Actor Kim Min-jae: “Best Couple Award for 2 consecutive years? I hope it’s either Park Eun-bin or me”

Actor Kim Min-jae confessed his feelings toward the season of year-end awards ceremonies.  

During the final interview, Kim Min-jae expressed his affection for KBS 2TV’s Wednesday-Thursday drama “Dali and Cocky Prince” (written by Son Heung-hye and Park Se-eun, directed by Lee Jung-seop) after the filming was finished. 

“Dali and Cocky Prince” is an art romance in which a “cost-effectiveness” man who is a parvenu who lacks education but makes up for his lacking with his social skills and a woman who comes from a rich family with a love for things with high prices, narrows the gap between each other through a museum.

In this work, Kim Min-jae played the role of “Don Don F&B” Jin Moo-hak, who only knows money (“don” stands for pig and money), and had a sweet romance with Kim Dal-ri (Park Kyu-young), the daughter of a rich family, who only knows art.

On the same day, Kim Min-jae talked about ratings, saying, “Of course, there’s no way for me to stop thinking about it while working on a drama. But that part is not something I could manage. Therefore, I try to work hard in every drama so that I won’t regret anything. I’m really thankful to people who’ve watched the drama.”

He expressed similar thoughts about awards ceremonies. When asked, “Did you expect to win the Best Couple Award for two consecutive years?”, Kim Min-jae shyly answered, “If they give me an award, I would appreciate it. However, I think this is also the part that I try not to think about in advance. I felt grateful receiving it, but…”

Moreover, regarding the fact that he met actress Park Eun-bin, who was his partner in his previous work, at a year-end awards ceremony representing different dramas, Kim Min-jae drew attention by saying, “Although we are competing with each other for the Best Actor Award this year, I think it would still be so great no matter who wins the award between us.”
