[Sportschosun Reporter Jeong An-ji] Actress Ryu Hye-young confessed, "I think I also had low self-esteem."
At the end of the episode of Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC)'s "I Live Alone" aired on the 12th, a preview featuring actress Ryu Hye-young was released.
In the video, Ryu Hye-young introduced herself by saying, "I'm actress Ryu Hye-young, and I've been living alone for 11 years," and showed off her home filled with her own tastes.
Describing it as "a house decorated and lived in according to my own feelings," Ryu Hye-young's home had a calm, dark overall mood. Small, charming items and sculptures were placed throughout, fully revealing her unique sensibility.
She then said she was "keeping things as dark as possible" and drew laughs by revealing her unusual daily routine: even after waking up in the morning, she opens the curtains only a little to let sunlight reach just her plants.
In particular, when Ryu Hye-young saw Wilson, the mascot of "I Live Alone," she avoided its gaze and said, "You're scary." She also admitted, "I'm a coward. I tend to live with the curtains closed," showing an unexpected charm.
She also spoke candidly about her inner struggles. Ryu Hye-young said, "I think I also had low self-esteem," and added, "But one day I thought, 'What am I hiding for? Hye-young, go out there. Just start. You can do whatever you want to do.'"
She also revealed how her life has changed since then. Ryu Hye-young has taken up running and is enjoying a new hobby, but despite saying, "Why is the pace so fast?" she ran at a speed even slower than walking, drawing laughter.
Above all, Ryu Hye-young drew attention by sharing the lesson she learned after a long time: "Don't worry so much about what people think. Others are less interested in you than you imagine. Just go at your own pace. So do what you want to do."
Meanwhile, Ryu Hye-young made her debut in an independent film in 2007 and has steadily built her filmography. She won widespread love for her role as Sung Bo-ra in the drama "Reply 1988" and has since been recognized for her solid acting skills across various films and dramas.
