[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Actress Kim Seo-hyung spoke about why she has many female fans.

On the 17th, the lead actors Lee Sung-min and Kim Seo-hyung of the movie "Mr. Zoo: The Missing VIP" appeared on SBS PowerFM's "Park Sun-young's Cinetown."

On that day, a listener expressed her fandom to Kim Seo-hyung, saying, "I'm a woman, but I really like actress Kim Seo-hyung."

DJ Park Sun-young asked, "Is it better to hear this from female fans than from male fans?" Kim Seo-hyung replied, "Yes. It's not something you hear easily. I think it's because of the strength the characters give. It feels good."

Another listener, also a woman, praised Kim Seo-hyung, saying, "I like you so much, unnie. You are a Hollywood-type actress." Kim Seo-hyung responded, "Sorry in front of senior (Lee Sung-min)," but added humorously, "Then please send me to Hollywood," bringing laughter.

Kim Seo-hyung also explained about showing a down-to-earth and cute charm instead of the charisma and coldness her previous characters had portrayed.

She said, "I think people understand that a character is just a character. Sometimes when I appear on broadcasts and show a different side, those who know me now all understand."

Kim Seo-hyung debuted as a KBS 16th public recruitment talent in 1994 and gained recognition through appearances in SBS dramas such as "Temptation of Wife" and "Salaryman Chohanji." In 2018, she left a strong impression on the public by playing the role of Kim Joo-young in JTBC's "Sky Castle."
