Jeon So-min Contemplates Exposure for $20 Million: Insights from 'Kim Ji-seok's Inner Gem'

Actress Jeon So-min has humorously considered exposing herself for $20 million.

On the 4th, the YouTube channel 'Kim Ji-seok's Inner Gem' released a video titled 'Day Drinking with So-min'.

In the video, Jeon So-min discussed her theater challenges, saying, "The audience is intimidating, and it feels like I can hear the breathing of those in the front row," but added, "The sense of accomplishment after performing is different," sharing her thoughts on the pressures of the stage and the fulfillment she gains as an actress.

Jeon also shared her thoughts on marriage, pondering, "Would it be difficult if I don't get married? I wonder if there's a sense of loss from not experiencing what everyone else does." In response, Kim Ji-seok remarked, "Everyone says you should get married at least once. They say you should experience a marital relationship."

When Kim Ji-seok mentioned he was the second of three brothers, Jeon humorously asked, "Is your younger brother handsome? I think there's a guarantee when it's a sibling of someone I know well, rather than a broad blind date." Kim Ji-seok then revealed, "My brother is 10 years younger than me and is getting married next year," eliciting laughter.

During a balance game, Jeon was asked if she would expose herself for $10 million. She humorously replied, "What's the currency value? If it's like now, $10 million isn't enough. Is the exposure from the front or back? I think I'd do it for $20 million and then emigrate." Kim Ji-seok responded, "What's $20 million? You should ask for $50 million since it lasts a lifetime," expressing disbelief.

Observing Jeon, Kim Ji-seok commented, "You've become very calm. You seem enlightened. Did something big happen?" Jeon replied, "I've been thinking a lot lately. I've given up on my dreams." She continued, "It might sound negative, but they say there's a time when you have to let go of your dreams. I think it's that time for me."

She added, "Letting go of it gives you the mindset that 'it's okay not to become something,' and it makes you feel free. I've decided not to set anything specific or try to become something."

Jeon expressed her belief, "Before that, you have to trust yourself. I haven't lived carelessly, so I have faith that I'll work hard in whatever direction I go."

Meanwhile, Jeon So-min recently starred as a cool teacher in the film 'Eighteen Youth' and will appear in the play 'Lungs' this May. 'Lungs' is a two-person play about a couple contemplating having children and what it means to be a 'good person.'
