Famous K-Drama Actor Shares He Started Career Driven by Resentment Toward Celebrity Ex-Girlfriend

Oh Min Suk shocked fans by revealing why he got into acting – it was all because of an ex-girlfriend.

The veteran actor dropped the truth during a recent MBC Standard FM episode of Women’s Generation With Yang Hee Eun and Kim Il Joong while chatting with comedian Kim Ji Sun.

Turns out, Oh Min Suk had zero interest in showbiz until his girlfriend at the time suddenly broke up with him. Why? She wanted to become a celebrity.

“At the time, the girlfriend I was dating told me she was going to become a celebrity and said she wanted to break up with me… I had absolutely no interest in that field, so it felt really out of nowhere.”

The story gets wild. Just a few months after the breakup, while serving in the military, Oh Min Suk saw that very ex on TV making her debut.

“After we broke up, exactly two or three months later, I was watching TV in the barracks during my military service, and I saw my ex-girlfriend making her debut. I was so dumbfounded.”

He thought she’d blow up, keep appearing on-screen, and “torment” him forever. Instead, Oh Min Suk decided to enter the industry himself — out of spite!
