In the episode broadcast on January 30 of the variety show "My Grumpy Secretary" on SBS, actress Park Shin Hye appeared as the 16th star of the show.
In this episode, she visited a restaurant run by her parents before the company's year-end gathering, and shared warm stories about long-term relationships with colleagues in the acting industry.
In a gentle atmosphere, memories from the early stages of Park Shin Hye's career are gradually recalled.
Currently an actress with 24 years of experience, Park Shin Hye calmly looks back at her childhood difficulties and shares: "I was scolded a lot. I cried alone, went to the bathroom to cry, wiped away tears and then walked out again. Sometimes I even went to the Han River bank to cry.
The story naturally turned into the TV series "Stairway to Heaven" broadcast in 2003 on SBS. In the film, Park Shin Hye played the young version of the character played by Choi Ji Woo.
Park Shin Hye, who was 14 years old at the time, had to film a scene where she was slapped by the character of veteran actress Lee Hwi Hyang.
Park Shin Hye's mother shared: "After seeing my child being really beaten with my own eyes, I still can't watch that movie again.
According to revelations, Park Shin Hye was slapped nearly 30 times during filming. Her mother added: "She never told us how hard things were, so we didn't know at all. Only later did we hear the managers tell us. As parents, my heart really hurt.
This incident has also been mentioned in previous programs. On TV Chosun's "Star Talk Show", people in the industry said that Lee Hwi Hyang is famous for slapping truthfully to achieve realistic acting results.
At that time, the MC also commented "a strong hit in one reshoot is better than many reshoots". At the same time, there was also information that Lee Hwi Hyang felt particularly guilty towards Park Shin Hye.
Besides, many viewers still think that for a 14-year-old child, this experience cannot be considered a small matter.
But Park Shin Hye herself once said: "Leader Lee Hwi Hyang always hugged me after each scene. Looking back, it must be very painful, but at that time I didn't even realize how much I was in pain.
Finally, Park Shin Hye's mother tried to soothe the story when sharing: "Thanks to those artists, Shin Hye can become the person she is today.
Park Shin Hye has just reappeared with the main role in the movie "Investigator Hong" on tvN.
In the film, she is a financial supervisor at the age of 30, but has to disguise herself as a clumsy 20-year-old employee to investigate a suspicious fund of a securities company.
The film started with a modest rating of 3.5%, but after only 4 episodes it increased to 7.4% with many positive reviews.
