Choi Hye-sun, who drew attention with her confident and honest appearance in a love reality program, was actually the same as she was seen on the show. I was humble throughout the interview, but I was impressed by how he answered his thoughts clearly.
Choi Hye-sun drew attention as she became the final couple with basketball player Lee Kwan-hee in Netflix's "Solo Hell 3," which ended on January 9 this year. Of the six women, she was the only one who did not come from a beauty pageant, majored in life sciences and is doing a master's degree in the UK, showing a different charm. Above all, he made his own choices regardless of other people's eyes and thoughts, and gained favor with his confident appearance that he did not regret the decision.
She challenged the survival entertainment again with Season 3 of the original Wave entertainment show "Blood Game," which was released on the 15th. It is a program that competes fiercely for the final victory by any means in extreme situations. Choi Hye-sun won love in "Solo Hell 3", but this time, it is an intelligence fight that can survive only by moving strategically at every moment. This is why I am looking forward to new looks that were not seen in "Solo Hell."
Q. How have you been since the end of "Solo Hell 3"?
Choi Hye-sun (hereinafter Choi): After the broadcast, I was very busy submitting my master's thesis in the UK until September. Currently, I'm spending my time doing things I couldn't do and wanted to do while preparing for a job. I couldn't even travel while living in the middle of Europe. I haven't even been to Paris, which is an hour away. That's too bad, so I've been going around since October.
Q. Many people turn to influencer after appearing on the show, are you looking to get a job?
Choi: Yes. I'd like to take advantage of what I've learned. First of all, I see employment in the UK as the number one priority. I'm looking into data analysts, and there are a lot of jobs in the UK that work from home 100%. Also, I have 30 days of paid leave a year and I can freely use unpaid leave, so when I see my friends, they go to Vienna to work out of the blue and look free. If I come to Korea for work, I think I can do it together.
Q. How did you come to appear on 'Solo Hell 3'?
Choi: I received an offer to appear on 'Solo Hell 3' via Instagram message, and I was in the US to intern at the time, so I said, 'Would you wait a month for me? I thought maybe I shouldn't. So I didn't put on makeup and went to a meeting with a light heart, but I even made an appearance. It's fascinating for me, too.
Q. The scene where you say hello to Lee Kwan-hee in 'Solo Hell 3' became the talk of the town with 'a person with high self-esteem'.
Choi: I thought people would be against it. We filmed it in June and it was released after December. In the meantime, even after sleeping for six months, I woke up thinking, 'Should I have endured it?' and 'Should I have just looked at it?' I didn't know it would leave a deep impression. I have to say what I have to say. Haha.
Q. Do you have high self-esteem?
Choi: I'm a little embarrassed, but I think my mindset is healthy. I think I'm good at protecting my boundaries so that I don't hurt others and undermine them. When I was young, I was a very confident kid. I lived in the U.S. until I went to middle school, and I was also racist. Someone put glue on my chair and put it on. I was not good at English, but I told my teacher everything, and I warned him not to do it.
Q. As far as I know, Lee Kwan-hee and Hyun-ker are not real ideal types?
Choi: Actually, Jinseok is closer to his external ideal type. In terms of personality, I think Kwan-hee is a little closer. But I don't think it's meaningful to be your ideal type. Wouldn't it be okay to be someone who respects me and accepts me as I am, someone who can love me as I am? They don't try to change me or reveal things they don't like. I think that'll work. But that's pretty hard.(laughs)
Q. 'Blood Game 3' is a brain survival, how was it compared to 'Solo Hell 3'?
Choi: It was so much fun. There were so many things for each person to learn. Everyone worked really hard, and after we went to the camp, we all got close. It was an honor to be together. It's a big change from the previous season. Even the cast members are shocked. I think it'll be fresh for the viewers as well.
Q. How do you interact with the cast?
Choi: I was a fan of Hong Jin-ho, but when I saw him in person, he had a lot to learn. I got closer to MJ Kim, too. She looks like a maid, but she can't be so girly. I relied on you two the most. Also, Chungju Man was a unique and unexpected person, so I remember it.
Q. What aspects do you want to show viewers through "Blood Game 3"?
Choi: I'm looking forward to it and I'm scared, but in the case of 'Solo Hell', it's a program that dresses up pretty and appeals to your charm. But since "Blood Game" is a program that wants to show the bottom of the human being on the opposite side, I'm looking forward to opening up a new perspective from my existing image.
Q. Do you have any fear of showing yourself in front of the camera?
Choi: I'm actually worried. But I don't know if it's really simple, but I forget if there's a camera all the time. So it's hard to calculate and act. I think everyone is like that.
Q. Would you like to continue broadcasting?
Choi: I like challenges. I think appearing on the show is an opportunity that doesn't come to anyone and doesn't last long. If I think it's an experience that I can't do unless it's at this moment, I don't want to miss it. In the case of "Bloody Game", it was also a favorite program, so it was great to be able to appear this time. It was a useful experience. Even if it's not just broadcasting, I'd like to challenge myself if I have a chance to experience something new.
Q. What if there's an offer to postpone it?
Choi: It's not that he's thoughtless. When I was young, I was more interested in literature and art. I was also interested in movies. So I thought if I could try acting. I enjoyed watching "Bloody Game" so much that I got a chance to try it, but acting might come to me.
Q. This year is just around the corner, do you have any plans for next year?
Choi: There's really nothing. In a way, I feel like I live by the wayside. You might get a call from Hollywood without anyone predicting it, right? I can't get into this job if I don't have it now. If I think like that, I think I'll live my life first. "This is a chance that won't come back to me!" If I think like that, I'm going to catch whatever it is.
Q. forward tabulation?
Choi: First of all, I received so much attention and love unexpectedly that it's been a very grateful year. I keep thinking that it would be nice if I could return that gratitude somewhere. I want to be a person who gives a good influence in any way it does. I'm very thankful and I think it's good to be in a position where I can speak out to people. People in Korea are very sensitive to other people's eyes. If you look at SNS, it's full of perfectly set looks and colorful places. I want to show my natural self as I am. I want to tell you that I just need to be happy without going to a luxury hotel or wearing expensive clothes.
