Moon So-ri Addresses Controversy Over Mentoring Junior Actors
On February 24, 2025, actress Moon So-ri appeared on the YouTube channel '짠한형' (Jjanhan Hyung) in an episode titled 'EP. 81: Did Shin Dong-yeob Get Caught Up in the Old School Narrative of Tough Love?' During the show, host Shin Dong-yeob playfully asked Moon if she had ever used harsh methods to discipline junior actors, referencing the traditional practices of the past. Moon responded emphatically, stating, 'Who said that? I've never done such a thing to my juniors.'
She went on to reflect on her own experiences, admitting, 'I have been confrontational with seniors before, and I regret that, which is why I decided not to do it anymore.' She mentioned her work in the film 'Apology' (사과), where she collaborated with actors Kim Tae-woo and the late Lee Sun-kyun. Moon expressed that she had voiced her concerns to those in decision-making positions about the direction of the project.
Moon noted that this openness led to negative rumors about her, which she found challenging. Shin Dong-yeob advised that the key lies in the method of expression, emphasizing the importance of understanding a person's character when communicating.
As they shared drinks, Shin casually asked Moon for a glass, jokingly dropping the formalities to foster a closer relationship. Moon responded positively, saying, 'It's fine to call me that. Friends might poke fun at each other, but they often have a naive side too,' sharing a laugh with the host.
