'54 years old' Uhm Jung-hwa "I think I'm done as an actor, I feel burdened by my age"... 'Cha Jeong-sook' sobbed at #1
In tvN's 'Dance Singer's Wandering Troupe', which aired on the 8th, Kim Wan-seon, Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Hyo-ri, Boa, Hwasa and Hong Hyun-hee spent their first camp night in Yeosu, the second wandering land.
Hyo-ri Lee confirmed the time to Uhm Jung-hwa, saying, "Isn't it time for a drama now?" The filming was the day of the first broadcast of 'Doctor Cha Jeong-suk' starring Uhm Jung-hwa. Uhm Jung-hwa expressed tension, saying, "I'm so nervous."
When Hong Hyeon-hee asked, "Are you nervous even after doing that much?" Uhm Jung-hwa confessed, "The previous drama was difficult. I even thought, 'It's over as an actor'. It was painful." He said, "I was healed while filming this drama." Kim Wan-seon cheered, saying, “If I have fun while doing it, the results are good.”
The members watched the first broadcast of 'Doctor Cha Jeong-suk' together. Then, with a trembling heart, he stopped watching and said, "I'd rather not watch it. I have to go to bed early for tomorrow's performance." The members shouted, “I love you, Jeong Sook,” and touched Uhm Jung-hwa.
However, Uhm Jung-hwa couldn't fall asleep easily and stayed up late checking the viewer's reaction, putting her mind at ease. I also watched the first broadcast that I couldn’t properly watch. Kim Wan-seon said, "Leave your phone there and look at it," and worried that Uhm Jung-hwa would be hurt by malicious comments. He said, "It's 'surprising' that even one person is nervous for such a long time." Hwasa also sympathized, saying, "It can't be helped." Uhm Jung-hwa confessed, "The older I get, the bigger the burden. I think this age puts pressure on me. But I want to do more because my acting is good." Kim Wan-seon encouraged Uhm Jung-hwa, saying, "You have to consciously put down the burden." "You can do it as much as you want.
The next morning, Uhm Jung-hwa saw the news that 'Doctor Cha Jeong-suk' had achieved first place in non-terrestrial TV ratings in the same time slot. Uhm Jung-hwa shed tears of relief. He said "thank you" over and over again. Uhm Jung-hwa went into a room with no one there and sobbed.
Born in 1969, Uhm Jung-hwa made her debut in the 1992 movie 'Marriage Story' and released her first full-length album as a singer in 1993.
