South Korean actress Cha Joo Young has responded to continuous speculation about her wealthy family background and an unusual proposal from her dad that led many to believe she was forced into the world of acting.

As per Xports News, in a recent episode of the popular YouTube variety show "Yoo Quiz on the Block," Cha touched on her entertainment career and responded to accusations of her being born with a "golden spoon."

In South Korea, it is commonly used to refer to the children of the rich or those born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth.

In their interview, host Yoo Jae-suk mentioned Cha's background, which includes studying business administration at Utah State University. Co-host Jo Se-ho further discussed the topic by mentioning widespread rumors that Cha is from a prosperous family involved in finance.

Cha responded, recalling how her father had once suggested doing so, even going so far as to say he'd foot a penalty bill for her to stop acting. When the suggestion was made to her, however, she laughed it off, saying: "I don't even know how much the penalty is" - and got a laugh in return. In addition to putting the rumors to rest, Cha also opened up about her tough audition process for the successful drama series "The Glory. During the two-month process, she had to keep auditioning with the same script and remarked that she was surprised to stay the last one standing after all that.
