'Should I die or pay off my debt?' Ok Joo-hyun and Lee Hyo-ri confess that business failure is full of debt



Pinkle Ok Joo-hyun explained various controversies related to her, confessing that it was debt that was hard to die.

Singer Ok Joo-hyun's episode was aired on Channel A 'Best Friend Talk Documentary - Table for Four' aired on the 8th.

On this day, Ok Joo-hyun answered honestly about the controversy over his reputation and the so-called 「Okpan Suspicion」 that he led the parachute casting.




First of all, Ok Joo-hyun responded, "'When I was at Fin.K.L., the other members finished with a 10-minute rehearsal, but I was the only one who did it for an hour.'" "The music broadcast director responded, "Can't we do it properly? How do we do the stage appropriately?'"

Ok Joo-hyun then said "In response, Patty Kim's arrogant and stubborn part is the same as mine. That's why they have a similar attitude toward the stage. He said it was very dry."

As for musical actor Kim Ho-young's shooting of the musical "Elizabeth" in relation to the casting of the musical "Okpan" "I was confident. Because it's not true.. Things just got bigger,' he recalled.




When Lee Ji-hye, the same agency as Ok Joo-hyun, was double cast as the main character when casting 'Elizabeth' in 2022, some raised controversy over the casting of network, saying that Ok Joo-hyun's breath was at work. The misunderstanding grew when Ok Joo-hyun said to the leading male musical actors who appeared together in the previous appearance of 'Radio Star' that `that I recommended.'

Ok Joo-hyun "I didn't contact Ji-Hye, Ji-Hye didn't contact me for each other." Because it's not okay. I know it's not okay, so I told him how I felt at the time.

He told Wisdom that he could do well someday if he learned not only 'Elizabeth' but also various works well. It wasn't aimed at a particular piece of work that `It opens up, so let's run for it.'"At that time, I learned a lot of things from Jihye that I didn't have." We just shared each other" he said.

Ok Joo-hyun "I learned it enough and grew up so well. I was unanimously selected as the heroine in the audition. I thought, 'It's okay, it's going to be okay, it's going to be okay,' but things got too big"I recalled the time.

Lee Ji-hye said, "My sister is a strong person in the station, and I have a personal relationship with her, and I have taken lessons from her." "For this reason, I have become the main character who does not have to be on the chopping block." Since then, Lee Ji-hye has been selected as the main character, but she only received worried messages, not congratulations on her passing. Lee Ji-hye said, "We didn't talk about it and spent a long time together, but after the performance, we hugged each other and cried our eyes out." he said.

It was when Ok Joo-hyun returned to debt after her massive yoga center operation project collapsed at the age of 27 that was more difficult than the world's reputation or personality controversy.

Ok Joo-hyun recalled the early days of the musical, which was struggling with debt, and always thought, `Do I die or pay my debt. The time was like hell," he said, expressing his feelings at the time when he was having a hard time.

Earlier, Ok Joo-hyun received a great help in paying off the debt by lending the members of Fin.K.L. at the program 'Camping Club' where Fin.K.L. members reunited," he said, expressing his gratitude.
