[OSEN=Park Ha-young] On the October 2 episode of MBC’s entertainment show “Radio Star” (hereinafter referred to as ‘RaSe’), Kim Hye-eun revealed that she purchased her drama costumes with her own money.
During the “Weekend Family” special, Shin Hyun-jun, Kim Hye-eun, Kim Jung-hyun, and Choi Tae-joon appeared as guests.
On this day, Kim Hye-eun caught attention by mentioning a scene where she had to tackle Kim Jae-jung in a special appearance. She said, “I had to tackle Kim Jae-jung. I didn’t want to do it because he has so many fans. Who would want to do that? The director pleaded with me a lot, and I couldn’t sleep the night before. I felt so pressured,” she confessed.
However, her kissing scene with Kim Jae-jung became a ratings hit. Kim Hye-eun proudly stated, “It trended in real-time searches.”
Moreover, since she played a supporting role alongside Park Seo-joon in the drama “Itaewon Class,” she confessed that “the costume expenses were the highest.” She continued, “It was also available on OTT. In other dramas, I could style with clothes similar to luxury brands, but since it’s on OTT and broadcast globally, I didn’t want to risk wearing similar clothes and facing criticism, so I bought everything with my own money. If I needed clothes that fit my role, I bought them with my money. I spent way more on clothes than my salary,” which surprised everyone.
Kim Hye-eun added, “After all that spending, the biggest gain was that Seo-joon and the other actors came to my house for a party. At that time, my daughter was a middle schooler going through puberty and had a crush on Seo-joon. My daughter gained beautiful memories from that.”
