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.”
