Actress Go Min Si shared her heartfelt thoughts about winning the New Actress Award at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards, describing the experience as a dream come true. On November 6, she attended a handprinting ceremony for the awards at CGV Yeouido in Seoul, where she joined fellow stars like Lee Byung-Hun, Jung Yu-Mi, Jo In-Sung, and Jeon Yeo-Bin.

Go Min Si won the prestigious award for her role in The Drug Dealer and expressed how surreal it felt to receive such recognition. “It felt like a dream when I received the award on the stage I had always dreamed of,” she said. “It’s an honor to leave my handprint today. I’m so happy to be here with my seniors.”

She also recalled a funny moment during her acceptance speech, where fellow actor Park Jung-Min jokingly asked, “Why didn’t you mention me?” Go Min Si thanked him for his support.

The young actress was especially touched when senior actress Kim Hye-Soo congratulated her during the ceremony. “Receiving congratulations from Senior Kim Hye-Soo felt like a scene from a movie, and it made me feel like my dream had come true,” she shared. “It felt like a moment from a film that allowed me to dream another dream.”

Reflecting on her time working on The Drug Dealer, Go Min Si shared fond memories from the set. “Even when the scene wasn’t mine, I wanted to stay on set,” she said. “It was fun watching the monitor behind the director, and we all ate from the food truck together. I received many little gifts, like lunch boxes and toothbrushes. These small things helped bring the team together like a family. It was a hot and loving summer.”

Go Min Si also shared her thoughts on her future as an actress, saying, “I want to be an actress who remains curious. I believe that curiosity is what makes an actress charming. I want to keep being curious.”

Former Girl’s Day member Jang Hye Ri (real name Lee Ji In) is making headlines after exposing the dark side of the entertainment industry—revealing that she once received a shocking sponsorship offer from a well-known entertainment company CEO.

On March 3, Jang Hye Ri appeared in a video titled "[NonNonNon] I Heard You Got Wasted and Ruined Yourself?" on the YouTube channel ‘Channel Fixed’ (채널고정해).

During the discussion, broadcaster Kang Byung Kyu opened up about the hidden dangers in the industry, saying, “Even today, there are idols who get invited to drinking gatherings by acquaintances of acquaintances. Some people keep luring them into these situations. We call them ‘devils.’”

Jang Hye Ri then shocked viewers by admitting, “I’ve been to those places before. I even sang there.” She continued, “Even now, I still get offers like, ‘Let’s talk business over drinks’ or ‘You need to build connections this way.’ It happens all the time.”

She also shared how these gatherings have evolved, saying, “Nowadays, it’s not just about drinking. There’s also golf. People keep asking, ‘Do you play golf?’ I don’t drink well, and I don’t enjoy these meetings. But sometimes, I wondered, ‘Do I have to do this to succeed?’”

Then, Jang Hye Ri dropped a bombshell—recalling a shocking moment from her rookie days:

“When I was a rookie, I attended a drinking gathering where a very famous CEO was present. He had even invited male rookies to sing. Then he suddenly told me, ‘If I help you grow, you have to be my girlfriend.’”

She continued, “I was caught off guard and immediately refused. But then he started listing celebrities he had ‘helped’ through these relationships. I was young, and it really hurt my pride. It made me determined to succeed without going down that path. But he told me, ‘You’ll never make it if you don’t do this. This is how the industry works.’”

Even after rejecting him, Jang Hye Ri revealed that she kept running into the CEO over the years. “Since he’s still active in the industry, I would occasionally see him. Every time, he would say, ‘You rejected my offer, and that’s why you’re struggling now.’ But honestly, I have no regrets. I wouldn’t change my decision.”

Meanwhile, Jang Hye Ri, one of the original members of Girl’s Day, has since transitioned into a trot singer. In 2020, she released her single "Seobangnim" and gained attention after finishing fourth place on KBS 2TV’s Trot National Contest.
