The late actress Choi Jin-sil's good deeds and loyalty were revealed 18 years after her death.
Recently, a video titled Cho Young-goo·Kim Tae-jin·Ha Ji-young·Park Seul-gi·Kim Se-rom, is this combination for real? Laughed then cried: entertainment industry behind-the-scenes revealed for the first time "Reporters" was posted on the YouTube channel "YouTube Ha Ji-young."
The video showed legendary reporters who led the golden age of South Korea's entertainment information programs gathering to talk. With terrestrial broadcaster entertainment programs such as Night TV Entertainment, Section TV Entertainment Communication, and Entertainment Weekly all canceled, the reporters shared the hardships they experienced while active and behind-the-scenes stories they could not bring up on air.
What attracted attention most was the story of Cho Young-goo and the late Choi Jin-sil. Cho Young-goo opened by saying, "I now think a lot about entertainers who have passed away. Isn't it sad?"
Cho Young-goo asked, "Do you know about the incident in which the late Choi Jin-sil almost was kidnapped after taking the elevator to her home?" When other reporters said, "We didn't know," he explained the situation, saying, "There was an uproar. After the incident was reported, about 30 to 40 reporters gathered at the film set to interview the late Choi Jin-sil."
Cho Young-goo said, "At the time, Kim Hye-ja, who was filming with her, warned, 'Do not interview Choi Jin-sil today, and if anyone interviews her, I won't stand idly by.' She stepped up for a struggling junior, but I thought I should do the interview to avoid being criticized. So I sat alone and waited and asked the late Choi Jin-sil, 'Could I do a quick interview?'"
He continued, "The late Choi Jin-sil looked at me and gave me a brief interview only. No one else gave her an interview, but she gave one to me, and I felt a sense of loyalty. Although she had many meetings and shoots and was in a situation where she couldn't do it because of that loyalty, she still gave an interview, and I was truly grateful."
Meanwhile, the late Choi Jin-sil died on Oct. 2, 2008.
