Min-si seemed like a great actress who is moving forward strongly in her career.” He added, “Then we found out that she didn’t start out as an actress but had held many other jobs. In fact, she worked at a company before.”
It was revealed in this interview that she previously worked as a wedding planner. Acknowledging this, Na PD said, “Yes, this company may seem like nothing to others, but we have a clear structure. The hierarchy is very dense. We were looking for someone who could adapt to the position while still doing their best. Then we found out about Min-si’s fascinating job history.”
