Actress Choi Yeo Jin called out a male actor for their rude behavior during a kiss scene.
On the September 12 episode of Men On Fire, the actress made a rare appearance.
On this day, Choi Yeo Jin revealed that during her long career, there have been many times when she was upset but remembered one moment in which she was particularly furious.
I tried not to bring this up. While working, there are many upsetting situations, but I have a special talent. I can erase unsavory memories, so I usually forget them. But I’ve just now remembered.

Choi Yeo Jin then called out a former co-star. According to the actress, the actor had smoked a cigarette before their kiss scene. Also, the actress revealed that during the kiss scene, the male actor had ended up bruising her pretty badly.
The male actor had bad manners toward other actors. He smoked before a kiss scene. When I tried to look pretty in front of the camera (he’d kiss me so hard), I would end up severely bruised. Also usually, even if actors have studied their characters, the director often gives guidance during scenes. But when the director asked, Can you do it this way? The actor responded by saying, I’ve already filmed nine projects. [sic]

The actress then revealed that this wasn’t the end of the male actor’s transgressions.
He would fix his hair on the set while we were all freezing. Everyone on set would see if he would even greet them. When a heater is on set (in cold weather), a staff member knows to remove it when it’s time to shoot. Despite this, the actor would still yell at staff members to remove it. Because I had kept all of this frustration in, I tried my best to sit as far away from him as possible during one staff outing.
But because we had to do a romantic scene the next day, I tried to mend the relationship, but he told me, Nuna, my agency really hates you. When the director told him that he shouldn’t smoke when filming a kiss scene with an actress, the actor angrily responded by saying that he didn’t want to become a good actor. This angered me so much that I cursed at him in front of the director.

Choi Yeo Jin then stated that the situation was very upsetting, but she apologized to the staff for ruining the vibe, then the actor blew smoke in her face. Choi Yeo Jin revealed she was so upset that she almost slapped him but ended up grabbing his neck.
Next thing you know, my hand was up, but then I thought of what the news headlines would say. They would say I had assaulted him, so I grabbed his Adam’s apple.

Hearing all of this, the show’s hosts expressed outrage over the incident. When asked what ended up happening to the actor and if he was still in the industry, Choi Yeo Jin revealed that he wasn’t and stated that “He disappeared.”
