The actress expressed how she got offended when she first saw an article with the phrase "rediscovery of Kim Hee Sun."

As obtained by the outlet, she admitted that she "felt bad" about her association with the word "rediscover" and questioned, "Did I not have this much presence?"

Kim Hee Sun also expressed her disappointment, "I'm frustrated because I've been rediscovered more than 20 times, and now I'm disappointed if I don't use the word rediscovery," adding, "I want to be the most rediscovered actor in Korea."

The actress has been in the industry for years since she made a debut as a host in the popular music variety show "Inkigayo."

She also gained massive fame in China after joining the renowned actor Jackie Chan for the 2005 movie "The Myth" and "The Warring States" in 2011.

Interestingly, Kim Hee Sun once again gained the attention of viewers with her bold comeback to the small screen for the action fantasy K-drama "Tomorrow" where she played a fearless grim reaper, Goo Ryun.
