Jang Young-nam's Unwavering Passion: Filmed Dangerous Scenes While 5 Months Pregnant at 42

Actress Jang Young-nam revealed on TV Chosun's 'Himanman's Feast' the incredible story of her dedication to acting, even while pregnant with her son at the age of 42.

During the broadcast on the 23rd, Jang, who had her son at 42 and is now a mother to a 12-year-old, shared that she continued filming a movie while five months pregnant, keeping her condition a secret from the production team.

She recalled a particularly challenging scene: "There was a scene where I had to go into the sea, carrying the baby on my back, run into the water, and climb onto a small boat." Jang bravely performed this demanding action sequence in the cold ocean despite her pregnancy.
