“I’ve been working at a takoyaki shop ever since filming ended. I’m still working there now,” she stated. Her humble approach to her work is truly admirable. “Since I don’t try to hide my face, I think people just assume I look like the actress. Some customers even talk about ‘Agent Kim Reactivated’ right in front of me. I listen with gratitude while making takoyaki,” she recounted with a warm smile. Imagine discussing the drama with the actual Kim Min Ji!
However, the most priceless reaction came from her unsuspecting boss. “I never told my boss that I was an actress,” Seo Su Min explained. “One day, while I was cooking takoyaki, my boss suddenly asked, ‘Were you in Agent Kim Reactivated?’ When I said yes, the response was, ‘Why are you here?’ They were completely shocked.” This charming anecdote showcases Seo Su Min’s grounded nature and commitment to her job.

Reflecting on being cast in ‘Agent Kim Reactivated’ while preparing for college entrance exams, she expressed her deep dedication. “I still felt that I had a lot to improve as an actress, so I wanted to devote myself as much as possible to the project.” Her passion for acting shines through, prioritizing craft over comfort.
Seo Su Min also warmly reflected on her experience working alongside the legendary So Ji Sub. “At first, I called him “sunbaenim,” but later we started calling each other “Dad” and “Daughter,”‘ she recalled. “As filming went on, he really began to feel like my father. When we filmed the scene where I looked at his memorial portrait, I started crying even before filming began.” This deep connection with her on-screen father speaks volumes about her immersive acting style and the powerful bond formed on set.
