Actress Lee Young-ae shared stories from her past, revealing that she filmed over 240 commercials in 17 years.
On the 17th, Lee Young-ae appeared as a guest on MBC's current affairs program 'Son Seok-hee's Questions 3'.
On that day, Son Seok-hee mentioned that Lee Young-ae had filmed over 240 commercials in the past 17 years.
Lee Young-ae responded, "If I were to talk about it, I think it could be that it includes a certain number of times in a one-year contract."
She mentioned that it was possible to fill a day with products she endorsed and had a viewing time for a video titled 'A Day in the Life of Lee Young-ae' featuring her commercials.
In response to the statement "What advertisements show is not reality," Lee Young-ae expressed, "That's right. There are themes and contents suitable for advertisements, so I think I act according to that."
However, reflecting on her numerous advertisements, Lee Young-ae mentioned, "There were many side effects from the commercials," referring to the past credit card crisis.
The credit card crisis was a financial situation that arose in the early 2000s due to indiscriminate issuance and use of credit cards, leading to a surge in debt. At that time, the number of credit delinquents reached millions.
Lee Young-ae said, "It was shocking and heartbreaking," adding, "There were several commercials I decided to stop doing," which resonated with Son Seok-hee.
Meanwhile, Lee Young-ae will appear in the new KBS2 weekend mini-series 'Eun-soo's Good Day' on the 20th.
'Eun-soo's Good Day' is a story about a parent, Kang Eun-soo (played by Lee Young-ae), who wants to protect her family, and a two-faced teacher, Lee Kyung (played by Kim Young-kwang), who accidentally gets involved in a dangerous partnership after obtaining a bag of drugs.
