In an interview with broadcast journalist MJ Marfori on Friday, May 17, Kim joked that if the feud between her and Paulo inside the cabinet had lasted longer, they might have become one.

“Of course, it was nerve-wracking to do that scene. Plus, I was also kind of embarrassed as a Filipina girl. I was a little embarrassed,” Kim said.

Kim’s honesty about the kissing scene has been met with widespread approval from her fans. Many praised her for being open and true to herself, even when discussing such an intimate moment in her career.

She also acknowledged the importance of balancing her professional growth with staying grounded in her roots as a Filipina, which she hopes to continue doing as she takes on new and diverse roles in the future.

 

“But I’m just going to say whatever…so we don’t have to do it again. Maybe if we do it again, we’ll be done. Just a joke,” he said, laughing.

He added: “It seems like we’ve had a one-time big time. Let’s give it up so it’s better to edit less than less.”
