It’s difficult to picture Chun Woo Hee, a well-known South Korean actress who brought numerous characters to life with her acting skills, experiencing harsh rejection in the past.
The Atypical Family actress didn’t face rejection just once but multiple times and was consistently criticized for being too unattractive.
On June 5, she appeared on the variety show You Quiz on the Block and dished on various things.
Just a few days after her show appearance, a clip from the episode went viral, showing her talking with Yoo Jaesuk and Jo Seho about the rejections she experienced early in her career.
Chun Woo Hee opened up about being told she was ‘too ugly to be an actor’ during multiple auditions.
However, that didn’t crush her spirit, and she pushed herself even harder to chase her dreams.
The 37-year-old actress took some time for self-reflection, identified her strengths, and even created her own portfolio.
She made her debut in 2004 with the movie Love So Divine and 20 years later, she’s one of the successful Korean actresses at the moment.
Fans are baffled to learn that Woo Hee received such harsh criticism and despite being so beautiful, she was considered unattractive.
On the work front, she recently starred in The Atypical Family, with the last episode airing on June 9.
