Actress Park Ha Seon recently revealed she was bullied during her school years, shedding light on the challenges she faced away from the spotlight.
During the JTBC show "Knowing Bros," which aired on the evening of April 18, actors Jeong Bo Seok, Ye Ji Won, and Park Ha Seon appeared as guests. Their conversation involved personal anecdotes that had nothing to do with their performances.
Jeong Bo Seok thought about how much he loved acting, especially in comedies. He said, "After High Kick Through the Roof, I wanted to do comedy acting so badly that I didn't take any other roles and waited for six months. Playing a villain in the drama Giant actually felt refreshing." His candid admission revealed the dedication behind his career choices, as reported by OSEN.
Ye Ji Won shared an unusual experience involving her cameraman during filming. She explained, "During filming of Law of the Jungle, the cameraman filming me was so exhausted he got a nosebleed, and later, during another freediving shoot, the cameraman filming me had a nosebleed again." Ye Ji Won then reunited with that cameraman on the show's set, creating a touching moment captured by Koreaboo.
The conversation took a more serious turn when Park Ha Seon spoke about being bullied in school due to a television appearance.
She recalled, "When I appeared on Challenge! Golden Bell, the writer had me act cute, but I was bullied by other students because of it. Later, I became scared of those students and took a taxi instead of the bus, but then I was criticized for taking a taxi." Her comments showed how unfairly she was treated at school and by others who judged her choices.
Separately, Park Ha Seon is undergoing intense and physically demanding rehearsals for the revival of the play Hongdo, pushing her voice and body to the limit, according to The Korea Herald.
The production, based on a tragic 1930s melodrama, marks a major challenge as she performs without a microphone and recovers from vocal strain.
Despite the difficulties, she feels the experience will make her stronger, while the revived play is being updated to better connect with modern audiences.
