    Kim also opened up about some challenges on set, including a moment when he fainted during a tough action scene. “We were filming action scenes in the middle of summer, and I actually passed out. It made me realize my body isn’t what it used to be, so I’m much more careful now.”

I couldn’t breathe, and it was honestly scary. I’d never fainted before, so it really shook me. Now, whenever I do action scenes, I’m extra careful, always wondering, ‘What if something goes wrong?’ But the crew was amazing and made sure I was safe.”
