Quotes

“I received comfort when playing Mi-rae. The drama focuses around the outer beauty, which I am sensitive to because of my job. I am always being judged, so I can relate to Mi-rae and the drama”.

“I decided to try and focus on the inner beauty more than the outer beauty. The drama has made me stronger. I decided to love myself more. I’m sure I shouldn’t be overly confident about myself, but I’ve decided to love myself more”.

“I get hurt when I read nasty comments about me. No one will not be affected by it. This builds up and ends up bringing our self esteem down until we get complimented and then we feel better. Life is that way for everyone and not just actors”.

Im Soo Hyang is an actress who aspires to grow and improve with an unchanging mind. And we all wish to be witnesses to her beautiful transformation throughout.
