Actor Park Hae-jun recalled his struggling days.

On the 11th, a video titled "Sung Si-kyung's Meeting l Actors Yoo Hae-jin and Park Hae-jun, who are awkward with each other, drinking together" was posted on the YouTube channel "Sung Si-kyung."

On this day, Sung Si-kyung wondered, "Did you ever think you could become a movie star? What does food matter? Is art happiness? Did you think that way?" Park Hae-jun revealed, "I had a lot of thoughts like 'I want to create art' in my 20s. When I saw stars in movies or on stage, I tended to look away, and if an opportunity came, I felt like I was too busy running away from it."

He added, "I think it was because I lacked confidence. I didn't have the confidence to present myself, so when I was handed a business card on the street, my inclination was much stronger to say, 'I'm not going to do it.'" Hearing this, Yoo Hae-jin laughed and said, "You could do that because you were able to make a living, right? It might have been that way."

Sung Si-kyung asked, "At what point did you start earning money, whether it was from a major production or not?" Park Hae-jun replied, "I felt that being an actor could sustain me when I worked on the project 'Hwacha' and when I split the revenue in the theater as part of a troupe before that," and Yoo Hae-jin added, "This troupe was very democratic. So it was treated much better than other troupes. I didn't receive that much."

At that time, Park Hae-jun was active in the theater troupe "Chaimu," which also included Lee Sung-min, and he revealed he debuted in the film "Hwacha" in 2012 after a long period of obscurity into his 30s. Regarding this, Park Hae-jun said, "At that time, I felt no pressure about such matters because everyone around me was in the same situation. Especially in Daehangno, everyone somehow managed to make a living."

Then, Sung Si-kyung asked, "Once you have a family and age, don't you have to support them?" Park Hae-jun replied, "At that time, I had no kids and my wife was a friend in theater. For us, a monthly income of 100 won was sufficient. We received help from my parents for housing." In response, Yoo Hae-jin said, "At that time, a monthly income of 100 won was livable. The concept in theater is different."
