During an appearance on the YouTube talk show Salon Drip, actor Park Hae-il revealed a side of Tang Wei that differs greatly from her on-screen persona. The co-star of Tang in the 2022 Korean film Decision to Leave shared an unexpected story about the actress, describing her as remarkably down-to-earth when not in front of the camera.
Park Hae-il visited Tang after she was cast in Decision to Leave, accompanying director Park Chan-wook to meet her. Before this visit, he held a different impression of Tang; she was someone he saw as sophisticated and glamorous. However, his perception drastically changed upon meeting her in person.
According to Park, Tang was working in a field in loose-fitting farm pants and a straw hat at the time of their meeting. This unexpected sight painted a very different picture of the actress, who he had previously only seen as a glamorous and sophisticated on-screen presence. This experience inspired Park to start growing his own produce at his home, drawing his motivation from Tang's own down-to-earth lifestyle.
