"I'm Getting Off This Time": Myung Se-bin Steps Off the Fantasy Train Into Her 'Real' Golden Age
Do you remember the girl from the 1998 canned coffee commercial who shyly exclaimed, "I'm getting off this time"? It was actress Myung Se-bin, who shook the hearts of men across the nation and became cemented as the 'Nation's First Love.' She seemed destined to live off morning dew forever, but recently, she stepped before us with a completely new face through tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and her latest drama.
Let's talk about her transformation from a greenhouse flower to a wildflower weathering the storm, and the 'real golden age' she is welcoming now!
1. "I Sold My Bags Because I Couldn't Pay My Credit Card Bills"... Confessions Breaking the 'Mystique'
The Myung Se-bin who appeared on 'You Quiz' on the 26th was not the fairy we knew. With a bright smile, she confessed, "I sold my cherished bags because I couldn't pay my credit card bills," and calmly recounted the financial hardships and period of isolation she endured after her divorce.
What particularly touched the public was her life as a 'florist.' It seems elegant, but in reality, it's a scene of arduous physical labor, carrying heavy water buckets and getting pricked by thorns. The time she spent silently arranging flowers in a corner of a wedding hall, enduring whispers from guests going, "Isn't that Myung Se-bin?", was a period of maturation that tempered her into a resilient wildflower.
2. Trading 'Long Straight Hair' for a 'Short Cut' and 'Real Wife' Role
That tempered inner strength is finally blooming in the currently airing JTBC drama 'I'm a Manager at a Large Corporation Living in My Own Home in Seoul' (working title: 'The Kim Bu-jang Story'). To play 'Park Ha-jin,' the wife of Ryu Seung-ryong (Kim Nak-soo) and the realistic head of the household supporting a precarious middle-aged family, she boldly cut her trademark long straight hair.
But more surprising than her appearance is the flavor of her dialogue.
"I've washed your dad's underwear for 20 years, I think I deserve this much. Don't you think?"
This refreshing line, forming a strange contrast with her past clear voice, seems to declare that she is no longer the 'first love who needs protection.' In her acting, where she leads without being intimidated even by the immense energy of Ryu Seung-ryong, we discover a dependable 'life partner.'
3. Stepping Off the Fantasy Train, Standing Firm on the Ground
Myung Se-bin said on the show, "Innocence and freshness belong to the 20s, not the 40s." The space left by laying down her past glory is now filled with the intensity of 'Myung Se-bin the everyday person' and the sophistication of 'Myung Se-bin the actress.'
Having stepped off the fantasy train, Myung Se-bin is now walking forward step by step, her feet planted firmly on the ground. Wearing the clothes of 'reality' woven with sweat and tears, she looks far more beautiful and confident now than in her 20s.
