This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
"Radio Star" Im Soo-hyang revealed the secret of how she was cast in writer Im Sung-han's "Shin Gi-saeng-ryeon".
Im Soo-hyang appeared on MBC's "Radio Star," which aired on the 24th, and recalled, "'Shin Gi-saeng-ryeon' was my first leading role. I auditioned then. It was 2,000 to 1. All the rookie actresses applied. The audition lasted for eight hours. Seonghun had already been cast as the male lead first, so they told us to stand together" as she remembered the time.
She added, "Before going to the audition, I analyzed the female lead characters written by writer Im Sung-han. Many were graceful and the traditional devoted-wife type. I was 20 years old at the time, so I acted demurely. The writer watched and asked if I was naturally that feminine and modest," she said with a pleased smile.
The MCs teasingly asked whether looking older helped. Im Soo-hyang bristled but also boasted, "That? It helped. Actually, at the time I was playing a high school girl in 'Paradise Ranch' and was cast simultaneously in 'Shin Gi-saeng-ryeon.' They were airing at the same time, and many people didn't know they were the same person," she said proudly.
