Faced with inconsistent work in the entertainment industry, Park Kyung Hye has taken on a job at a local cafe for the past two years to secure a stable income. She handles all roles, including barista, cleaner, and cashier. Many patrons recognize her, often greeting her warmly, which she finds enjoyable.

"Earning money is inherently challenging," Park Kyung Hye stated, "but the income I make is for myself. Having a suitable job and the opportunity to earn is truly fortunate."

Park Kyung Hye also shared how supportive her colleagues are. Kim Hye Soo, for instance, sends her seafood and beef. Knowing Kyung Hye is not adept at skincare or makeup, Hyeri provides her with these items when needed. Hyeri also lends her jackets and watches for occasions when she desires a more polished or elegant appearance.

Their friendship blossomed through shared projects, including the 2019 drama "Miss Lee", where Hyeri played the lead and Kyung Hye took on the supporting role of Kim Ha Na. They reunited on screen in 2021 for "My Roommate Is a Gumiho".

Her extensive filmography includes approximately 40 film and television projects, such as "Dr. Cheon and Lost Talisman", "1987: When the Day Comes", "Goblin", and "Love in Contract".
