Kang Min-hyuk "I don't feel uncomfortable with senior Lee Dong-gun, I've never been scolded by director Kim Cheol-gyu..."

Band group CNBLUE member and actor Kang Min-hyeok mentioned the collaboration with director Kim Chul-gyu and Lee Dong-gun.

Kang Min-hyuk met with Ten Asia at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 5th and told various stories about the Netflix series 'Celebrity', which was released on the 30th of last month.

'Celebrity' is a story depicting the glamorous yet intense bare faces of celebrities faced by Ari (played by Park Kyu-young), who jumped into the world where becoming famous makes money. The story of SNS, which is very close to our daily life, and the influencers who reign there as emerging aristocrats are excitingly unraveled.

According to FlixPatrol, an online video streaming service ranking aggregation site, 'Celebrity' ranked third in the TV show category. 1 in Vietnam, and top 10 in 35 countries, including Venezuela, UAE, Turkey, Taiwan, Thailand, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, Korea, South Africa, Singapore, Serbia, Saudi Arabia, Peru, and Portugal.

In the play, Kang Min-hyeok played Joon-kyung. Jun-kyung, a 3rd-generation conglomerate, becomes curious about Ari, who does not give up on him, and opens an SNS account that he had no interest in.

Director Kim Chul-kyu, who was in charge of directing earlier, said, "Actor Kang Min-hyuk was like that. He's not an actor who's good at acting yet. He's been called a lot. They know what they're lacking in, and they've tried to fix it. They keep coming back to read, fix, and try again. This process I went through a lot,” he said.

Kang Min-hyeok said, "To be honest, I read the article too. I tried to contact the director and ask, 'You've never scolded me.' There is also. He often came and asked us to match together. We spent a lot of time together. The intention was to make sure that there could be confusion during filming, so we went to the studio a lot and talked about this and that, and it was time to adjust. I have never been scolded or anything like that. "I'm not that ignorant," he emphasized, drawing laughter.

Kang Min-hyuk mentioned Park Kyu-young, Lee Chung-ah, and Lee Dong-gun in turn. First of all, regarding Park Gyu-young, "He was meticulous and delicate, so he suited me well. I also like to be meticulous and capture the feelings of the other actor and make them comfortable. Were they of the same mind in that respect? We communicated well. We practiced with Kyu-young. We also talked a lot. It was to the point of saying thank you for guiding us well."

Regarding Lee Chung-ah, "Since it couldn't be done, I think I could breathe more comfortably. Apparently, Cheong-ah noona seems to have a lot of worries about filming together a little longer. I saw her sad eyes. She is good at acting, so I feel relaxed. "While filming, I also paid a lot of attention to Han Joon-kyung's composure. Composure and composure met, so breathing was good without any discomfort. We filmed together leisurely."

Regarding working with Lee Dong-gun, "It was in the scene with senior Dong-gun that I felt that the director and I were holding the character well and leading it. It was when the senior and I felt that there was no sense of incongruity. I have a baby-faced face, so in the scene with senior Dong-gun, I thought about what to do if there was a little sense of incongruity. The senior did a good job, and the director guided me well, so it seems that the tension between the two men continued. I didn't feel (about the age difference). I saw it from the viewer's point of view."
