An actor who plays ghosts in horror content visits "Mueosideon Mureobosa," a TV advice show, to share an unexpected personal struggle.

On Monday's episode of KBS Joy's "Mueosideon Mureobosa," a guest who works as a reenactment actor on horror programs reveals that she has been suffering from worsening sleep paralysis and a series of unsettling experiences the more she films.

The guest says she has always been prone to sleep paralysis due to what she describes as a naturally weak constitution, and that after shooting horror content, inexplicable incidents keep recurring. While she tells herself it is just acting in the moment she portrays a ghost, the anxiety does not easily fade once filming wraps.

The episode features the guest recounting vivid firsthand experiences from the set, and the studio reportedly remained tense for some time afterward.

Hosts Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Su-geun offer grounded advice, suggesting she look into psychological causes before attributing her experiences to the supernatural.

The episode is drawing attention particularly for addressing a question many horror fans have likely wondered about — whether reenactment actors are really all right after filming.
