Jang Young-nam revealed her extreme professionalism on 'Gourmet Heo Yeong-man's Baekban Journey,' saying that when she was 42 and pregnant with a son, she hid the pregnancy and carried out a perilous sea action scene.
On the 23rd episode, TV CHOSUN 'Gourmet Heo Yeong-man's Baekban Journey' (hereinafter "Baekban Journey") headed to Tongyeong with actress Jang Young-nam.
Jang Young-nam said she gave birth to her now 12-year-old son at age 42 and recalled the time when she was in the early stages of pregnancy. She confessed that during filming of the movie 'Mayor of Busan' she was five months pregnant but kept it a secret from the production team until the end for fear it would interfere with her acting.
The scene Jang Young-nam had to film at the time was a high-difficulty action sequence that could have been very dangerous for a pregnant woman. Jang Young-nam said, "There was a scene where I had to go into the sea during the scene, carry the child on my back, run through the sea and climb onto a small wooden boat."
She risked extreme shooting while five months pregnant, entering cold seawater, running and even climbing onto a heavy small wooden boat. This kind of confession suggested her harrowing fighting spirit as a "mother actress" who risked her life beyond mere acting.
