With a bunch of projects under her belt, you’d be wondering where the star got her determination to push through it all. Well, in an interview with Elle Korea, the actress shared that her mother is the source of her determination and good work ethic. Her mother raised her alone when her father passed away: “My mother told me, ‘Do you think a person who doesn’t even know the basics can go out and become a great person? Master the basics first.’ I didn’t like how my mother said to work on the basics while everyone else said to dream big. But at some point, I suddenly realised that I needed to do a proper job in the very spot where my feet were planted. I learned how to gain courage from the smallest things.”
