Continuing from Part 4The news of Sunhwa's selection for “Invincible Youth” shocked everyone. Just the fact that a girl group member who hasn't even debuted yet would be selected for a variety program caused a huge sensation. Han Sunhwa was a name that no one knew. Because of this, the netizens had almost no expectations of her.
Despite this, Sunhwa played a huge role in the getting Secret known to the public with her hidden variety skills. However, not many people are aware of the difficulties she had to go through.
“I went on a variety show before I even debuted, and I got the feeling that the other girls group members didn't even know who Secret was.(laughs) Being around members of SNSD, Kara, BEG, T-ara, and others, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.”
And so Sunhwa had to face the variety program on her own. Though she was scared and at times felt so awkward that she wanted to run from the set, she held her ground and began to get closer to the other members.
“I really didn't know anything at the time and fear was the only thing I felt. I was especially worried that they wouldn't like me. I wasn't even thinking about my broadcast time then. The only thought going through my head was, 'What can I do to get closer to the others?' and 'I hope I don't say something wrong.'”
Despite all of her worries, when the first day of shooting began, Kim Shinyoung and the other members made sure to take good care of her.
“Up until about a month after the first recording, the members were very nice to me but I think I was still uncomfortable. The recording began at 7 in the morning, but before I got out of the car I would always ask my manager for advice. I was like a little girl asking her mom questions before the first day of school.(laughs)”
However, thanks to her bright and outgoing personality, Sunhwa had no trouble hitting it off with the cast of “Invincible Youth”
“As time went on I began to worry about my broadcast time. I really tried my best for my group because I was here representing all the members of Secret. Looking back now, I'm really happy and a little proud that Secret is known.”
Then, a golden opportunity came to Sunhwa: the White Paper character. Viewers noticed the 'White Paper Sunhwa' and naturally began to gain interest in the group called Secret.
Part 6(Final) coming soon.
