[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Actress Kim Hye-jun, who gained public love for her ambitious queen role in the Netflix original 'Kingdom,' showcased her charm.

On the 17th, Kim Hye-jun appeared as a guest on MBC FM4U's 'Good Morning FM Jang Sung-kyu (Good Morning)'.

On the broadcast, Kim Hye-jun said, "I am twenty-six years old this year. I debuted in the winter when I was twenty-one. I have appeared in 15 works over six years. I thought I rested a lot, but it seems I worked without resting."

She continued, "I was cast in the movie 'Minority' after beating a 500:1 competition rate. I naturally thought I wouldn't make it, so I was very stunned. I was so happy that I couldn't express it well. I was dumbfounded," recalling the memory at that time.

Kim Hye-jun said, "(During the filming of Kingdom) wearing a gache (traditional wig) was too heavy and pressed on the crown of my head. During the Season 1 shoot, I wore the gache for too long, which caused my crown to be rubbed raw, so I went to the hospital. The hair loss was about the size of a 100-won coin," evoking sympathy from listeners.

She added, "Fortunately, when I went to the hospital, I was able to recover quickly. After treatment, strong and stiff new hair grew."

When DJ Jang Sung-kyu asked who her role model was, Kim Hye-jun answered, "Bae Doo-na." She said, "There is a path I want to follow, but the senior I want to resemble is senior Bae Doo-na."

Meanwhile, Kim Hye-jun debuted in 2015 with the web drama 'Daese Neun Baekhap'.
