“I spurned myself to come out because I was told I was 24 years older” Goo Hye-sun reveals the secret behind her casting in ‘Boys Over Flowers’ after 15 years
Actress and film director Ku Hye-sun appeared as the original 'Hype Girl' in 'Hype Boy Scout' and revealed various episodes.
Ku Hye-sun appeared as a surprise guest on ENA's 'Hype Boy Scout', which aired on the afternoon of the 22nd. The first celebrity meeting since the opening of Unicorn Entertainment was held. The main character was none other than Ku Hye-sun. Before she appeared, the MCs raised curiosity by explaining, "She was the original high school girl. She rose to stardom right away with just one photo."
Along with the OST of the KBS2 drama 'Boys Over Flowers', Ku Hye-sun shyly walked towards the MCs. Tak Jae-hoon welcomed the post, saying, "There was a famous person here," and joked about Ku Hye-sun wearing a beanie, saying, "The weather has warmed up a lot, but I came using an insulating rice cooker."
In the past, Ku Hye-sun became famous as an Internet ulzzang through a single photo. When asked about her current situation, Ku Hye-sun replied, "I attended college and graduated. I am 20 years older than my classmates."
Ku Hye-sun has produced many films as a director. Tak Jae-hoon asked him, “Is there anyone among the cast of ‘Hype Boy Scout’ who you would like to act with as the male lead?” After thinking about it, Goo Hye-sun asked, "What genre is the movie?" and said, "It's a sad love. There's a kiss scene, too," causing VV girl Yoo-jeong's expression to frown. Ku Hye-sun reluctantly chose Jang Dong-min.
Ku Hye-sun honestly confessed, “I have produced many movies so far, but they have not been successful.” Tak Jae-hoon made everyone laugh by saying, “Why are you complaining to us?” Ku Hye-sun showed a somewhat serious look, saying, “I was greedy to express the writerly things I have in a movie.” Jang Dong-min and Tak Jae-hoon sighed, saying they were too serious. Regarding Goo Hye-sun's popularity, Shin Gyu-jin said that she benefited greatly from the box office success of 'Boys Over Flowers.' He then asked, “How was the role of Geum Jan-di cast?” Ku Hye-sun attracted attention by revealing the secret story behind Geum Jan-di's casting for the first time on 'Hype Boy Scout'.
He expressed his disappointment, saying, "The people there said that I was old. I was 24 years old at the time. Even though it was okay to say it when I was not there, you didn't bother to say it in front of me." He continued, "I can laugh about it now, but at the time, the comment 'I'm old' struck me as quite upsetting. I stood up on the spot and said, 'I don't have to do this, so I'll go.'" He recalled his bold times. The author told the drama-like casting episode by holding Goo Hye-sun's hand as she stood up and saying, "This is the character we had in mind for Geum Jan-di."
