On tvN’s February 11th broadcast Take the block quizShin Se Kyung appeared as a guest and talked about her academic background and personality.
Host Yoo Jae Suk spoke about her student years, saying: “I heard that during middle school you were always in the top 10 of the entire year and that you studied English on your own.”
He went on to mention his recent experience shooting abroad for the film Humsharing an anecdote: “When filming abroad, Shin Se Kyung also acted as an interpreter. Jo In Sung reportedly said that he was so grateful that he wanted to give her money.” Yoo Jae Suk then added, “You have the image of a very capable and sharp person in everything you do. What are you really like?”
In response, Shin Se Kyung revealed a more cautious side of herself.
“I’m actually very shy in many ways,” he said. “I’m the type who repeatedly knocks on a stone bridge and yet decides not to cross it. I only take safe routes. I’m always careful about my words and actions, and when I speak, I tend to muffle my statements a lot.”
Yoo Jae Suk laughed and agreed, referring to the fact that he often adds qualifiers such as: “This may not be accurate as it is from my childhood memory,” OR “This is just my personal opinion.” He commented, “In our business, no matter how careful you are, unexpected situations can still arise,” expressing empathy towards his cautious personality.
Known for her composed image and articulate speech, Shin Se Kyung once again impressed viewers, not only with her academic background but also with her thoughtful and prudent attitude towards her career.
