Korean actress Ku Hye-sun has said she drank wild berry wine to toughen up for her scenes in musicals in her upcoming TV series.Ku made the remark during a press conference held in Seoul on Tuesday for SBS' 16-part drama "The Musical" where she plays Go Eun-bi, a medical student who dreams of becoming a musical actress but gets rejected a number of times due to her lack of experience.Ku started by confessing, "I actually have a bad case of stage fright and my whole body begins to shake because of my nerves.""So the director gave me permission to drink wild berry wine before shooting the scenes I had to perform on stage since I had to sing all of the songs on the show live," she went onto explain.Then with a laugh she added, “I get stage fright only when I'm on a stage and never when I’m working on a regular drama. I'd have just a glass before going on stage though, never to the point where I get drunk."Actor Choi Daniel, who plays genius musical composer Hong Jae, decides to train and help Go Eun-bi. "The Musical," also starring Ock Ju-hyeon, Park Ki-woong and Ki Eun-se, will air every Friday night starting September 2. ※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
