Actress Park Ha Seon opened up about past mistreatment at an audition during her early debut days.
On December 9 episode of MBC's television show "Hidden Eye," the show explored the topic of "workplace mistreatment."
During the broadcast, the hosts watched a video highlighting various forms of mistreatment by the CEO of a small company, sparking anger among the cast members.
When asked, "Have you experienced mistreatment during your early debut days?" Park Ha Seon looked at the camera and cryptically addressed someone, saying, "How are you? Are you doing well?"
Park Ha Seon then shared a painful memory from her past, revealing that an assistant director had once thrown an ashtray at her during an audition.
The actress began, saying, "I almost got hit by an ashtray once. I went to an audition, leaving home early to avoid traffic jams. I arrived well ahead of time and went in, but as soon as I got there, something came flying at me. I ducked, and when I looked, the ashtray was shattered. The assistant director yelled, 'Why are you late?' Even though I was upset, I apologized right away."
She continued, "When I explained, 'There was traffic,' the assistant director shouted back, 'Of course, there's traffic in Gangnam!'"
Despite arriving on time, she said, the assistant director lashed out at her unfairly.
Park Ha Seon revealed it was an audition for a famous film, adding, "I responded calmly at the time, finished the audition, and cried afterward. My manager reassured me, saying we hadn't arrived late. But the emotions hit me later, and I cried so much in the van. Unfortunately, incidents like that have happened too often," and bitterly smiled.
