[Sportschosun, Jo Yoon-seon] Musical actress Kim So-hyun opens up about the severe insomnia she suffered in the past.
On June 29, Kim So-hyun, one of the second special guests on 'Midnight Horror Story Season 6,' will take the stage and add a chilling touch to Monday night. Known for her elegance and as one of Korea's leading musical actresses, she surprised the hosts, who reacted with, "That's unexpected," when they heard she would appear.
Kim So-hyun said she prepared thoroughly for the show by previewing the episode in advance. But after doing so, she became even more frightened and ended up turning to her husband, Son Jun-ho, more often. She joked that this may have improved their relationship even more, drawing laughter in the studio.
She also drew attention by revealing an unexpected past, saying, "I suffered from severe sleep paralysis and insomnia since my school days." She endured intense pain because of ghosts that came every night, but one day she learned a single 'special trick' that helped her overcome years of insomnia overnight. The full story of the remarkable method that even drove away the ghosts and gave her perfect sleep will be revealed on the broadcast.
At the recording site, Kim So-hyun was completely overwhelmed by the flood of terrifying stories and delivered an all-time dramatic reaction. While listening, she said, "What do I do? I can't breathe!" and "I'm so immersed that my throat is drying out," trembling with fear. She even pleaded, "I'm so scared of what's behind me, please put up a wall on the set," and was willing to leave her seat during filming, turning the studio into a scene of laughter.
But as expected from an actress known for her commanding stage presence, she showed a completely different side when introducing her own story and instantly captivated the set. Her fully immersive performance, hard to believe for a first-time guest, highlighted her true talent and raised expectations over whether she can become the show's new ghost-story queen.
Meanwhile, this episode will feature even more varied and powerful ghost stories, including 'Wrong Meeting,' a bizarre tragedy triggered by a chain of bad relationships; 'Open Door,' which reveals a horrifying truth beyond a door that will not close; and 'Our Princess,' a tragedy unfolding in a nightmare after witnessing a horrific accident. Attention is also focused on whether the miraculous 'full score' story can emerge for a second straight week after the first broadcast.
