On February 4th, a YouTube channel “Fairy Jaehyung” uploaded a new video featuring the guest appearance of actress Kim Go-eun, who came to promote her new movie “Exhuma”.
Kim Go-eun said that she doesn’t get swayed by drama success and she tends to think of it as luck. However, if the drama doesn’t work well, she will be very sad and anxious. Regarding the reason, Kim Go-eun said, “I’m an actor and I get paid to act, so I think it’s the sense of conscience and responsibility as an actor. I seriously think that my acting should be worth the money”.
In addition, she coolly said, “It’s meaningless if no one watches pop culture and art productions, right? So I hope I can attract as many viewers as possible, even if they criticize me. I hope they can watch and criticize me at the same time”. Jung Jae-hyung then praised Kim Go-eun’s responsible and mature attitude toward acting.
As actors’ high appearance fees recently became an issue and netizens began searching for actors who got paid a lot. As a result, some actors were targeted and they suffered damage even though it was not true. Amid the confusion, Kim Go-eun’s honest remarks made headlines.
Kim Go-eun continued, “At some point, people only say good things to me. Now, I would wonder if they are being sincere. When I feel recognized and truly okay, I can move forward, but in the beginning, anxiety even reaches the maximum level. It seems like until now, I still want to have a sense of reassurance”.
JTBC’s “Newsroom” did an interview with “Exhuma” actor Choi Min-sik and he praised Kim Go-eun. The actor said, “Kim Go-eun is really no joke”, adding “She was very serious in revealing the white part in her eyes. That’s how bold Kim Go-eun was when trying to portray a shaman in detail.”
Hearing Kim Go-eun’s sincere confession about her responsibility and burden as a leading actress, many netizens nodded their heads and agreed with her remarks.
