On October 28, actress Kim Hee Sun appeared as a guest on comedian Jang Do Yeon's online variety show "Salon Drip".
Here, Kim Hee Sun attracted attention when sharing about an exclusive online community for celebrities.
Duam - a major Korean electronic information portal - is popular with the Daum cafe community, a place for artists and fans to interact. But according to Kim Hee Sun, there is a secret Daum cafe community stored on Daum and reserved only for verified celebrities.
Kim Hee Sun recalls that one of the first members of the group was G-Dragon (Big Bang) when he was a high school student, and pop singer Se7en.
We are no longer in contact, but G-Dragon was still a high school student at the time. In the Daum cafe community that only celebrities can participate in, you have to go through a verification process to get in. Everyone in there is a celebrity and we talk back and forth, Kim Hee Sun said.
Singer Se7en and Kim Hee Sun became close thanks to participating in this online community: "At that time, I was over 30 and Se7en was only over 20, so the age gap seemed quite large. I often jokingly call him boy. But now he is over 40, and to me he is still like a child.
In particular, Kim Hee Sun revealed that this online community is where many unofficial relationships and breakups arise.
She said: "Even in that community, people still date each other, and when they break up, they cause trouble and leave the group. Every time we say, This person is about to appear in the newspaper, they will definitely appear in the newspapers headline.
The actress said that this community no longer exists, but the memories of dramatic events in the community are still vivid.
Kim Hee Sun is preparing to return in early November with a leading role in TV Chosun's drama "Because There Is No Next Life".
The film tells the story of three 41-year-old women (played by Kim Hee Sun, Han Hye Jin, Jin Seo Yeon) who are exhausted by work and raising children.
Kim Hee Sun will play Jo Na Jung - a former MC of a home shopping show, who gave up her career to become a housewife. Aspiring to return to the spotlight, she had to fight to balance reality and dreams.
Kim Hee Sun herself sympathizes with the character, because she had to temporarily stop acting 6 years after getting married.
The actress shared: "The emotions I experienced during that time were very similar to Jo Na Jung. Because I went through difficulties and moments when I had to make decisions in real life, the difficulties of the character were not like other people's stories.
I hope that Jo Na Jung's journey to find her dream and career after being buried in housework and taking care of her children will inspire the audience to find themselves."
