Actress Park Min Young has revealed that she sometimes takes months to reply to messages, surprising fans after admitting that she still has unanswered messages from her staff members.
On November 6, Park Min Young uploaded a Q&A video titled Q&A Prepared for My Fans on her YouTube channel, Just Parkminyoung, where she answered questions about her daily life, personal habits, and acting career.
During the video, the actress shared an unexpected detail about her communication habits, explaining that she rarely checks her messages.
"One thing about me is that I don't check KakaoTalk very often," she admitted.
Park Min Young then revealed that her staff members had recently complained about how long she takes to respond.
"My staff complained to me again recently. They asked, 'Why haven't you replied to the message I sent in August?'" she recalled.
Her confession revealed that some messages had remained unanswered for several months.
However, Park Min Young explained that her delayed replies are not intentional. Instead, she simply does not spend much time using her phone, especially when she is working.
"I'm not someone who's obsessed with my phone," she said.
She continued, "When I'm filming, I usually leave my phone in the car and only check it when I really need to."
Her explanation offered a glimpse of how she manages distractions while focusing on her acting projects.
During the same Q&A session, Park Min Young also revealed that she often uses her iPad wallpaper to help prepare for a new role.
When working on a drama adapted from a webtoon or another original work, she sometimes sets an image from the source material as her background.
She explained that repeatedly seeing the image helps her think about the character and find her own way of portraying the role.
For example, while preparing for Marry My Husband, she used different webtoon images depending on whether she was filming her character's high school years or adult life.
When she is not preparing for a specific project, her wallpaper may feature her beloved pet Leon or simply a plain color, depending on her mood.
The actress also reflected on her career, sharing that she is celebrating around 20 years in the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, Park Min Young is preparing to return to television through SBS's upcoming romance drama Nine to Six, scheduled to premiere on November 25.
She will play Kang Yi Ji, a highly capable and dedicated career woman who struggles when it comes to romance.
The drama will also feature BTOB's Yook Sung Jae as her co-star.
While fans are looking forward to her upcoming drama, Park Min Young's latest confession has offered a relatable look at her everyday habits, showing that even a busy actress sometimes leaves messages unread for months.
