Actress Ahn So-young looked back on her past when she left for America while working as an actress and struggling as a ‘single mother’.
KBS2’s entertainment program ‘Park Won-sook’s Let’s Live Together Season 3’, which aired on the 14th, was decorated with a special 100th talk concert.
On this day’s broadcast, Ahn So-young told the story of how she suddenly moved to the United States in the late 1990s and started a business.
Ahn So-young said, “I gave birth to a child of my choice. I started by saying that I would take that child to the United States and live there. But my son really liked of soft tofu. So I opened a soft tofu restaurant without fear.”
However, Ahn So-young admitted that she could not open the restaurant for a year because the construction of the restaurant was not finished. Then, with the help of the village team leader, who is said to be in every town in America, he opened a restaurant in one day.
Ahn So-young said, “The manager of the Village team happened to be going home at night, and the light was on in the shop, so he came in and asked, ‘Why can’t you open the shop?’ The person hung up the phone and said, ‘I’ll open it tomorrow.’ That person called the electrician and the kitchen people and stamped it at 10 o’clock that night,” he explained.
When Park Won-sook asked, “Isn’t it a beauty advantage?” Ahn So-young replied, “No. The American said he was curious about ‘when that house will open’. And after hearing the story, he let me do it.”
Ahn So-young also told an anecdote that the number of customers increased dramatically after a Chinese customer visited.
Ahn So-young said, “I opened the restaurant like that, and a customer came, but I didn’t know whether to bring water or what to do. At that time, a Chinese grandfather came and ate a bowl of soft tofu that Fe it cost $7.99 and gave me $100 The money They told me to hang it on the counter They said it would bring good fortune I accepted it, and after a while, many Chinese customers came in. That how I started doing business in the United States.”
Meanwhile, Ahn So-young made her debut in the 1982 film ‘Lady Ae-ma’, and after giving birth to a son in 1997, she left for the United States to raise her son alone. In November last year, in ‘Let’s Live Together with Park Won-sook Season 3’, he revealed that his son had asked about his father when he was in the 4th grade in elementary school, and that the child’s father had already died in the time.
