“When I first read the script, I was intrigued and felt the unexpected appeal of the plot. I read it smoothly at the same time, and I felt it was a refreshing work, and I really wanted to experience it.”
He added:
“After filming, around Christmas last year, I learned that the drama would be airing on a public channel, specifically KBS. I was excited, but at the same time, I felt a bit apprehensive. It’s my first starring role. And when I look back on some of the scenes, I feel they deserved better. However, I’m determined to be a more thoughtful and mature actor in the future.”
“My Girlfriend is a Strong Girl” drama will premiere on KBS 2TV at 9:50 PM on July 23.
