In a recent episode of Kim Jong-kook's YouTube channel, 'GYM JONG KOOK,' a video titled 'Still a Coveted Actor Brother... (Feat. Kim Young-kwang, Ma Seon-ho)' was released.
During the video, Kim Young-kwang promoted his appearance in the drama 'Eunsoo's Good Day' while performing lower body exercises in front of Kim Jong-kook. 'Eunsoo's Good Day' stars Lee Young-ae and tells the story of a parent who wants to protect their family and a two-faced teacher who stumble upon a bag of drugs, leading to a dangerous and desperate partnership.
Kim Jong-kook asked Kim Young-kwang if he pursued a degree in theater and film after becoming an actor. Kim Young-kwang explained, "I decided to go to the theater and film department while preparing to become an actor after starting as a model." Kim Jong-kook then inquired if acting was his dream from a young age, to which Kim Young-kwang replied, "Actually, my dream wasn't to be a model or an actor; I wanted to run a comic book and DVD rental shop."
Kim Young-kwang shared, "I used to buy and collect comic books from secondhand bookstores and worked part-time jobs. Then, I was cast as a model." Kim Jong-kook asked about his favorite comics, and Kim Young-kwang mentioned boxing comics, which led to an animated discussion about comics.
Kim Jong-kook also asked Kim Young-kwang about his favorite foods. Kim Young-kwang revealed, "I like meat and don't eat vegetables much. I also tend not to eat based on my mood." He mentioned that there are days when he doesn't eat at all, saying, "Sometimes I feel unwell from the morning, and eating makes me feel heavy."
Regarding weight management during his modeling days, Kim Young-kwang said, "I've been skinny since I was young, so eating was more important than anything else when exercising." When asked what he ate to grow taller, Kim Young-kwang drew attention by revealing that he drank a lot of milk.
