Seo Soo-min, 'Agent Kim Reactivated' star, works part-time at takoyaki shop

Actress Seo Soo-min, who earned widespread affection for her role in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated', is drawing attention by revealing her unexpected recent activities.

After wrapping filming for the drama, she caught eyes by sharing that instead of following a glamorous entertainment industry schedule, she is spending her daily life working a part-time job at a takoyaki shop.

On the 29th, a video titled "The Nation's Daughter working a takoyaki part-time job after 'Agent Kim Reactivated'" was released on the YouTube channel 'One Mic'.

Appearing in the video, Seo calmly stated, "After the filming of 'Agent Kim Reactivated' ended, I have been spending my time working a part-time job," adding, "I am even working at a takoyaki shop right now."

She also explained why she chose an ordinary daily life rather than hiding her identity after becoming known through her character in the drama.

Seo shared, "Because I don't hide my face, I think people think I look like someone else. There are even customers who talk about 'Agent Kim Reactivated' in front of me. I am making takoyaki with a grateful heart."

In particular, she revealed an episode regarding her first meeting with the takoyaki shop owner.

She said, "At first, I didn't tell the owner that I am an actress. But one day, they suddenly asked, 'Do you happen to appear in Agent Kim Reactivated?' When they asked why I was here, I said, 'I came because I wanted to work a part-time job.'"

She continued with a laugh, "I originally love takoyaki."

Her attitude toward acting also influenced her decision to start the part-time job.

She explained, "I don't really like sitting idly just because the filming of 'Agent Kim Reactivated' is over. I started it because I felt like I should be doing something more."

Rather than adhering to the image typically associated with being an actress, she chose a life of staying active and gaining experience.

She also revealed her family's reaction to her appearance in 'Agent Kim Reactivated'.

Seo stated, "My father kept crying while watching the drama. My mother watched the first episode, but perhaps because it was too heartbreaking, she went into her room and couldn't watch any more."

She continued, "Many of my friends didn't know I was acting, so their reaction was 'What?'. Friends who knew I was acting were worried at first, but after watching the first episode, they told me, 'I'm glad it's better than expected.'"

In the recently concluded SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated', Seo made her presence felt playing the role of Kim Minji, the daughter of the protagonist Kim Bu-jang (played by So Ji-sub).

Having earned the nickname "the Nation's Daughter" by delicately portraying the emotional journey of a daughter growing up in an ordinary family, she is showing how she fills her days in her own way rather than living a star's life even after the production has ended.

Seo standing in front of a takoyaki shop behind the glamorous lights is being viewed as a testament to her sincerity and dedication toward her profession as an actress.
