During a recent recording of
tvN 'E NEWS Behind Star', actress
Lee Min Jung, who is currently receiving explosive interest in Korea for her acting and CF deals,�talked about hardships during her debut days.
"When I first debuted, the public response was little and showed no interest, and I thought of quitting my acting career. But ever since my role in 'Boys Over Flowers', I obtained a lot of strength from the good public response," expressed Lee Min Jung.
The actress also addressed her later-than-average debut in the acting world
. "I first challenged myself with acting at 23 through a theater play, and at 25, I contracted with an entertainment company and began my broadcasting activites. After walking a different path to start my acting career, I had a comparatively late debut when compared to others."
During the interview, Lee Min Jung shared a story about getting shouted at by a director during her debut days.
"I couldn't act to my director's satisfaction, and he ended up shouting at me very loudly during the middle of filming. When I went home that day, I cried a lot."
She has certainly come a long way to get to where she is now, but given her recent rise to prominence and fresh look, I don't think many realize that she will be 28 in a couple months.
