Ashley Park Admits She Thought Brooklyn Was a 'Stop on the Subway' for a Full Year

Ashley Park is willing to admit her faults — and New York City geography seems to be one of them.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Sept. 18, the Emily in Paris actress admitted to a pretty sizable mistake that she repeatedly made during the first year she lived in New York City.

Park, 33, said that season 1 of the Netflix series marked her first time in Paris, so she "did every Airbnb experience" and "discovered every part of that [city]," but when she returned to New York, she realized, "I haven't discovered any of this city."

Her lack of exploration went as far as a year-long confusion about what Brooklyn is.

"Everyone's going to think I'm really out of it. I used to think — for the first year I lived here, I used to think Brooklyn was a stop on the subway. So like, you know, like 50th street," she admitted. "I didn't know it was a land mass."

Seth Meyers then joked that Park "learned a little bit about [Brooklyn] then stopped again," as she was shocked to hear him say that the borough could rank among the biggest cities in the U.S.

"I think I figured it out when a friend was like, 'I live in Brooklyn.' I said, 'Oh my gosh, I know someone else who lives in Brooklyn! Like, do you know this person?' Because I thought it was, like, a little neighborhood."

As the clip ended, she told the audience, "I know things now, guys."

Park is fresh off a lengthy press tour for the fourth season of Emily in Paris , where she plays the best friend and roommate, Mindy, of the titular character ( Lily Collins ).

This season brought about the actress' biggest challenge yet in the role, as she had to perform topless for a scene in part 2 of season 4 where her character agrees to perform at an iconic Parisian cabaret known for its nude female dancers.

" It was so stressful and hard to do ," Park told PEOPLE. "If it had not been for the choreographer, Kyle Hanagami, coming in and my team around me, I don't think I would've gotten through it."

The actress said she's "actually really proud now" looking back on the scene, where she dances topless to Britney Spears ' "Oops!... I Did It Again," and said it's a scene she "will never forget doing."
