[Sportschosun Jung Yoo-na] Actress Go Joon-hee opened up about the harsh comments she received after appearing on a variety show and her struggles with speaking, as she took a speech class.
On the 22nd, a video titled "Go Joon-hee, who was criticized for not being able to speak on a show... Actually, the story is... | Speech | How to Speak Well" was uploaded to Go Joon-hee's YouTube channel.
That day, Go Joon-hee explained why she came to the speech academy, saying, "I get nervous on variety shows, and there are situations where I can't speak well," and "I came because I wanted to learn how to get through those kinds of situations."
Go Joon-hee also confessed about her usual personality, saying, "I'm very shy and tend to think a lot," and "I used to have severe variety show anxiety." She added, "Now I'm taking on variety shows with an open mind."
In particular, the production team brought up a recent talk show appearance and said, "People had mixed reactions," to which Go Joon-hee looked back on the broadcast, saying, "I was very satisfied... I thought I was really on fire that day."
After watching her, the speech expert analyzed Go Joon-hee's speaking style, saying, "She tends to talk at length without getting to the point," and "She may come across as lacking empathy and reactions to what the other person says." While monitoring the broadcast footage together, the expert also pointed out, "She didn't respond to the situations the comedians set up. And even though everyone was laughing, her expression was completely blank."
Go Joon-hee responded, "I'm not a cool person by nature. I've been hearing for 20 years that if I just sit still, people think I'm cold and hard to approach," expressing her frustration.
After learning about facial expressions, empathy, how to end sentences, and how to ask questions through the lesson, Go Joon-hee said, "It was exactly the time I needed today," and "As the teacher said, I realized I need to respond faster and show bigger reactions."
"If there was any misunderstanding, please let go of your anger," she said. "I was imagining the situation, but today I learned for the first time that it could have looked like I was off on my own. I'll make good use of everything I learned from now on," she vowed.
