Shin Min Ah was then asked if she ever had any regrets about her career. Shin Min Ah expressed her longing for the things she missed out on when she was growing up. She said, “I came into the industry when I was so young, so I kind of wish I experienced the teenage school years as other people have. I think about having had to interact with adults who were much older than I was when I began my career, and I think I always felt like I’m lacking something.”
