On July 27th, the YouTube channel 'A-Class Jang Young Ran' featured a special visit to Kim Sae Rom’s home by Jang Young Ran, Park Seul Gi, and Ha Ji Young. They shared their personal experiences with celebrities, including some surprising stories.
Jang Young Ran talked about her reporter days, saying, “We stayed in the industry through hard work. Reporters don’t have personal lives. If there’s a promise with friends and a 'Hyun Bin CF shoot' comes up, you have to go immediately.”
Kim Sae Rom, Ha Ji Young, and Park Seul Gi also discussed tough moments with celebrities. Kim Sae Rom recalled a senior celebrity who made fun of her in front of others and tried to hit her after filming. Park Seul Gi shared that a male actor slapped her manager for being late because of a live radio show.
Despite these stories, the team wanted to hear about positive experiences. Kim Sae Rom talked about Jo In Sung, saying, “Years ago, during an interview, he greeted me with a deep bow and said, ‘Hello, Sae Rom.’ I thought he must be a really nice person.”
Ha Ji Young also had a touching story about Jo In Sung. She remembered, “On the day I was discharged, I went for an interview. Everyone was focused on Jo In Sung. I asked him, ‘What’s the first line?’ He lowered his microphone and asked, ‘Have you been well?’ It was very sweet.”
When Park Seul Gi asked if Ha Ji Young would talk about Kim Hye Soo, Ha Ji Young shared their special bond. She said, “In 2007, after sending off Kim Jong Min to the army, I mentioned wanting home-cooked food. Kim Hye Soo unexpectedly invited me to her home. Later, she ran after me to get my phone number so she could invite me for a meal. She even cooked for me.”
Ha Ji Young added, “Kim Hye Soo was very supportive. She bought 2/3 of the seats at my performances so her friends could come throughout the month. I’m very thankful to her.”
