Singer and actor Harisu brought up a difficult episode in the early days of his debut.

On the 10th 'This is the real final' channel, a video of Harisu and Monica's episode was posted.

Asked if she had any concerns before her debut as a transgender person, Harisu stepped into the entertainment industry as a man in 1991. He appeared as an assistant, and he was a man's family register at the time. When I was working with an advertiser, I talked about my gender identity, and there were a lot of times when I revealed it and things fell through."




He then shot a cosmetic commercial in 2001. Isn't it the best dream of a female entertainer?" he said, adding that he got the best chance after continuing to wander while working as a transgender person. However, even after receiving public attention, the stinging gaze was inevitable. After revealing that she is transgender, Harisu revealed that there were cases where she asked for sex or told her to take off her clothes, saying, "'Is it true that she is a real woman, I should check that she is a woman?'"

Harisu "So I gave up my role and couldn't sign a contract. Even when they were loved by the public, some people were kind in front of them but talked behind their backs. I wanted my life as a woman, so I had sex reassignment surgery, and I thought I had it all done. But from a social perspective, I was just transgender. It was very hard."

Meanwhile, Harisu is Korea's first-generation transgender entertainer who debuted as a cosmetics model in 2001. Since then, he has been active as a singer and actor.
