Former S.E.S. member and actress Eugene recently stirred conversations by revealing an unexpected anecdote regarding a co-star’s bad breath during a playful segment on her YouTube channel. In a lighthearted video featuring her husband, Ki Tae Young, the couple engaged in a balance game while enjoying tteokbokki, a popular Korean street food.
During the game, the couple faced a humorous dilemma: choose between working with “an actor whose breath smells like a sewer” or “an actor who keeps forgetting their lines.” Ki Tae Young opted for the actor who forgets lines, citing his understanding of nervousness in performance. In contrast, Eugene emphatically chose to avoid the foul breath, stating, “Even so, it’s better than someone with breath that smells like a sewer.”
The production team suggested that having an actor with bad breath might be manageable, as one could simply hold their breath and complete the shoot swiftly. Eugene quickly countered, questioning the practicality of this approach: “How can you hold your breath? You have to talk to your co-star. How can you answer without breathing?”
As their playful banter continued, Eugene shared a personal experience that left many viewers surprised. She recounted working with a female co-star who had a particularly severe case of foul breath, describing the smell as reminiscent of “rotten cigarettes.” This unexpected revelation sparked curiosity among fans, with some speculating about the identity of the actress in question.
The candid nature of Eugene’s remarks resonated with audiences, prompting discussions about the challenges of working in close quarters with co-stars. Viewers can catch the full exchange and the couple’s entertaining interactions in the video available on YouTube.
This episode not only highlights the lighter side of celebrity interactions but also serves as a reminder of the realities faced in the entertainment industry. While the conversation was lighthearted, it underscores the importance of professionalism and personal hygiene in collaborative environments.
