Kim Ji Hoon told the story behind his use of a Korean dialect in the Netflix series "Money Heist: Korea".

On July 1, Kim Ji Hoon held a video interview to celebrate the release of "Money Heist: Korea" on Netflix. He also did a Q&A with different media outlets.

He played the role of "Denver", a simple, kind, and fiery person in the play, and his ability to speak in the Busan and Gyeongnam dialects made him stand out.

When reporters asked how he prepared to act in the dialect, Kim Ji Hoon said, "I'm from Seoul, so I don't know much about the dialect".

Kim Ji Hoon explained, "My original Seoul language seemed insufficient to express Denver's simple ignorance and hot-tempered nature."

He continued, "I thought the dialect was a good way to show who (Denver) was".

He also showed how much he loved learning again by going to see rapper Simon Dominic to learn how to speak a slightly harsher dialect than the one he had learned.

Kim Ji Hoon said proudly, "I learned the dialect from the two of them, and the Denver dialect was finished".

Netizens praised his efforts, but responded, "Are people who speak the dialect are with simple ignorance and hot-tempered?" and "It seems to be prejudice against the dialect".

Meanwhile, the Netflix show "Money Heist: Korea," starring Kim Ji Hoon, came out on June 24 and is getting a lot of attention at the same time.

The work shows an unheard-of robbery play in which robbers with different personalities and skills, including the genius strategist "Professor" (played by Yoo Ji Tae), fight against the changes that happen all the time in the background of the Korean Peninsula before unification.

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
