In a recent interview with People magazine at the premiere of the latest season of her Netflix series, Ashley Park opened up about filming a topless scene during the Crazy Horse sequence in episode 8 of season 4 of Emily in Paris. Park told the publication that performing that scene was like “every actor’s worst nightmare,” noting, “We have this recurrent memory of being onstage, not knowing what you’re doing, in your underwear.”
She added, “And that is what I was living out, but surrounded by the most beautiful dancers in the world around me.” The actress shared that it was “stressful and hard to do,” acknowledging that without the support of choreographer Kyle Hanagami and her team, she doesn’t think she would have managed to get through it.

In the episode titled Back on the Crazy Horse, her character Mindy faces similar concerns about performing topless on stage. However, while dancing to Britney Spears’ song Oops!… I Did It Again, her best friend Emily helped her, and (Lily Collins) passed her different items backstage to help cover her body. This support allowed her to get through the performance, as she agreed to do the gig to raise money for her band to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest.
