Actor Kim Woo Bin has opened up about his transformation for his role in The Drug King.

At the production presentation for the Netflix film held on September 10 at Lotte Cinema in Konkuk University, Seoul, Kim Woo Bin and co-star Kim Sung Kyun, along with director Kim Joo-hwan, shared details about their roles.

Kim Woo Bin shared, "To make my character look powerful and dominant, I intentionally gained around 8kg. I didn’t want a lean look; instead, I kept some extra weight and even the puffiness in my face to create a specific image."

He added, "I also bleached my hair to fit the role better. As filming went on, I lost some weight and changed my hairstyle again."

The Drug King tells the story of Lee Jeong-do (played by Kim Woo Bin), a martial arts expert who starts working as a close monitor for people with electronic tracking bracelets, following a recommendation from probation officer Kim Seon-min (played by Kim Sung Kyun). The film will be available exclusively on Netflix starting September 13.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
