“It was, however, difficult because I couldn’t sleep. “I don’t think there was a project like this where I filmed while not feeling stressed,” she began. Im Soo Hyang also shared some behind-the-scenes stories from filming the drama. You are more beautiful naturally, just the way you are.” I want to tell them that you have to love yourself for others to know you and that you shouldn’t hate yourself. I want to say you should love yourself more. The messages say that they’re having a hard time at school but that they received strength after watching ‘My ID is Gangnam Beauty,’ or ask what they should do. When asked what she wants to say to other 20-year-olds like Mi Rae, Im Soo Hyang replied, “I receive a lot of messages. There are times when my self-esteem gets low and I get hurt, but thanks to their strength, I don’t veer off course and am doing well. I also have family and friends who tell me I’m the best. Mi Rae has a family that loves her very much. “I was reflected in the way she talks, her laugh, and her gestures. “A lot of myself was reflected in Mi Rae,” said the actress. Im Soo Hyang also drew upon similarities between her and Kang Mi Rae. I thought a lot about these things while filming this drama.” You can’t hope for others to look for you when you don’t love yourself and don’t know your worth. Others acknowledge you when you know your own worth. I think that people without self-esteem don’t shine and that you have to fill yourself with strength in order to shine. Self-esteem is especially important for celebrities. I’m still overcoming those kinds of obstacles. It was like that not too long after my debut. She continued, “There was a time when my self-esteem was at an all-time low. This became a chance for me to become stronger and it was a project where I could grow along with Mi Rae.” I try to let it go, but since I’m human, there are times when I can’t. I have a job where I hear hundreds and thousands of comments a day about my appearance and I get hurt. But through this drama, I felt like I received healing. She explained what she gained from the drama, saying, “As our society became obsessed with outer appearances, it started to lose sight of the inner aspects and judging others based on looks became common. Thanks to ‘My ID is Gangnam Beauty,’ I was able to spend this hot summer in a happy and warm way.”

I feel empty and a lot of her still lingers.
