Hello Ilwoolies! Yesterday I forgot to check the weather and because it had been a bit on the colder side (40’s F) I dressed up with tights, turtle neck, light sweater and medium range coat. When I went out it was so warm!!! Imagine that the temperature made it almost to 70’s! Fortunately I had brought a pair of socks and was able to take off my tights… I still had to carry my coat around! I walked by the Charles River again, but all the leaves were gone… it made me feel a bit sad…
Something else that made me sad was this episode of High Kick. I was so glad when I saw they had highlighted in during the documentary of High Kick! It is episode 104. Like I said in my post from 2017, for me it is when we get to see the depth of the love of Yoon-ho for Min-jung, all his angst. I call it the “Paint Ball Episode.” SO of course I had to translate it! Here is the clip:
Jung Il woo’s face when he gets “shot” by the love of his life is so… no words can describe the depth of the pain in his eyes… it goes straight to one’s heart! Oh!
Here is the translation:
‘As there were more viewers interested in the drama, the relationship between three people got more important. People who liked MinYong and Minjung together, and people who supported Yunho’s love to Minjung made two big fandoms.
0:17 in this scene, they are basically having a proxy war for their fandoms.
0:33
Ilwoo: you are out!
Min-jung: you are so heartless.
0:39
Min-jung : hey!
‘Fans were so shocked when they saw Min-jung shooting Y00n-ho while smiling.’
0:53
Min-jung: yes! It’s perfectly on target! You are dead, right? I caught you! Hey! Min-yung, I caught Yoon-ho!
1:03
‘There was so much interesting story going on which can be compatible with most other dramas.(considering its a sitcom)’
1:10
Min-jung: Yoon-ho did a really good job with his heartbroken facial expression. I got really a lot of horrible comments after that, saying “how can you hurt Y00n-ho’s heart like that?” “I will never see You again!”
1:29
‘As they were more like in a war between two fandoms, the crew also had to make sure that they get equal amount of screen time and dialogue. ‘
1:43
‘then how did Sunjae’s family feel who saw all these very closely?”
1:50
Park Gyeong Rim (MC) : there were so many people back then who will be with Min-jung: Yoon-ho? Or Min-yong?
1:58
MC: May I ask you? They were a son and a grandson. Which ‘line’ did you support between the two?
2:04
Moon-hee: I vote for Min-yong
Jun-ha: because he’s her son.
MC: what about you, Sun-jae?
2:14:
Sunjae: me too, the son. (Min-yong)
2:18:
Haemi: of course, min-jung and yoon-ho can’t be together! (as mom )
2:23:
Haemi: as a mom’s point of view, (teacher and student is a no-no)
2:26
MC: everyone is voting for that side. What about you, dad?
2:28:
Jun-ha: of course, me too. He is my son. My son with a teacher? That’s a bit… so, I am also for Min-yong.
2:38:
Moon-hee: Min-jung and Yoon-ho looked good together though.
Mc: they were so cute together.
2:41
MC: What about the two of you? Have different thoughts?
Hyesung: I am with Ilwoo. It’s because when I think about my old times, many children like their teachers. For that pure reason, I supported Yooho more than Min-yong.
2:58
Jun-ha: You also had those dreams. (dating with a teacher)
Hyesung: well… hahaha
3:02
Haemi: I think Ilwoo’s idea might not be the same.
Ilwoo: Well, I think I would be the same. It was my first love, so it did not come true.
3:12
Ilwoo: And back then, we did not know what’s going to be in the last episode at all. The script for the last episode was available only to a handful of people so almost no one knew what’s going to be like in the end. I remember almost right before the shooting, they gave me the scripts.
‘The crew decided how the love line’s finale will be like just a day before the last shooting ’
Isn’t that amazing! Ilwoo basically found out about the end of the drama at the end! How cool is that? I think it helped him greatly as an actor to maintain that line of doubt! Incredible!
I already expressed my side in Instagram… I chose the Yoon-ho/Min-jung couple as the show went on… like I said, I felt he treated her the best. And to me actions speak so much more than words. People can say many things, but it is in their actions that we see who they really are.
Hello! This was probably of the whole documentary, the moment I wished to see the most. The moment Jung Il woo and Seo Min-jung (the teacher) met again even if virtually. So I was extremely surprised when MBC did not include this part in the shows YouTube videos. Seriously? Luckily, I was able to find the part in another video posted another of their channels.
This is the video:
This video is longer than the part I translated, so the translation starts at minute 2:11 and ends at 3:33. Please give full credit to my work if using this translation anywhere or translating to another language. Thank you!
2:11
‘It’s been 15 years since the last time they saw. ‘
2:16
Ilwoo: nuna! Do you hear my voice?
Minjung: oh, hey!
Ilwoo: it’s been a long time!
Minjung: yes, ilwoo!
2:28
Ilwoo: what time is it now in NY?
Minjung: it’s past 11am!
Ilwoo: but you have flowers on you, and I think you were very ready!
Minjung: Well, I wanted to look pretty to meet you!
Ilwoo: ah really? You are the same!
Minjung: you are the same too!
2:50
Ilwoo: it’s good to see you at least like this
Minjung: yeah! I saw Bossam and I liked it a lot.
Ilwoo: Thank you!
Minjung: and I am also watching your YouTube.
Ilwoo: really? 1day 1woo?
3:06
Minjung: you answered some questions there.
Ilwoo: yes!
Minjung: and you said your favorite night snacks are mixed noodles (비빔국수).
Ilwoo: yeah
3:13
Minjung: That’s why I prepared these.
Ilwoo: wow! Amazing!
3:20
Minjung: just eat it with your eyes
Ilwoo: That’s so emotional!
Minjung: but it was swollen while I was waiting for you.
Ilwoo: thank you so much nuna!
3:31
Minjung: I really wanted to just put the noodles through the computer, just to share my thoughts with him. You get how I think of you, and I will just eat them all.
Here are screen captures:
WITAT
She was so sweet to Ilwoo! They are too cute!
There was another reunion in person, shortly after High Kick ended… it was the last time for almost 15 years as, Min-jung married a Korean American man and emigrated to New York after High Kick Ended.
It was even more emotional! Seeing Ilwoo and Minjung reunite virtually! …And seeing the little baby boy as a 16 year old!!! Just WOOw! Here are the videos posted at MBC Life in order… surprisingly enough they did not post the whole piece of Ilwoo and Minjung… but you can find this part in Instagram at the MBC account. Seriously MBC… how could you not post this part?!
Hi! This is Clip 8, it’s very short but I wanted to know what Senior Lee Sunjae was saying…
Q: how did it mean to you young, debuting actors like Jung Ilwoo to work with these senior actors?
0:09
Ilwoo: That time, we shared the waiting room together. So when we had important scenes, we visited them in advance and practiced the scene with them. And it was my debut drama, so I didn’t know anything technical such as double action, etc. but still, the senior actors helped me to be shaped well as an actor at the beginning.
0:34
2021 September. Changwon, Gyeongsangnamdo
Lee Sun Jae is still working actively as an actor, traveling all around Korea for the last 65 years. He may have more white hair but his attitude toward acting is the same as 15 years ago.
0:55 The reason why the old actor picks Highkick as his best work is because he still has good memories with the fellow actors from then
1:11 Jung ilwoo was acting for the first time, and there was a singer who just started acting too. There were more actors who did not have many drama acting experiences. Did you have any fear that it might be bad for the Highkick?
1:22 Sunjae: For that, we have to accept it. The acting is like this. When you are in a condition where you can trust each other, then you can expect good acting. If the other actor is not memorizing the scripts well, and can’t say properly and murmur, then you both are in trouble. But if the other actor is trustful, you can even come up with the words that you forgot before.
1:42 We were more like a family. So when we were playing with the kids (Ilwoo and Hyesung, etc), we practiced with them so that we could help them as senior actors.
1:59: Munhee: my room was here and Sunjae’s room was there. And he always arrives at the set very early. He was always ready, so whenever I went there and we practiced, the maximum we did was 20 times.
2:18 Sunjae: I practiced that much also for myself. Of course, I can always say “I am sorry, let’s do it again” when I make mistakes, but if I have to say 3 or 4 times “I am sorry”, then I have to quit this job. If that happens, you will keep being concerned about the scripts, and you can not have facial expressions. When you look at the scripts, it’s really fun. And I think about how to show my facial expressions, how to move my body here, etc. I calculate in my own way. So that when the audiences see the scene, they can laugh 2, 3 times when it could just have been only one laugh.
Here is the first of the clip translations. Please give credit to this website if you are using it to translate to other languages or copying this English version. This is the clip:
Bold ones are from Jung Ilwoo
Italics are the words on the screen.
0:20 Sunjae’s house set for Highkick is restored after 15 years.
0:30 Jung Ilwoo, playing “Lee Yun Ho” for Highkick.
0:36 wow.. It’s home! I will go in through this way.
0:49 Jung Ilwoo is going back in time to when he was the youngest son, Yun Ho.
0:55 In the past, I used to climb and jump over this sofa.
1:04 He was only a young adult with only 20 years of age. (“yes, yes, 2nd base! Run run to the home base! (watching a baseball game) Sunjae: such a silly boy”)
1:13 it brought back those memories I forgot for some time. The show has been over 15 years now, and I was thinking like will the fans and audiences be curious about us after this long time? These worries were in fact in my mind.
1:43 but he always dreamed of this moment.
1:48 (“how do you feel?”)
1:50 the day of last shot for High kick’s set scene, I cried. I was sad thinking that I won’t be able to come back here anymore and it will just be a memory. I am here after almost 15 years and It looks the same as before, so that’s why it’s more interesting. I am the only one that got older.
2:15 (a guy appears!) it’s been over 15 years …(Jung Ilwoo saying things in the background) (Kim Hye Sung, actor, playing Lee Min Ho for Highkick)
It is a huge feat to be able to stay active as an entertainer alone… but Jung Il Woo has managed to do this in one of the toughest and most competitive entertainment businesses in the world, that of South Korea. And when asked about his future plans his cheeky answer “to be a good actor” tells us he will continue to work for some more years! He has so much talent…!
Update: Ilwoo shared today he will continue to act all through his life! I can’t even begin to describe how delighted I am for this! Look:
And he also posted this reel:
Cheers! 건배 일우 씨!
To celebrate him I decided to highlight with videos all the different facets that Ilwoo has shared with us these past 15 years… so many special moments! How can one even begin to say thank you… yet this is my feeble attempt…
Actor
As an actor Ilwoo has delighted us in so many ways! In so many roles. 14 dramas where we have seen him grow as an actor… as a man… as a human being. So hard to choose a scene to represent this… so many, many! favorites… but in the end I decided to go with this scene from Bossam Steal the Fate his latest drama. It was simply perfectly done!
Model
As a model, Ilwoo has had so many photo shoots, and he has endorsed many products. Some of the most beautiful photo sessions have been the BNT International ones. This one took place in 2016. He looked so gorgeous in all the takes. Here is a couple of photos:
This is an interview that was filmed during this Photo Session:
This is its translation:
0:00
Tshirt vs suit = Tshirt!
Summer vs winter? = Summer
I am emotional vs rational? = emotional
Ballad vs Jazz = Ballad
Mountain vs sea = sea
Cute girl vs sexy girl = sexy girl
Soju vs wine = soju+beer
0:16
It’s been 2 years since our last photoshoot in Bali with BNT, and I am here again. I just finished shooting over 50 hours of TV series and came here without sleep, so I look not good now. However, I think the photographer will take the photos well.
0:33
Today, I was thinking about the photoshoot with BNT. 2 years ago, I had a photoshoot with BNT right after I got a best acting male award from MBC.
0:40 (in a few hours he is about to get a ‘special asian award’ in 2016 Asia Model Awards) I will go to the model awards and I will get an award there. I think good things are coming when I have photoshoots with BNT.
0:50 (How have you been lately?)
These days, I am almost done filming Cinderella and the Four Knights. Only about 10 days are left for the final shooting, so it’s quite hectic. I think the result will be good and I am looking forward to it on air.
1:07 I am playing Kang Ji Un, who used to be Han Ji Un, but his grandpa suddenly comes up to him and he lives a different life as the top 1% of Korea. I am playing a very fantastic character. He is a person who looks very cold outside but actually warm inside. I am back to Korean drama after 2 years now, so I am sure viewers will like it.
1:42 Q: Recently, you posted on your social media that your ideal woman is a woman who can use chopsticks well. The fans are curious why that’s the reason.
1:52 There is nothing special about it. I think someone who was raised well and behaved well in their house while they were young is different when I am talking to them compared to others who weren’t. People show what’s in their mind when you are with them for a long time, I have a feeling that when someone can use chopsticks well, it feels like that person was raised well with good etiquette.
(fans! Let’s practice how to use chopsticks well from today!)
2:16: I guess the most important thing is, though, someone who fits well with me.
2:21 Q: any fan meeting plans in Korea and China?
It’s been 10 years since I debuted, and it feels special to me. I had a 10 years anniversary fan meeting in Tokyo. I got a lot of positive energy from the fans who were there for the last 10 years.
2:36 I am planning a fan meeting in Korea around my birthday. Also I am planning a fan meeting in China. I hope you come visit there and have a good time with me.
2:50 Today, I had a photoshoot with BNT. I hope you love it. Also, please give a lot of love to the drama, Cinderella and the four knights. Thank you!
To see more photos from this photo session, you can go HERE.
Me: He changed to wine now!
Singer
As a singer Ilwoo has had singles for three dramas… but this is the song he has sang the most in his Fan Meetings. He also recently chosed it as one of the songs he loves to sing:
This video is from Ilwoo’s Fourth Fan Meeting in Korea, in 2014. These are the lyrics in both Korean and English:
Deli spice – Confession
델리스파이스 – 고백
중2때까지 늘 첫째 줄에 always in the first row until the 2nd year of middle school
겨우 160 이 됐을 무렵 around the time you were 160cm
쓸만한 녀석들은 모두 다 all the useful kids
이미 첫사랑 진행 중 were already experiencing their first love
정말 듣고 싶었던 말이야 it’s something i really wanted to hear
물론 2년전 일이지만 even though it happened 2 years ago
기뻐야하는 게 당연한데 i should be happy about it
내 기분은 그게 아냐 but that’s not how i’m feeling
하지만 미안해 이 넓은 가슴에 묻혀 but i’m sorry, when i was buried in this chest
다른 누구를 생각했었어 i was thinking about someone else
미안해 너의 손을 잡고걸을 때에도 i’m sorry, even while holding your hand and walking
떠올렸었어 그 사람을 i thought about that person
널 좋아하면 좋아할수록 as i like you more and more
상처 입은 날들이 더 많아 there are more days that i find myself hurt
모두가 즐거운 한 때에도 even when everyone was having a good time
나는 늘 그곳에 없어 i was never at that place
정말 미안한 일을 한걸까 was it really something to be so apologetic for?
나쁘진 않았었지만 even though it wasn’t anything bad
친구인 채 였다면 오히려 perhaps if we were friends
즐거웠을 것만 같아 it would have been fun and enjoyable
하지만 미안해 네 넓은 가슴에 묻혀 but i’m sorry, when i was buried in your chest
다른 누구를 생각했었어 i was thinking about someone else
미안해 너의 손을 잡고 걸을 때에도 i’m sorry, even while holding your hand and walking
떠올랐었어 그 사람이 i thought about that person
정말 듣고 싶었던 말이야 it’s something i really wanted to hear
물론 2년전 일이지만 even though it happened 2 years ago
기뻐야하는 게 당연한데 i should be happy about it
내 기분은 그게 아냐 but that’s not how i’m feeling
하지만 미안해 네 넓은 가슴에 묻혀 but i’m sorry, when i was buried in your chest
다른 누구를 생각했었어 i was thinking about someone else
미안해 너의 손을 잡고 걸을 때에도 i’m sorry, even while holding your hand and walking
떠올렸었어 그 사람을 i thought about that person
하지만 미안해 네 넓은 가슴에 묻혀 but i’m sorry, when i was buried in your chest
다른 누구를 생각했었어 i was thinking about someone else
미안해 너의 손을 잡고 걸을 때에도 i’m sorry, even while holding your hand and walking
떠올랐었어 그 사람이 i thought about that person

Very interesting lyrics. Here are a couple of photos when he sang this song during the fan meeting:
Ambassador
As an ambassador, Jung Il woo has supported cultural and religious organizations. This is a video of when he became .an Ambassador for the Seoul Catholic Social Welfare Society in 2019:

1:23 May God’s blessings be on your way in the future.
Chef
So hard to choose a video of our dear Ilwoo cooking… I settled on this one starting time: 11:23… when he cooks for Kanghoon. Just cuteness overload:
And to finish you off with cuteness excess… do you remember this:
Ohhhh!!! Adorables!
DJ
As a DJ, Ilwoo has serenated us with his favorite songs…for so many years! But this video of him telling us how meaningful each song was in the different moments of his life topped them all!
Photographer
As a photographer, Ilwoo has also shared so many of his photos and videos. One thing that we discovered this year through a new show called Phone Cleansing, is that due to his accident from 2006, he still suffers from amnesia and he uses photography to remember people and places. This is a recent video created form that show:
Magazine Editor
This was such a delight! Shortly after Jung Il woo returned to spotlight he gifted us a magazine! His own creation… it was so beautiful! It came out in the Spring so it was called ‘Bloom.’ I really hope someday he does another one… one a year Ilwoo Ssi? What do you say? Here is a video of the magazine… it is still available for sale in his website digitally… go HERE.
This is a video of him posing in pink… I used Jungyup’s “When did you come” song:
World Traveler
Jung Il woo has shared so many photographs and videos of his trips, but this video which he created himself is my favorite:
Athlete
As an athlete we have seen Ilwoo play soccer, golf, ride bikes and surf. I decided however to showcase his ‘Athletic’ Fan Meeting of 2011 when Ilwoo shared his very athletic side with his fans. In it you will see him play dodgeball and run… and the place that served as background for this meeting was his high school:
There are so many gorgeous photos. of him from this Fan Meeting. Here are a couple:
One can feel his joy on this day… and almost here his laughter! If you wish to see more of this Fan Meeting go HERE. His High School? Go HERE.
One of a KIND person!
Last but not least… and definitely what touches me the most about Ilwoo is his kindness. He is one of the kindest people I’ve ever known, if not the kindest. To showcase this beautiful part of his being, I have something very special to share with you… something I came across recently in YouTube. Do you remember these photos:
They were for an event called “Love Kiss Campaign.” and I found a video that displays the entire recording of this photo session! It is 25 minutes straight of pure Ilwoo’s kindness! Here is the video…
I was so in awe of how kind he was to this little boy! And then you see him recording a phrase and getting his ‘alone’ photo takes… so many times! My heart completely melted! He must be an angel… he has to be!
Jung Il woo, thank you for all these delights… thank you for being someone who brings light to my life… who makes me smile! Through you I have learned so much not only about you, and South Korea and even the World… but also about myself. I continue to learn…
May GOD bless you with much health, and many great opportunities to let the world see the great person you are… So 건배 일우 씨! Cheers for this 15th year and the many more to come!
Jung Il woo was chosen to introduce the “French Drama Festival” due to his popularity in Wavve with Bossam Steal the Fate.
Here is the video:
My Screen Captures:
This is a short article about it. Translated via Google Translate. Source
Actor Jung Il-woo will personally introduce the ‘French Drama Festival’.
The ‘French Drama Festival’ hosted by Wave, the French Embassy in Korea, and TV5 Monde was exclusively released through Wave from October 21st. Actor Jung Il-woo, who performed well in the popular Wave original drama ‘Bossam – Stealing Destiny’, was selected as a public relations ambassador.
The crime drama ‘Cheyenne & Lola’ is reminiscent of the French version of ‘Thelma and Louise’. It tells the story of Cheyenne, who was released three months ago, and Lola, a selfish person from Paris, who accidentally get involved in a murder case and asks for help from a criminal organization to clean up the body. The unpredictable story they unfold against the solidarity and criminal organization of two women who are so different gives a thrilling pleasure.
‘Laetitia’ is a six-part series about the disappearance of an 18-year-old girl, ‘Leticia’ (Marie Collon). Based on a true story, this work captures viewers with a solid story about the disappearance of a girl and an event that has had an impact on her family, the police, social welfare centers, prosecutors and the judiciary, and the French government.
In addition, as the director of ‘Pacific Criminal’, the movie ‘Hate’, ‘Crimson River’ and the male protagonist of ‘Amelie’ From the thriller ‘The Bureau’, played by Mathieu Kassovitz, who is familiar with Korea, as a secret agent, French dramas armed with rich attractions and diverse personalities will be presented to domestic viewers.
Lastly, ‘The Art of Crime’, which depicts the collaboration between the police and art historians who are put into a team to crack down on the trafficking of cultural assets, is a unique subject that combines crime and art history, as well as the chemistry between the two people, France, famous as a cultural powerhouse. You can get a glimpse of its cultural heritage.
I was working on his 15th anniversary post when I ran into this in Naver.
Actor Jung Il-woo suffered an eye injury while filming.
Dispatch = Reporter Jeong Tae-yoon
9 Ato Entertainment said in a phone call with ‘Dispatch’ on the 5th, “Jung Il-woo injured his eye while filming. He is currently resting after treatment.”
As a result of the diagnosis, his retina was damaged. The agency said, “It is not a serious injury. However, it is in a state that needs stability,” he explained.
Jung Il-woo recently filmed the movie ‘Highway Family’ (Director Lee Sang-moon). It is known that he was injured because the action didn’t match in the scene where he was slapped by a minor.
‘Highway Family’ is the story of a family living a homeless life like camping along a highway rest area. It depicts the story of a couple accidentally holding hands and getting the courage to stand up again.
Jung Il-woo plays the role of a father of two and the head of a family. It is his first father role in film history. He is going to show off his gentle image and show his fatherly love for taking care of his family terribly.
‘Highway Family’ is scheduled to finish filming in the second half of this year and release next year.
It was so WOOnderful! So emotional … to see them all walking back into the set one by one and greet each other… they are truly blessed to have the opportunity to reunite after so many years! It also marks the 15th Debut Anniversary of Ilwoo’s career as an actor… I can’t imagine a better way to celebrate than with those people he started his career with! Who nurtured him! I’m so glad he got these incredible moments…
The show basically had two parts, in the first we see every character return to the set reuniting and we also get to see Kang Yoo-mi and Seo Min-jung in separate settings. Then, there are some moments where they connect and talk about what it meant for them. What did it mean for the young ones to be with these experienced actors for example. Then we get to delight in the series 5 top episodes. Also a very special treat… the cast reenacts of one of the scenes where Na Moon hee totally blows us away with her acting!
What a WOOnderful trip down memory lane…
MBC did a great job posting about 90% of the show in separate videos… here they are in order. I will translate a couple of these videos and post them soon!
Yes! All the actors filmed a special documentary for the coming 15th year Anniversary of the Premier of this show, that also coincides with Jung Il Woo’s Debut! Such a special moment for our dear Ilwoo Oppa!
The documentary will air in two parts. The first one will be on MBC at 8:50PM this coming Friday 29th of October. The second one on November 12th at the same time.
These are the previews so far, they are in a channel of MBC called MBC Life:
I’ve been doing some research of where one can see this show, for free. The following suggestion works for me on a desktop computer and in the US (where I live). So far, the best I’ve found is to watch it right on their channel live. You just keep refreshing the page and continue watching. (You have to skip a commercial each time) I know it’s not the best but I think we will still be able to see Oppa a bit more than what they will post in YouTube eventually.
MBC is one of Korea’s main TV station so it is very good at protecting itself!
HERE is the link to their channel. Enjoy bit by bit!
This is an article from MBC translated using Google Translate. It’s pretty accurate!
The main characters of the ‘High Kick’ series gathered in ‘Docuplex’.
According to MBC on the 21st, in the documentary program ‘Docuplex’, the cast members of ‘Unstoppable High Kick’ gather to tell the story behind the scenes.
It is known that the sitcom – Unstoppable High Kick or High Kick Without Hesitation’ starts with two great actors, Lee Soon-jae and Na Moon-hee, who played the role of a married couple in the play, and the Lee Soon-jae family, including Jung Jun-ha, Park Hae-mi, Jung Il-woo, and Kim Hye-seong, all gather in one place. Among them, the highlight is that the meeting took place at the filming site where Lee Soon-jae’s house set from ‘High Kick Without Hesitation’ was reproduced. The cast members who returned to ‘My House At That Time’ after 15 years were all deeply moved by the set.
In particular, actor Jung Il-woo, who was the best at school in the drama and gained explosive popularity for his love for teacher Seo, appeared on the set wearing a leather jacket just like Yunho at the time. Jung Il-woo said, “I actually cried on the last day of the high kick set. It was a place I couldn’t come back anymore, and it was very painful to think that it would become a memory for me. But coming back here is very emotional and a little bit heartbreaking. Almost 15 years It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I think it’s even more interesting to come as it is.”
Not only that, but also the actor Kim Hye-seong, who plays Min-ho, surprised everyone by appearing in front of her family in a completely different appearance than he did at the time after he had not been active in the entertainment industry. Kim Hye-seong said, “Sometimes I wondered if we could all see each other like this.” “Of course, I should contact you, but I also have a guilty heart, and I think the biggest thing is the joy and tears.”
On the other hand, in the teaser video released for the first time, other main characters produced by ‘High Kick without hesitation’ are also making their viewers excited by foretelling their appearances. Actor Park Min-young made her debut as Yu-mi, Min-ho’s girlfriend and girl with a mysterious secret, and since then she has risen to the ranks of Korea’s top actresses. The production team’s message is that the fact that she appears in this documentary, who rarely appears outside of work, can confirm her love for High Kick.
Above all, with the appearance of actress Seo Min-jung, the interest of viewers is heightening. In the drama, she formed a love triangle between Choi Min-yong and Jung Il-woo, and she received explosive love as Cinderella in ‘Minmin vs Yoonmin’. High-kick fans are paying keen attention to how she, who is currently living as an ordinary housewife in New York, came to stand in front of the camera, and what kind of meeting or chemistry she will show with her opponents and other members in this documentary.
Meanwhile, the High Kick episode of ‘Docuplex’ will be broadcast on the 29th.
