Kim Jin Young once released an anecdote he had with former President Moon Jae In on a live broadcast hosted by BJ-Youtuber Oking in March last year. Revealing his special experience, he said, “With the thought that I should leave a strong impression in front of the President because that was the only chance in my life, I said ‘Mr. President! Please stroke my cheeks!’. Then I pulled the President’s hands and made him grab my cheeks with both hands. The bodyguards were immediately on security posture”.
He continued, “At that time, I was really the youngest person there. I think I was able to do that because I was the youngest”, adding “There was no one younger than me at that time, so I didn’t have to be too serious. The seniors also applauded my confidence and spirit.”
Meanwhile, Kim Jin Young is considered one of the contributors to the success of “Single’s Inferno 2”.
