Kim Myung-min recently met with Sports Chosun at the Nuri Dream Square Business Tower in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, and said he gained about 7kg before filming `Your Honor.'
Genie TV's original drama Your Honor, which first aired on the 12th of last month, is a fatherly instinct confrontation between a judge covering up his son's murder, a criminal gang boss chasing his son's killer, and two fathers who decide to become monsters for their children. Director Pyo Min-soo, who directed 'The Moon in the Daytime', 'The Third Charm', 'Producer', 'Iris2', and 'Full House', participated as creators. On top of that, director Yoo Jong-sun, who directed 'Paper Moon', 'Eosa and Joy', '60 Days, Designated Survivor', and writer Kim Jae-hwan, who wrote 'Boy's Generation', gathered expectations. Kim Myung-min played as Kim Kang-heon, chairman of Woowon Group, who is in power above the law.
He added about 7kg to improve the character's completeness, saying, `It's not easy to gain weight. I asked my manager to eat a high-calorie hamburger and sleep at night. No matter how hard I tried to bulk up, it didn't work out. I think I've eaten all the hamburgers I'll eat for the rest of my life. That's how I gained weight, but I thought I was too focused on weight, so I didn't want to mention it separately. But people around me told me what's wrong with my face, so I told you that I gained some weight. When filming, I tried to empathize more with Kim Kang-heon's inner self or the similar situation of the character", he explained.
At the same time, he confessed the burden of 'method acting' title honestly. Kim Myung-min said "Everyone around me said it looked hard because I was doing it too much. That's why people seem to have stayed away, too. Originally, I was supposed to act easily, but I heard that I was stuck in it and looked like I was acting forcefully. At that time, I did my best acting""Your Honor" I wanted to solve Kim Kang-heon comfortably regardless of the method. When I shot, I tried to act while working with the actors, and when the camera turned off, I tried to be comfortable while smiling."
Meanwhile, 'Your Honor' is a total of 10 episodes, and the 9th episode will air on Genie TV, Genie TV Mobile, and ENA at 10 p.m. on the 9th.
