Recently, Moon Ga Young appeared as a guest on the entertainment program You Quiz on the Block, broadcast on the evening of April 9.
At the beginning of the conversation, MC Yoo Jae Suk shared: Maybe many audiences already know that Moon Ga Young debuted as a child actor.
Yoo Jae Suk asked Moon Ga Young when he debuted. The actress revealed: "I was born in Germany and came to Korea when I was 10 years old, that was when I started my career. I never rest. I always run my full speed forward.
Moon Ga Young's family background also attracted attention. She was raised in a family where her parents were highly educated. Her father majored in physics, her mother was a piano artist.
Therefore, since childhood, Moon Ga Young has never had to attend extra classes. Her father directly taught her knowledge and effective learning, while her mother and her friends played musical instruments and taught her to play the piano, flute, and violin.
Currently, she can speak 3 languages (English, German, Korean). When Moon Ga Young showed his German speaking ability, Yoo Jae Suk expressed his surprise and praised: "This is the first time in the entertainment industry that I have seen such a good German speaker."
Moon Ga Young shared that during her time living in Germany, she was selected as a model for a children's clothing advertisement when she was 5-6 years old.
Ga Young confessed to his mother that he liked to be noticed and liked the sound of the camera. That is the reason why she quickly entered the entertainment industry right when she was 10 years old.
Moon Ga Young debuted in 2006 with the movie Bloody Reunion, followed by the TV series Kings Family in 2013 and Manystyle of Jealousy in 2016.
Yoo Jae Suk said: In the early 2000s, when Ga Young was active as a child actor, it was the golden age of child actors such as Park Eun Bin, Lee Se Young and Yeo Jin Goo. They are still active until now.
The male MC continued to ask: "How are you? Those who have seen Ga Young since he was a child, will they be surprised or happy to see you again on set?.
In response, Moon Ga Young shared a memory when she met the actress who co-starred in Hometown Over the Hill with her 19 years ago, on set for My Dearest Nemesis (aired in 2025).
Recalling her childhood days as an actress, Moon Ga Young shared: At that time, there were really fierce auditions and it was very difficult to accept. Although I am still young, I want to have a typical work as soon as possible, so I have tried the role hard for 13 years.
One of the reasons why many people don't know me as a child actress is probably because I didn't have any big or memorable works as a child. That's quite sad. But I like to wait and I'm good at it.
To this day, I am still close to Kim Yoo Jung, Kim So Hyun and Yeo Jin Goo. It's wonderful and admirable to see people working hard. I think, if you are in the right place and wait, opportunities will always come.
