On KBS 2TV's first medical storytelling entertainment show, 'Celebrity Doctor's Secrets,' the passion and bittersweet moments of actress Kang Soo-yeon, who won the 'first Korean' Best Actress award at an overseas film festival before global stars Jeon Do-yeon and Youn Yuh-jung, will be revealed.

On the 22nd (today) KBS2 'Celebrity Doctor's Secrets' will unveil the life and death of actress Kang Soo-yeon, who led the globalization of Korean cinema. Director Byun Young-joo, who attended as a special guest that day, said, "Kang Soo-yeon is an actress who grew up with us for those in their 50s and 60s. She is my life actress," recalling that "while high teen stars were dominating photo cards, Kang Soo-yeon had already won awards at overseas film festivals in her 20s." Lee Chan-won expressed admiration by noting, "She won it much earlier than Jeon Do-yeon or Youn Yuh-jung." Lee Nak-jun, the original creator of the drama 'The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call,' was also surprised, saying, "I thought our country had only started winning recently, but that wasn't the case." However, despite being nominated for the Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival for Im Kwon-taek's 'The Receiving Man' in 1987, Kang Soo-yeon could not attend. Even Im Kwon-taek visited Venice but had already left for another location on the announcement day.



Meanwhile, episodes about Kang Soo-yeon’s first film with 'Korean cinema maestro' Im Kwon-taek, 'The Receiving Man,' will also be revealed. Jang Doyoun noted, "The just turned twenty Kang Soo-yeon kept replaying 'that scene,'" showcasing her method acting with heavy breathing. Lee Chan-won jokingly pointed out, "Wait a minute, our program is rated for ages 15 and up... is this allowed? This seems a bit suggestive," causing laughter as it was misunderstood as a 'restricted scene.' Jang Doyoun confidently remarked, "If it's that kind, I can do even better," prompting more laughter. The much-discussed 'that scene' will be revealed in the actual broadcast.

The 16th episode of 'Celebrity Doctor's Secrets,' the first medical storytelling entertainment show in Korea that explores the secret lives and deaths of historical celebrities, featuring actress Kang Soo-yeon, will air on the 22nd (Tuesday) at 8:30 p.m. on KBS 2TV. (Photo provided by 'KBS2')
