Korean actress Kim Ji Won revealed that despite her high-profile television roles, she frequently rides the subway in her everyday life and goes completely unrecognized by fellow commuters. During a September 29th appearance on the YouTube channel TEO, the star shared details about her quiet lifestyle, her introverted personality, and her charitable contributions.

Subway Commutes and Fan Recognition

Kim Ji Won addressed her routine use of public transportation during the video segment. Despite drawing attention with her glamorous screen appearances, she uses daily transit without public notice. Co-star Lee Jung Eun shared a similar habit of using the subway, though with different results regarding public visibility. While Kim remains entirely unnoticed, Lee noted that fans occasionally approach her cautiously one by one to request photos rather than crowding around her all at once.

Introverted Personality and Daily Routine

The video, titled If you’re curious about the surprising side of these two actors, comment ‘info’ below, highlighted Kim’s reserved nature. Describing herself as an INFP, she explained that even when she wants to grow close to someone, she can only express about 30% of her feelings. Beyond transit habits, Kim maintains a simple daily routine. She relies on dawn delivery services and receives substantial help from her manager. Joking about her fondness for snacks, she remarked, I think I spend my appearance fees on snacks, which drew laughter from the set.

Recent Charitable Contributions

The conversation also touched on her recent philanthropic work, including a donation of ₩100 million KRW, equivalent to about $73,900 USD, directed to a children’s hospital. When attention focused on the contribution, Kim responded shyly to the praise. I just got lucky to have that opportunity. That’s how it happened, she said.
