Son Eun Seo recently appeared on SBS’s “Strong Heart” and shared a story about how her father opposed her wearing a bikini on screen.
The actress said, “My strict dad, who is an ex-marine, strongly opposed my wishes when I told him I wanted to be an actress. After debuting, I made him upset when the word ‘bikini’ appeared as a related search word to my name.”
The actress donned a bikini for her role in a drama which became popular on the internet.
Eun Seo continued her story, “I spoke with my dad and he just said ‘Oh, okay’. If he had rather scolded me, I would have told him I was merely acting… but I couldn’t. Another related search word was ‘anti[fan]‘. I was very upset when I saw the mean comments, and I thought of my parents right away.”
At that moment, the actress’s father Son Gil Hyun made a surprising appearance. He revealed that he made his appearance a secret even from his daughter and showed his regret at having expressed his true feelings. Son Eun Seo then started crying, unable to continue her words.
The actress wore bikinis for her 2009 movie ‘Memento Mori 5-Suicide Pact” and for KBS’s “Return of the Princess“.
She revealed her feelings about having had to wear a bikini for her movie, saying, “When I first wore the bikini, I was very nervous. I didn’t know how to wear it. I even wondered if I could wear a one-piece. I eventually wore a bikini to match everyone else, but I was very self-conscious so I didn’t even get to look at other actresses.”
She also donned a revealing swimsuit for “Return of the Princess”.
In order to awe her on screen crush, the actress, playing ‘Ye Na’, had to wear a bikini to reveal her body.
Son stated, “At the time, when I heard what my first scene was about, I was very shocked. I was very nervous and burdened at having to film with Hwang Shin Hye, who has a great figure. I always thought to myself, ‘I have to work out even harder and take care of my body’. I just tried to film comfortably.”
She also gained much attention for revealing her bare face for the first time in the drama.
