Kim Hee Ae's YouTube Appearance

In an engaging reveal on October 7, celebrated actress Kim Hee Ae graced Shin Dong Yup’s YouTube channel to discuss her latest film, *A Normal Family*. Fans were thrilled not just to hear about her new project but also to catch a glimpse of her thoughts on comedian Kim Young Chul’s long-standing impersonations of her.

The Comedian's Impersonations

Known for his comedic flair, Kim Young Chul became a talking point in the entertainment world for his spot-on imitation of Kim Hee Ae’s character from the hit drama *Secret Affair*. However, when asked about her feelings regarding Young Chul’s impersonations, Kim Hee Ae displayed a mix of humor and hesitation.

Mixed Feelings from Kim Hee Ae

Her initial reaction was telling, as she smiled but seemed somewhat conflicted. "If I can influence you, that’s fine," she remarked, but it was clear that her feelings were not entirely straightforward. When prompted further by Shin Dong Yup, who jokingly queried if she held any resentment towards Young Chul, she shared her thoughts more elaborately.

Appreciation vs. Annoyance

"It’s cute, and I appreciate it when other people imitate me. It feels like they are promoting me, showing that people are watching me," she explained, highlighting the positive side of being emulated. Yet, when it came to Kim Young Chul specifically, her response shifted.

Clarifying Her Stance

She clarified, "But with Kim Young Chul, what he does is different. Young Chul claimed that I liked his imitation, but I have never said anything like that. He even mentioned that I don’t like him, so I can’t say anything."

Respecting the Craft

Despite this ambivalence, Kim Hee Ae appeared to respect the comedian’s craft: "For Young Chul, that’s his job. You have to exaggerate it a bit for people to find it funny. I respect that. But that doesn’t mean that I like it when they come on TV and imitate me."

The Delicate Balance of Public Persona

The interaction showcases the delicate line between admiration and discomfort that comes with being a public figure, especially in the world of comedy. As viewers tune in to catch the full episode featuring Kim Hee Ae, one can’t help but wonder: How do celebrities truly feel about their public personas being parodied?
