If you have, you already know that in the season's eighth episode, Ashley Park's character Mindy performs at a cabaret club called Crazy Horse that features female dancers in varying states of undress.

Ashley had to essentially perform topless, in a strategically covered fashion, for the scene — and in a new interview with People, she got real about what the experience was actually like.

In the interview, Ashley described filming the scene as "stressful" and "every actor's worst nightmare" — and she also explained exactly why it felt that way.

"We have this recurrent memory of being onstage, not knowing what you're doing, in your underwear," she explained. "And that is what I was living out actually, but surrounded by the most beautiful dancers in the world around me."

Ashley referred to the filming of the scene as "so hard to do" — but she also credited the show's choreographer Kyle Hanagami, as well as the show's team overall, for making sure she'd "gotten through it."

She also went on to say that she's "actually really proud" of how the scene came out, and that she "will never forget doing" the shoot itself.
