Actress Goo Hye Sun recently shared her thoughts on wanting to be number one in everything. On the 24th, she appeared on the KBS 2TV variety show Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together, where she talked with Kim Mi Ryeo, Park Won-sook, and Hye Eun-hee about their personal concerns.
During the show, Kim Mi Ryeo expressed her worries, saying, "I have some realistic concerns. Since I have children, if I don't have work, it really affects me, even when I eat." She added, "If I were alone, I could just call a friend and ask for help. But with kids, it’s more complicated. I feel responsible for my family."
Hye Eun-hee responded by saying, "Thinking 'I have to be the one' can be very dangerous." Kim Mi Ryeo agreed, saying, "It's driving me crazy. I have so many thoughts like that."
Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun explained, "Actually, I need to aim for being number one to even get close to that level." She added, "If I set my goals too low, I end up giving up. I have to declare that I want to be number one to reach my goals."
Park Won-sook then shared her concern for Goo Hye Sun, saying, "You wouldn't realize this without going through some pain. It feels like being hit by the Emile Bell over and over."
She continued, "I can't speak about financial struggles, but I have faced the pain of losing a child. There were times I felt I wasn't a good actress, mother, daughter, or neighbor. I cried for days, feeling like a failure. But that pain helped me break out of my shell. Since then, I’ve found happiness and gratitude every day."
She sincerely advised Goo Hye Sun and Kim Mi Ryeo, saying, "I hope you both can find happiness and comfort instead of just aiming for number one or a doctorate. I say this because I see you both as daughters."
