Actress Yoon Eun Hye Talks About the Reason She Didn’t Drink/Date & Revealed the Difficulties Due To The Nickname From X-Man
On March 25th, 2020, Yoon Eun Hye was one of the guests of MBC’s Radio Star. She talked about making a long-awaited comeback to variety shows by coming there, she said:
“It was difficult not appearing on TV. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to, but I thought that I needed to be cautious for many reasons. I feel pressure to be funny when I appear on shows like this but I thought that it would be okay for my health. I’m also appearing so that I can overcome my trauma, so I hope it will be a good memory.”
In the past she was a frequent guest of the show X-Man, from there she also gained a nickname as the Strong Girl. Yoon Eun Hye then explained, “I’m weak at arm wrestling and am only good at wrestling. I liked that I had a healthy image, but it was difficult when I began appearing in dramas. I had difficulty for about two to three years because of the nickname Strong Girl.”
Kang Ho Dong who is the former MC of X-Man praised her amazing strength, also told her that he would give a thigh band used in wrestling as a gift if she gets married. When Radio Star MC named Chae Yeon as a rival then Eun Hye said, “No, it was the men.” It was proven after they watched a clip, where she flipping over SECHSKIES’s Eun Ji Won and Lee Min Ki easily. She again proved her power by flipping Kim Gu Ra over in the studio.
As for the lifestyle change, Yoon Eun Hye explained, “It’s been eight years since I quit drinking. At the time, it wasn’t that I drank because I enjoyed it but rather because I had such severe insomnia. After many bad incidents happened when I was 29 years old, I couldn’t sleep without drinking. I could naturally doze off after feeling the effects of alcohol, so it wasn’t getting drunk but feeling comfortable.”
She then explained further, “I mixed all of them. I got drunk if I just drank beer, didn’t really like soju, got drunk if I drank wine and champagne as well. But I didn’t get drunk if I mixed all of them. So I continued to mix and drink all of them.”
And lastly, she added, “I don’t drink at all now. If I eat chocolate and taste the alcohol, I spit it out. It’s my way of controlling. But my dating life also naturally ended too [for eight years]. I stopped going out to those kinds of places and only go to my agency to talk with my CEO. I used to not tell anyone about my difficulties, but after meeting my CEO who’s like a mother figure, I became a chatterbox. So I don’t really feel lonely.”
Radio Star MCs expressed their disbelief, where someone who is beautiful like Yoon Eun Hye hasn’t dated for around eight years. She calmly explained, “No one has asked me out or has asked me for my number. I realized that when I was filming a drama or project and would have physically affectionate scenes, it would be my first time in years. So I’d feel nervous.”
