39-year-old Moon Geun-young feels 'shy' as her 13-year-old self from 'Autumn in My Heart' is summoned

Moon Geun-young covered her face as she faced her appearance from as many as 20 years ago right before her eyes. When footage of the drama 'Autumn in My Heart', which she appeared in at the age of 13, appeared without warning, she could not hide her shyness. As the current Moon Geun-young and her childhood self were captured on one screen, admiration naturally erupted in the studio.

In the first broadcast of SBS 'Our Ballad 2' on the 5th, the first round of the finals took place under the theme 'The Song That Made Me Cry'. An unexpected scene occurred when a participant selected the OST for 'Autumn in My Heart'. Footage of Moon Geun-young, who played the child version of Song Hye-kyo in the drama, filled the screen.

As her past was suddenly summoned, Moon Geun-young covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. When the 13-year-old Moon Geun-young and the current Moon Geun-young appeared in succession, the cast members expressed surprise at the consistent appearance. Moon Geun-young searched her memories, saying, "Decades have passed. It is such a long time ago," and responded to the pouring compliments with a shy smile.

When asked about the secret to her tearful acting during her child actor days, an answer even more typical of Moon Geun-young came out. To the question of how she could shed tears at such a young age, she replied, "If they said 'Cry!', I cried," drawing laughter. When Jun Hyun-moo asked if she gained the title of 'Nation's Little Sister' because of 'Autumn in My Heart', Moon Geun-young replied, "That was the beginning," acknowledging it as a special work for her.

The Moon Geun-young of that era was not just a simple child actor. After leaving a strong impression as the child version of Song Hye-kyo in 'Autumn in My Heart' broadcast in 2000, she expanded her field of activity with works such as 'A Tale of Two Sisters' and 'My Little Bride', leaving a deep impression on the public. Even after growing into an adult actress, she moved beyond her child actor image by portraying characters with entirely different colors, such as Shin Yun-bok in 'Painter of the Wind' and 'Cinderella's Sister'.

It was not only her own past that made Moon Geun-young emotional again that day. While the stages continued, she became deeply immersed in the participants' songs and her eyes welled up. Despite hearing the songs for the first time, she expressed deep sensitivity, stating, "I thought it might be full of 'han' (sorrow)," and confessed that she almost burst into tears while empathizing with the participant's emotions.

The 13-year-old Moon Geun-young has somehow passed through 20 years of time to become the current Moon Geun-young. Her blushing face as she looked back at the scenes that made her the nation's little sister showed at a glance the time she has lived as an actress for a long period. The fact that the girl who once cried and laughed on screen has now become an actress who gets emotional while listening to other people's songs made the scene even more special.
