Actress Shin Se-kyung (35) shares her thoughts on fame.

On the 331st episode of tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' airing at 8:45 PM on the 11th, guests include 'the first Korean' Ghanaian ambassador to Korea, the '2026 Bakery World Cup' winning team known for their 'Turtle Ship Bread', profiling experts Kwon Il-yong and Pyo Chang-won, and actress Shin Se-kyung.

True to her name, which means 'delicate', Shin Se-kyung's story will be revealed. As a first-generation celebrity YouTuber who edits her own videos, Shin Se-kyung will share behind-the-scenes stories of her 'One Month in Paris' series recently released on YouTube. She meticulously reviews each video and even gets feedback from friends, highlighting the challenges of her 'handcrafted editing' process.

The behind-the-scenes of the movie 'Humint', filmed on location in Latvia for three months, will also be unveiled. From episodes of seeking out local eateries with co-stars Jo In-sung, Park Jung-min, and Park Hae-joon, to acting as an interpreter for fellow actors, earning a comment from Jo In-sung that he wanted to give her a little extra money, the stories add intrigue. Known for her love of food, Shin Se-kyung also shares her 20-year baking hobby, bringing homemade bread to the set, sparking curiosity about Yoo Jae-suk's reaction.

Debuting at age 9 as a poster model for Seo Taiji's album, Shin Se-kyung has spent more than half of her 28-year acting career in the industry. She reflects on the fame that followed her sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof', describing it as "a huge and sharp knife", and candidly shares why she has become cautious with her words and actions, contrary to her straightforward image.

Episodes showcasing her cautious habits and meticulous nature, where 'double-checking' is routine, will also be shared. Yoo Jae-suk reportedly gave her the nickname 'Seomse-kyung' (a play on her name meaning 'delicate') after witnessing this. Shin Se-kyung's sincere stories about shaping her life through baking, reading, and acting at her own pace draw attention.
