Im Soo-hyang Opens Up About Her Role in 'Run for Your Life 2' and YouTube Challenges

Actress Im Soo-hyang recently shared her thoughts on appearing in the show 'Run for Your Life 2.'

On the 6th, the YouTube channel 'Kkondaehee' released a video titled '[Let's Eat] Kkondaehee's Biggest Crisis with Im Soo-hyang from Busan's Dalmaji Hill and a Meal of Kimchi Pork.'

In the video, Im Soo-hyang named the drama 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty' as a turning point in her career. She said, "Before, I had many adult fans, but after the drama, many younger fans started to like me. It was so popular that it was hard to film. It was the first time I felt that."

Im expressed her gratitude, saying, "When young fans idolize me, who is not an idol, I wonder why, but I am thankful."

Kim Dae-hee commented, "I heard Im Soo-hyang is easygoing, but she seems a bit reserved." Im Soo-hyang candidly replied, "I think I'm just nervous."

When asked about her current activities, Im Soo-hyang revealed, "I've been running a lot along the Han River lately. I'm currently appearing on the running program 'Run for Your Life.'" She added, "Before the program, I had never run before, but the production team thought I was good at exercising."

Im Soo-hyang admitted, "I'm really not good at exercising and only do workouts to fit into dresses. I never did cardio. I feel sorry that I might not be able to become the strongest crew because of me."

Recently, Im Soo-hyang launched her own YouTube channel and expressed her concerns, saying, "My subscriber count isn't increasing." Kim Dae-hee advised, "Just keep at it for at least a year."

In response to Im Soo-hyang's comment that she uploads content every two weeks or once a month, Kim Dae-hee remarked, "Quit it. With that mindset, you won't succeed. This world is harsh."

Regarding her attempt at a typical 'actress vlog,' Im Soo-hyang admitted, "It failed. The title is 'A Fake Life.' Vloggers are amazing. To film waking up, you have to turn on the camera and pretend to sleep again. You have to brew coffee three times to capture it from different angles. It's impossible to be 100% real."
