Han Hyo-joo Talks About Her Fear Of Cameras And Depression During Debut Days, “I Cried Every Day”

Actress Han Hyo-joo confessed that she was scared of cameras when she just debuted

On October 7th, Han Hyo-joo attended Actors’ House held at KNN Theater in Haeundae, Busan, and shared various stories with the audience.

Revealing that she is getting more interested in creating characters, the actress also recalled her debut days. Han Hyo-joo said, “I studied Theater & Film but I couldn’t spend much time studying because I debuted as soon as I got accepted to the school. That’s why I lacked confidence when acting. I kept repeating failing and learning several times, like hitting a rock with an egg”.

She continued, “I cried every day because I couldn’t act well. I couldn’t act but I didn’t want to admit it. Senior actress Kim Hae-sook appeared in my debut work ‘Spring Waltz’ as my mother. She acted so well that made me wonder ‘Why is my acting so bad? This is so hard’. But the senior said ‘You shouldn’t try to do something I’ve done for 20-30 years at once like that’. After hearing her words, I began to accept myself.”

Han Hyo-joo explained, “I really wanted to do well back then. There was a time when I was even afraid of opening the car door and standing in front of cameras. I had a fear of cameras. Come to think of it now, I think it was depression”, adding “When I was wondering if I should continue acting after completing my first work, I met the movie ‘Ad-lib Night’ (2006). It was a low-budget independent film, but I learned a lot in the process of preparing it and changed the way to approach the characters.”
