video titled "Former manager of Yoo In-na, a 30-something actress chasing her dreams while working part-time as an executive driver for a CEO worth hundreds of billions of won" was released on the YouTube channel 'Empty Paper.'

On that day, Song Hyeon-seo introduced herself by saying, "I started acting in 2015, so I am now a 10-year veteran actress." She also disclosed her past experience working as an actor's manager at YG Entertainment.

Song Hyeon-seo said, "I worked as a manager starting with senior (Cha) Seung-won, then for my senior Yoo In-na, and actress Son Na-eun," adding, "I spent about four years with In-na-nuna, which is the period I remember most vividly."

She stated that she is currently working part-time jobs in addition to her acting activities. Song Hyeon-seo said, "It is difficult to make a living on acting alone, so part-time work is essential," and revealed, "I have done many different part-time jobs, but for the past five to six months, I have been working as an executive assistant."

She continued, "It is a job where actors or aspiring actors gather together, and we assist young billionaires in their 40s," explaining, "We are responsible for caring for individuals with assets worth hundreds of billions of won."

She explained that the work involves assigning personnel based on schedule compatibility. She added, "The person whose schedule matches goes out, and everyone receives the same training regarding service standards."

Song Hyeon-seo also stated that she does not view her job as an executive assistant merely as a means of making a living. She said, "I want to achieve success like them, so I try to find their common traits," adding, "I observe a lot about their lifestyle patterns, what clothes they wear, what they buy, and how they live."

She continued, "There seems to be a lot to learn from an acting perspective as well. The portrayal of the wealthy in dramas is stereotyped, but in reality, there are many aspects that do not fit that mold," revealing, "I think a lot about how real wealthy people behave."

She also spoke candidly about the process of obtaining opportunities for works as an unknown actress. Song Hyeon-seo said, "For an unknown actor to participate in major media productions, there is almost no way other than going through a casting director," adding, "I always worry about how I can appeal to them."

She stated, "I have tried changing my profile and, if I can reach out, I keep contacting people even if it becomes bothersome. Through that, I actually had the experience of landing a role," conveying the reality by saying, "Actors in positions like mine must do this to get even minor roles in major media productions."

Finally, Song Hyeon-seo revealed her anxiety about time as an actress. She said, "Although people say it is okay to take it slow, there is a regret that if I am too late, I will not be able to do the kind of acting suitable for that age group," adding, "Once you pass your 40s, you can no longer play student roles, right?"
