Shin Hyun Joon added that the director reminded him to slap hard for the scene to work. So he decided to give up. He said, "At that time, Kim Tae Hee was still a newbie. She wasn't very aware of everything. She must have had a hard time. She did well."

The actor shared more about the popularity of the film. Shin Hyun Joon felt grateful that young viewers were moved and cried along with the character.

The name Shin Hyun Joon (born in 1968) became famous thanks to the success of Stairway to Heaven. In recent years, he has rarely acted in movies.

In 2020, he was cheated and exploited by his former manager. Specifically, Kim Mo (Shin Hyun Joon's former manager) said that he was a longtime friend of Shin Hyun Joon and became a manager in 1994 after a proposal from the actor. At that time, the actor paid the manager a salary of 600,000 won (about 11 million 650 thousand VND) a month. It was a living wage, and the manager didn't get a raise for the next 2 years, even after Shin Hyun Joon moved to Stardom and became famous.

After petitioning, the manager was given a salary increase of 1,000,000 won (about 19 million 412,000 VND) a month, but this level was only applied for 6 months. Instead, he received an offer: if he brought a work or advertising contract for actor Shin Hyun Joon, he would receive 10% of the salary. However, after that, the actor's side did not keep his promise.

"In the late 90s, I helped Shin Hyun Joon win ads worth 200-300 million won, but I only received 2 million won," Kim said bitterly. In addition, he is also the one who connects the actor with the producers of the dramas "Siren", "Bichunmoo" as well as some PDs of the TV station, but has never received a decent salary because between the two. person without a contract: "During the time we worked together, we didn't have a contract. Every time I asked for a contract, Shin Hyun Joon immediately dismissed it."

But to Mr. Kim, Shin Hyun Joon's complaints are more terrifying than the low pay. According to Mr. Kim, the actor "Stairway to Heaven" complained all day and changed staff like changing clothes, changing up to 20 managers in just 7-8 years. The actor often calls employees with offensive words, showing disdain.

Manager Kim recounted that once he had a cold and had to wear a mask, he was scolded by Shin Hyun Joon: "How can I work if I'm sick" and forced him to take off the mask. The actor believes that the manager is also the face of the actor, so Mr. Kim is only allowed to wear a mask in the car and must take it off when going out, in order to create a "clean" and "safe" image.

In addition, Mr. Kim also revealed that Shin Hyun Joon's mother also participated in his exploitation. The actor's mother forced him to report on his son's situation every day, as well as to do odd jobs overtime such as washing the car and driving her shopping. Even on Christmas Eve, Mr. Kim could not return to his family, but had to take Shin Hyun Joon and his mother to church. When he complained about this, he only received the attitude "That's what you have to do" from the actor's south.

In response to these accusations from the former manager, actor Shin Hyun Joon's agency said, "The story of the former manager is baseless." The incident greatly affected Shin Hyun Joon's reputation.
