Actress Park Eun Woo shared how she was cast by the agency run by actor Namkoong Min.

In the web variety show "Brain Freeze", released on the 23rd, web drama actresses Park Eun-Woo and Choi Ha-Seul joined hosts Kim Hee-Chul and Ha Ji-Won for a chat.

During the episode, Kim Hee-Chul remarked to Park Eun-Woo, “I heard that your current agency is Min-i hyung’s (Namkoong Min) company, and he personally cast you.” Park Eun-Woo explained, “He saw a YouTube channel I appeared on. I received a DM, we met, and I eventually joined the company.”

When Kim Hee-Chul asked what Namkoong Min was like as a company representative rather than an actor, Park Eun-Woo responded, “He’s incredibly meticulous and thoughtful. He personally oversees everything from start to finish. Not only does he give acting guidance, but he also consults on appearance-related matters. He’s very detailed.”

Kim Hee-Chul then asked, “I heard you thought it was a scam when you were first contacted. Is that true?” Park Eun-Woo replied, “Since it came through DM.” Ha Ji-Won asked, “Was it a DM from Namkoong Min’s official profile?” Park Eun Woo clarified, “It wasn’t from Namkoong Min himself but from the company’s head director. At the time, the company hadn’t officially launched, and there wasn’t even a company name, so I did wonder if it was a scam account. But Namkoong Min personally came to the meeting.”

Amazed, Kim Hee-Chul commented, “It seems like people are being cast via DM these days. Even my junior at SM, aespa’s Karina, was cast via DM.” He then asked Choi Han-Seul if she receives many DMs for work, to which she replied, “Most offers come through DMs.”

Meanwhile, Park Eun Woo is a web drama "PICKGO" regular and has been recognised for her acting, garnering over 10 million views on the short-form drama "CUtube".
