Actress Koo Hye-sun will appear on a variety program to openly share her honest feelings about malicious comments and behind-the-scenes stories of her eventful entertainment career.
Koo Hye-sun will appear on MBN's 'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night' episode 34, which airs on the 18th. Marking her 24th year since debut, Koo Hye-sun drew attention in a recent recording by saying, "I read every single malicious comment without exception" and "I use logical criticism as a driving force for improvement." She then humorously shared an anecdote about receiving her first hateful comment calling her a "pig" after her debut, which shocked her and motivated her to diet.
During the broadcast, Koo Hye-sun also revealed an anecdote about her recent Himalayan climbing expedition. Koo Hye-sun, who successfully reached 4,300 meters on Mt. Himalaya on her first climbing attempt, explained that she walked for 16 hours a day during the grueling journey. Particularly noteworthy, she showed an eating show to survive when her stamina was depleted, and even ate cookies and food meant for horses, resulting in a surprising twist where she actually gained 8kg and returned home, leaving the audience in stitches.
She also looks back on the original face-beauty syndrome that shook South Korea in the past and her heyday with the dramas 'Boys Over Flowers' and 'Pure Nineteen.' Regarding the ski resort scene from 'Boys Over Flowers' that has been trending for 17 years, Koo Hye-sun said, "No matter how many times I watch it, I don't understand why it's so funny," revealing her honest feelings and drawing laughter.
She also confesses to the pain hidden behind her glamorous career. Koo Hye-sun recalled a shocking moment when she lost consciousness due to a severe anaphylactic shock during past drama filming. As she reminisced about the time she collapsed in a public restroom and faced the brink of life and death, she opened up about how this became an opportunity to deeply reflect on human dignity. She then shared an anecdote about surviving on rice porridge alone before consuming food while prepared with prescribed medications and injections because she desperately wanted to eat soy sauce marinated crabs, and conveyed that she has since recovered her health.
MBN's 'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night,' featuring Koo Hye-sun's diverse life stories, will air on Saturday, the 18th at 9:40 PM.
