• Kang Hoon: "Joined Announcer Academy Right After Deciding to Appear in 'To My Hae-ri'"

    Actor Kang Hoon's latest photoshoot has just been unveiled.

    Kang Hoon recently wrapped up a photoshoot and interview for L'Officiel YK Edition. In the shoot, he displayed a range of styles, from casual outfits to bold patterns and bright colors, perfectly capturing a romantic autumn vibe. His intense gaze and creative poses with unique props showcased his diverse charms.

    In the interview, Kang Hoon talked about his upcoming role in the Genie TV drama 'To My Hae-ri', which starts airing on September 23.

    The drama is a romance about healing emotional wounds between newscaster Eun-ho (played by Shin Hye Sun) and her ex-boyfriend Hyun-oh (played by Lee Jin Wook). Kang Hoon plays Kang Joo-yeon, a model student and newscaster who is inexperienced with love.

    Kang Hoon shared, “As soon as I confirmed my role, I joined an announcer academy. My character went to all-boys schools and a military academy, so he didn’t have many chances to meet women. Since I was in a sports team when I was younger, I could relate a bit to this.” He discussed how he prepared for his role.

    When asked about the appeal of 'To My Hae-ri', he said, “It’s interesting to see how the characters’ emotional wounds and empty spaces in their hearts heal over time.” He also mentioned, “I’ve always wanted to work with Shin Hye Sun and Lee Jin Wook. They are not only amazing actors but also very kind and supportive, which has been a big motivation for me.”

    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.
