Actress Bae Jong-ok (61) pointed out the 'uncomfortable industry culture' of that time.

Recently, a video titled '"Do You Think of Your Ex-Boyfriend?" A Truth Game of Sisterly Chaos' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Bollbbalgan Nyonnyonnyon'.

In the video, Bae Jong-ok shared her thoughts while on a trip with Byun Jung-soo and Yoon Hyun-sook, drawing attention.

While enjoying various games, they even played a truth game using Jenga. The Jenga piece Bae Jong-ok picked had the question "Do you think of your ex-boyfriend?" written on it, to which she firmly replied, "I don't. Of course, it's a lie to say I don't think about it at all, but I have no lingering feelings for the person I broke up with."

In particular, when asked about the moment her illusions about the opposite sex were shattered, she said, "After becoming an actress, all illusions about the opposite sex were broken," and added, "I don't know why male actors made vulgar jokes in our time. I hated it so much that I really didn't want to go to the broadcasting station except for work."

Byun Jung-soo agreed, saying, "I feel the same way. It was so different from what male actors imagined," and added, "I often thought, 'How can they act like that?'" Yoon Hyun-sook bluntly remarked, "If it were in today's era, that would be sexual harassment."

Bae Jong-ok pointed out, "That's the Me Too movement," and then reflected, "Was the culture back then particularly like that?" Byun Jung-soo added, "It seems so. I think they thought that being able to talk about such things made them look 'strong'."
