On the January 6 episode of JTBC’s entertainment program “Knowing Bros”, Nam Goong Min and Ahn Eun-jin, the main cast of MBC drama “My Dearest”, appeared as guests.
Here, Nam Goong Min addressed a famous line of himself in “My Dearest”, saying, “No matter how much I practiced at home, it was useless. The tone came out perfectly when I looked into Gil-chae’s eyes on a high hill with Hwangmae Mountain, where the wind was blowing fiercely.”
“It was so heart-wrenching. I love her, but it’s heartbreaking that she doesn’t understand my feelings. I think that’s how the tone came out”, the actor added, explaining his character’s emotions.
Nam Goong Min also discussed why he worked out while preparing for “My Dearest” ,’ revealing, “I bulked up to 82kg for ‘The Veil,’ but I lost weight and didn’t have muscles for ‘My Dearest’. However, the writer called and asked, ‘Can we insert a scene where you take off your top?'”
Recalling the moment, he said, “Since refusing because it’s hard to build muscles would ruin the team’s atmosphere, I said, ‘I’ll create fashion muscles.’ So, I started working out around 4 am at home, consistently for about a month, 30 to 40 minutes each time.”
The actor also amazed everyone by saying, “I lost weight to about 65kg. I thought Lee Jang-hyun (Nam Goong Min’s character in “My Dearest”) should be muscular because he’s good at fighting, so I worked hard on exercising with love for the role.”
