Actress Goo Hye Sun has shared how she deals with negative comments about her work and appearance.
Goo Hye Sun will discuss the topic on the July 18 episode of MBN’s “Kim Joo Ha’s Day and Night.” She revealed that she reads nearly every critical comment instead of ignoring them.
The actress explained that she does not always see criticism as a personal attack. She sometimes studies public reactions as a “social phenomenon” and uses reasonable feedback to improve herself.
When people criticized her pronunciation, Goo Hye Sun said, “I use it as motivation to practice harder.” According to the actress, constructive comments can become a reason for her to work and grow.
She also recalled receiving a direct comment about her appearance for the first time in her 24 year career.
After seeing a comment that called her a “pig,” Goo Hye Sun said, “As soon as I saw it, I stopped eating and immediately started dieting.” Her honest and humorous response reportedly made the studio laugh.
Goo Hye Sun also shared an unexpected story from her recent Himalayan trip. Although it was her first time hiking, she climbed to an altitude of around 4,300 meters and spent up to 16 hours a day walking uphill.
Despite the physically demanding journey, Goo Hye Sun later discovered that she had gained 8 kilograms.
She explained, “I thought I needed to reward myself after going through so much, so I ate every meal I saw.”
She added, “I even ate cookies and sugar cubes meant for the horses,” drawing laughter with her honest account of how much she ate during the trip.
