In the вҖңTalent You Want to StealвҖқ episode of tvNвҖҷs You Quiz on the Block, aired on the 6th, Han Ji Min appeared as the guest. The actress recalled the difficulty she had to face. вҖңIt wasnвҖҷt just about the movie being a movie with a female lead,вҖқ she shared. вҖңInvestors pulled out because I was the one playing that role, and no distribution company stepped out, so the release got delayed a lot.вҖқ Han Ji Min added, вҖңI was worried that that wasnвҖҷt the image that people expected from me, and I think investors were concerned about the same thing. I get it, though. So I wanted to do an excellent job.вҖқ Yoo Jae Suk asked her, вҖңI heard that you tried all kinds of cigarettes. Is that true?вҖқ This referred to the fact that Han Ji Min was seen smoking a lot in the movie. вҖңAfter I completed the movie, I knew that all the focus would be on me smoking. I mean, from my first scene, I was smoking,вҖқ she answered. She continued, вҖңBut there wasnвҖҷt any place where I could practice (smoking). So I asked the smokers I know to teach me. I didnвҖҷt want to look awkward since a lot of people smoke. I had cigarettes in my mouth all the time.вҖқ Han Ji Min then cheerfully added, вҖңA lot of people ask me if I had quit, and yes, I have.вҖқ The actress recalled the time she shed tears after winning the best actress awards at major film awards. вҖңAt first, only like 10,000 or 20,000 saw the movie,вҖқ she said. вҖңIn that case, the theaters stop screening the movie only after a week or so. At the time, I thought the movie wouldвҖҷve seen better results if I hadnвҖҷt been the one to star in it. I burst into tears, thinking about that moment.вҖқ Source (1)
