On the October 18 broadcast of the tvN variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereafter 'You Quiz'), actress Yum Hye-ran made a guest appearance.

Why Can't She Ask for Contact Information from Top Directors?

Yum Hye-ran is a top choice for directors like Park Chan-wook and writers like Kim Eun-sook. However, due to her shy nature, she finds it difficult to ask for their contact information. She explained, "How can I ask? It feels like I'm saying, 'Please cast me in your next project.'"

Why Was She Surprised by Park Chan-wook's Text?

Yum also shared a story about receiving a text from Park Chan-wook after filming 'Decision to Leave'. She said, "I was working on another project when I received a text saying, 'Good luck with your first shoot.' It was signed 'Park Chan-wook', and I was so surprised I jumped up. I hadn't even asked for his contact information by the end of 'Decision to Leave'."

The Real Reason Behind "Please Don't Reply"

Yum confessed, "I sent a reply, but I never know how to end a conversation with such esteemed individuals." She continued, "I want to respond and share more, but if they reply again, I feel compelled to keep the conversation going. I worry I'm taking up too much of their time." Ultimately, she sent Park a message saying, "Thank you so much. Please don't reply."
