[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Actor Kim Changsuk, who appeared on the MBN variety show 'Modern Family,' shared an anecdote about how she debuted in the entertainment industry.

On the afternoon broadcast of MBN's 'Modern Family' on the 14th, Kim Changsuk was shown going on a trip.

In the broadcast, Kim Changsuk explained the reason she entered the entertainment industry, saying, "I debuted in 1968 when I was a first-year university student," and added, "I was cast whenever I walked down the street, and a friend's uncle was an advertising director who suggested filming a commercial, so I did a wedding-related shoot."

She continued, "When I went to school, they said there was an actor at our school and came to see me," adding, "So I took a talent audition at the broadcasting station."

When actor Park Wonsuk asked, "How were you selected as a (talent)?" Kim Changsuk replied, "I took a practical exam, but they only looked at my face and didn't make me do anything."

She further explained the situation at the time, saying, "Although I became a talent, I didn't even know what a 'cue sign' was."

Park Wonsuk debuted as an MBC public recruitment talent in 1970. She also received a lifetime achievement award at the 2013 MBC Drama Awards.

Meanwhile, MBN's 'Modern Family' is a colorful family observation variety show that offers a glimpse into the lives of stars in various forms, from newlywed couples just starting their households to families who have completed their marriage life through separation.
