Actress Jin Seo-yeon appeared on TV Chosun's 'Baekban Trip with Huh Young-man' and shared candid stories.

During the broadcast, Jin Seo-yeon spoke about the long period of obscurity she faced after her debut. She revealed a surprising past as a successful online shopping mall CEO. "I ran a shopping mall in college, and it did really well. I made 40 million won a month," she confessed, highlighting her significant financial success at the time.

However, Jin Seo-yeon admitted that despite earning a lot of money, she felt a strong craving for acting. "Even when buying a 500-won snack, I felt like I wanted to act," she explained, recounting why she decided to close down her shopping mall business and pursue acting for 500,000 won per episode. She added that even though her income decreased significantly, she found joy and excitement on set.

When asked why she acts, Jin Seo-yeon replied, "Because it's fun," demonstrating her unique passion for the craft. She also mentioned her friendships with Kim Hee-sun and Han Hye-jin, with whom she recently worked on the drama 'Remarriage & Desires,' and particularly praised Han Hye-jin's stunning real-life beauty.

Netizens watching the show commented, "Actress Jin Seo-yeon is so talented! Successful in business and acting," "Her passion for acting is amazing. I can understand that feeling," and "It's nice to see her complimenting Han Hye-jin."
