“Parasite” actress Jang Hye-Jin revealed why Choi Woo-sik wasn’t shown on camera at the Academy Awards

Jang Hye-jin recently gathered attention for her appearance in the movie “Parasite” as well as in “The Red Sleeve.”

Actress Jang Hye-Jin recently guested on MBC’s show “Radio Star.” In this episode of “Radio Star,” she shared some behind-the-scenes stories of the Academy Awards. 

At the Academy Awards, there are people whose part-time job is to fill the spot when an actor or actress goes to the bathroom or leaves for urgent business.

Thanks to these part-timers, the awards ceremony always looks full.

Only experienced people know about this Academy Awards fact.

However, Choi Woo-sik, who didn’t know about this system, went to the bathroom without raising his hand to inform the organizers. As a result, when “Parasite” was called the winner, Choi Woo-sik was not caught on camera!

Since Choi Woo-sik wasn’t next to her at the moment, Jang Hye-jin got a solo one shot.

It is a sad story for Choi Woo-sik as he wasn’t there at the most important moment!
