The witty actress Lee Mi-do recalled her past when she played a former erotic actress.

On the SBS special ‘Shoes Off, Single for Men - Sunshine Girls’ that aired on the 7th, Lee Mi-do and Kim Ji-ho showed off their gift of gab.

On that day, Lee Sang-min told Lee Mi-do, “You were famous in Gwangju as an acting genius.”Lee Mi-do surprised everyone by saying, “I‘m from Gwangju, and I was in a drama club when I was in high school. I won the Best Acting Award at the National Youth Theater Festival. That’s the Minister of Culture Award.”

Lee Mi-do said that she was worried because all the roles she was offered after debuting as an actress were strong ones, and “The names of the roles I took on weren‘t ordinary people’s names. In director Bong Joon-ho‘s film ‘Mother, I played the role of Scar, and other character names include Pig, Squirrel, and Nallari,“ he explained. The first work he appeared in under a human name was the role of the wise man in the film ‘For the Best Moment in Our Lives.

When Lee Sang-min heard this and asked, ”After debuting as an actor, all the roles you’ve gotten were strong ones, so you must have had a lot of worries,“ Lee Mi-do confessed, ”None of the roles I‘ve played had human names. In director Bong Joon-ho’s film ‘Mother, I played the role of Scar, and other character names include Pig, Scar, Nallari, and Nallari.“

He continued, ”In my 20s, I played a lot of high school girl Nallari. I did Nallari 2 and Nallari 1, and then I became the sole Nallari,“ showing off his Nallari acting.

In particular, Im Do caught attention by saying that she had acted as a former erotic actress. Lim Won-hee asked, ”How do former erotic actresses act? I‘m really curious.“

Lee Mi Do recalled the filming of the movie ‘Red Carpet’, and explained, “It contained a story about making an erotic film with Yoon Kye-sang, Oh Jung-se, and Jo Dal-hwan. I played the role of a former erotic actress who has retired from active duty but trains juniors.”

She continued, “I’m a former actress, so I‘ve retired from active duty but I played the role of a director who trains juniors. She said, “I have free time, but I also have a sense of professionalism (as an erotic actress)” and “When actresses are standing in the office, I say, ’Plum, show me‘ and they show off their acting.”

Lee Mi-do continued, “In the movie, we’re filming a scene where we actually expose ourselves, and I told the staff, ‘This is a sensitive shoot because of the exposure, so please leave except for the key staff members,’” and “But none of the staff there left. So the director called them out one by one and said, ‘You get out, you XX.’“”, making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Imido is an actress who is loved by many for her supporting roles in various dramas and movies, and she is also making people laugh on variety shows.
