'Bridgerton' Season 4 Actor, Yerin Ha On Dealing With 'Imposter Syndrome', Says 'People That Look..'

Bridgerton has become one of the most-loved series in global pop culture. Ever since the first season of the period drama was released, it has become its own aesthetic, earning a place in every fan's heart. And with the upcoming Season 4 of the much-awaited show, Yerin Ha marks her entry into the world as a leading lady opposite Luke Thompson.

As a new entrant on a team with a cast that has been there since Season 1, the actor sees it as an opportunity to start fresh with the audience. However, Yerin Ha also candidly spoke about the challenges of working in the West. 

Yerin Ha gets candid about having to deal with 'imposter syndrome'

In a candid conversation with HT City, Yerin Ha spoke about the difficulties people like her face in making their place on screen. Yerin, who is from Australia and of South Korean descent, shared that imposter syndrome is extremely real for people like her in the West. Yerin was quoted as saying:

"For people that look like me, imposter syndrome is a real thing. Sometimes you feel like this might be your last job, and you never know. I sometimes do think that it's bigger than me in terms of that hopefully this show just actually proves that more people can be represented and more such stories can be told."

For the unversed, imposter syndrome is a psychological experience in which people doubt their skills and accomplishments, feeling like frauds who don't deserve their success, despite evidence of competence. People suffering from this fear often live with a persistent fear of being exposed as a fake.

She revealed that it was what intrigued her about the show as well. Yerin spoke about how it showed the world as it was today and added: 

"We are a melting pot of cultures, and what's so lovely about our love story, and also the other ones as well, is that it's just that Benedict sees Sophie for who she is on the inside.

That's a beautiful story to tell, and you should carry that outside as well."
