Former KBS announcer Kim Kyung-ran revealed her current status as a stage actress.

On TV CHOSUN show ‘Perfect Life’ that airs on the 4th night, a past photo of Kim Kyung-ran, who was different from the beginning(?), will also be surprisingly revealed.

Before Kim Kyung-ran appeared, MC Oh Ji-ho showed a picture of a brightly smiling child and gave the panelists a clue saying, “This child will grow up to be a beautiful announcer,” and asked them who they thought it might be.

As a second hint, when she appeared on the entertainment show ‘Mr.Lotto’ in the past and sang, along with the additional clue that ‘the news was the easiest’, panelist Shin Seung-hwan said with a look of confidence, “Announcer Kim Kyung-ran!” Then Kim Kyung-ran appeared, and panelist Lee Seong-mi couldn’t take her eyes off her, saying, “She’s pretty no matter when I see her.”

Kim Kyung-ran, who still boasts beautiful looks, focused attention by sharing her daily life as a stage actress.

She is currently on stage for the encore of the play ‘The Seagull’ and is having a great time sharing the salmon papillote and apple sedum salad she cooked herself in the theater’s waiting room with the actors.

Comedian Heo Anna, who was double-casted in the same role as Kim Kyung-ran, was impressed by Kim Kyung-ran’s acting that showed off her unexpected charm, saying, “Who could have seen Kim Kyung-ran’s aegyo?” Afterwards, she acted out a scene from the play with Shin Seung-hwan in the studio, and surprised everyone by immediately immersing herself in the role and showing off her acting.

Shin Seung-hwan, who worked together with her(?), asked Kim Kyung-ran what made her start acting.Kim Kyung-ran answered, “I once saw a one-person play.I think I was in awe of the energy of how one person who appeared in the small world of the stage could overwhelm(the audience).I had a bucket list of ‘I want to do one play before I die.’”

Then, she recalled the first time she went on stage, saying, “In 2015, I told Mr.Choi Bul-am,’ Doing a play is on my bucket list, ‘and he suggested,’ Then do you want to try doing a play? ‘and we ended up doing the play’ Siyouagain ‘together.” Kim Kyung-ran added, “I’ve done eight pieces in the past ten years,” raising expectations for her future acting career.
