'You Quiz on the Block' Shin Sae-kyeong was startled by the nickname 'Mokdong goddess' surrounding her and repeatedly waved her hand in refusal.
On the 11th episode aired, tvN 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz') featured actress Shin Sae-kyeong from the film 'Humint'. Her YouTube channel, which features various sensibilities of hers with baking and pastry making as a hobby, was enjoying popularity. Shin Sae-kyeong said, "When I watch the footage, it takes an enormous amount of time cutting and pasting each piece. And I keep censoring to see if there are any problems, if an acquaintance misspoke," showing a particular mindset. She said, "And I get confirmation from acquaintances who appear with their voices to see if anything makes them uncomfortable. That's why I started editing myself," which made Yu Jae-seok laugh.
Shin Sae-kyeong, who appeared in the film 'Humint', reportedly prepared a food truck with Zo In-sung and served the production staff directly. Shin Sae-kyeong said, "Zo In-sung suggested it. We bought the ingredients and cooked to serve meals to the production staff. Park Jeongmin and Park Hae-jun were in charge of buying and preparing the ingredients, and I made the fried rice. Park Hae-jun came later and told me to add some seasoning, so it was deliciously completed," showing that it was not simply out of pocket spending but heartfelt effort.
That day Shin Sae-kyeong brought the bread she had baked to the You Quiz set and gifted it to the production staff. Yu Jae-seok, known as a bread fanatic, immediately approved and praised Shin Sae-kyeong, showing her baking skills were remarkable. However, her interest in baking came from deep thoughts about life as the celebrity Shin Sae-kyeong rather than anything else.
Shin Sae-kyeong said, "It's not even good to just think about myself for a long time. When I'm stressed, I have to do something. Baking was good for that. You keep thinking and stay in the present. When baking, measurements are really important so you end up looking at only those numbers," describing her unique way of calming her mind.
Debuting at age 9 in a Seo Taiji music video and widely known after appearing as the young Choi Seo-hee in the drama 'Land' in her teens, Shin Sae-kyeong shocked viewers in her early 20s with her distinctive deadpan acting and an unforgettable final scene in 'High Kick Through the Roof'. Having entered fame without really feeling its impact, she said she thought she needed to manage her mind better. For that reason, even while working a lot after the sitcom, she took time off to reflect on herself.
Shin Sae-kyeong said, "I thought fame is like a sword. If you swing it wrong, it could be really bad. My family was also cautious because they were called 'Shin Sae-kyeong's parents.' It's an energy-consuming job. There is no shortcut in that regard," offering a mature answer.
Meanwhile, Yu Jae-seok asked, "They say she's the Mokdong goddess and the second best-looking student at Shinmok High School with Park Bo Gum," Shin Sae-kyeong said, "I'm just a person from Mokdong," and added, "It's not like that at all. What they say about Park Bo Gum is accurate. Park Bo Gum is older than me. But I know Park Bo Gum is very famous," saying Park Bo Gum's fame was tremendous.
