“Under the Queen’s Umbrella” actress Kim Ga Eun reveals why she disappeared from movies and dramas in 2020

Actress Kim Ga Eun talked about her first one-year hiatus since debut.

Kim Ga Eun, who appeared in the tvN’s drama “Under the Queen’s Umbrella”, which ended on December 4th, had an interview with Wikitree on December 7th.

Kim Ga Eun made her debut in 2009 through SBS’s 11th open recruitment and participated in at least two works every year. However, in 2020, she did not appear in any drama or movie, raising fans’ curiosity. 

Recalling her 2020, Kim Ga Eun said, “That was when I moved to a new company. Working as an actor, you need to be chosen. If you don’t get chosen, you will easily feel unstable. I used to suffer a time like that. That’s why I tried not to repeat it.”

At that time, Kim Ga Eun decided to meet the audience in person through theater plays instead of dramas, and it really created a turning point in her career. Regarding this, Kim Ga Eun explained, “I challenged theater acting to find out what I can do”, adding “Meeting the audience like that helped me approach acting in a different sense and feel more confident.”

The actress continued, “I think I’ve improved myself a lot as an actor through the plays I acted. I realized that there are so many places for me to act, whether it is on the stage or anywhere. I just need to do well.”

Meanwhile, Kim Ga Eun played Royal Consort Tae So Young in “Under the Queen’s Umbrella” and received favorable reviews for her impressive acting performances.
