The actress Moon Ga-Young has fascinated the public with her elegant presence and versatile performances in recent years, but her journey to celebrity lasts two decades, and has started far from Korea.
In the episode of April 9 of Tvn “Interview on the block”, Moon joined the conductors Yoo Jae-Suk and Jo SE-Ho for the special “desperate Battle”, where she opened her origins as a child actress, her first struggles and how she grew up through everything.
A surprising beginning in Germany
When asked about his debut, Moon shared a story that few could know. “I was born in Germany and moved to Korea when I was 10. I started acting immediately after the arrival”, He explained. His actor debut arrived at a young age, but his first meeting with the camera was even earlier. “At about five or six years, I was chosen on the street in Germany to model an announcement of children’s clothing”, he said. “At the time there were not many Asians, and I remember having had a lot of fun. My mother told me that once I told myself I liked the sound of the camera viewer.”
From that first moment, a love was born for a lifetime for the performance.
No pause, but not even a great break
Yoo Jae-Suk was surprised to learn that Moon had never made a break in his 20-year career. “So is your twentieth debut anniversary this year?” He was amazed. Moon nodded, confirming that he had continued to work constantly since childhood.
But the path was not without difficulty. Moon admitted that he felt neglected as a child actress, despite being active during what many consider the golden age of the childish actors in Korea, a period that has also launched the careers of stars such as Park Eun-Bin, Lee Se-Young and Yeo Jin-Goo.
“Most of the dramas at the time began with children’s actors for the first episodes. It was extremely competitive”, he said. “Even in that landscape, going up was really difficult. I didn’t play an important role that left a great impression, and this made me feel sad when I was younger.”
A touching meeting and remember from the set
Moon also remembered a recent moment that reminded her that she arrived. “During filming ‘My dear Nemesi’I worked with the Veterana Ban Hyo-Jung actress. We had recited together 19 years ago “Hometown above the hill”,“ he said.
Ban remembered vividly, not only as a child actor, but as a young student who diligently studies on set with his mother always by his side. “He also remembered how I studied in the car between shoots and travels back and forth according to the exams. It was really touching”, Shared moon.
Honest reflections on a long road
When she was asked if she had ever felt anxious for her progress in the sector, Moon replied with peace of mind, “Yes, absolutely. Especially in my younger years, when I don’t feel like myself making the type of impact that others were. I continued, but sometimes I wondered if it were enough. “
Now known for the roles acclaimed in “True beauty” AND “My dear Nemesis”, Moon Ga-Yung is finally receiving recognition for which he has worked so long.
Moon Ga-Yung’s journey reminds us that success is not always rapidly, even for those who start early. Her consistency, passion and silent determination led her to the starting point, from a street model in Germany to a leader actress in Korea. While celebrating 20 years in the sector, its history is a touching testimony of the growth, resilience and beauty of flowering in your time.
