Kang Min Hyuk
The drummer of CNBLUE, Kang Min Hyuk starred in It’s Okay, Daddy’s Girl, Heartstrings, My Husband Got a Family and Heirs.
CNBLUE’s members are all tall, so it looks good to see you guys in suits.
Nowadays, everyone is tall and handsome. When I was on a drama’s set before, all the actors were tall. Min Ho hyug and Woo Bin hyug are both tall, so I am not tall in comparison (haha).
The cast of Heirs is especially tall. My first question is about Heirs, which finished with a high popularity. That was a really good drama. How was acting with actors and actresses who are your age?
We got along with each other so we acting was like playing. The older brothers were very funny and took care of the younger cast. I am close with Shin Hye noona because we starred in Heartstrings together. Krystal and I became close because of Heirs. We shot the drama comfortably. She was like a cute younger sister. Hyung Sick is just my age so it was funny.
Were you and Krystal (Soo Jung) new to each other? You and her worked in harmony.
Yes. She and I met through this drama. When I connect with my old buddies, some of them make a joke that whether I am a real boyfriend to Krystal or not, our success could be attributed to the drama’s writer and director who made the couple so lovely. On the drama’s set, Krystal was so shy, but once shooting started, she did well. So it could be naturally great I think.
Yoon Chang Young, who you played, was a perfect boyfriend. What is your idea of a perfect boyfriend?
Was he? People around me say to me that he is a man who doesn’t exist in the real world, but I don’t know what kind of man is a perfect man and why people said that the man seems not to exist in reality. Was he seen that way because he was qualified and had many things?
From the point of view of a woman, first, he is handsome and smart but the smartness isn’t only for him. He takes care of other people in a good manner, and he knows only one woman who he loves. Meanwhile, he is even good at 밀당 Mil-dang (playing games in a relationship).
I can’t remember well because it has been a long time being single, but I am not the kind of man who plays games. I think the game is needed in a relationship but what I do is just pushing. If I like someone, I rush towards her.
If you are that kind of a person, can you handle love and work at the same time?
I think that if I date someone while working, I will work harder. Because there isn’t a person at my side who gives me energy when I work, I can't get energy, and if I only do work, it’s boring. I don’t know because I’ve never had a girlfriend while I work, but it would be a great support for me to meet a girlfriend, eat something together, and call her. Ah, but she doesn’t show up till now.
7.Today’s concept is Valentine’s Day. I'm sorry to hear that it has been a long time that you've been single. How are you going to pass the day?
Even if I had a girlfriend, it seems that I wouldn't prepare the day. I would give a gift when I want to do it. Not on any special day.
You guys give the same answer like you had a conversation before (laugh). Women will sulk if you don’t prepare these special days.
Do they really do that? I don’t know whether my girlfriend would get angry or not because I haven't had a girlfriend in a long time. I am in a serious state.
What should we do? Your cells of love are dying.
That’s what I mean. I was trying to save them while playing BoNa’s boyfriend, but it is getting harder again after finishing the drama. I think I should keep acting. When I play a character in a drama, it isn’t real, but I date someone, so I want to act (haha).
Who do you want to be your lover?
It could be anyone. I might become close with someone who is new to me, or I might hate someone because of their character.
It makes sense. What thing left much to be desired for you in Heirs?
I have a lot. It was true that I was greedy. There were many characters in Heirs, so I thought I should try to appear in more scenes. But it was wrong. I changed my mind to melt into the drama in the middle of the shooting. Trying to overly stand out doesn't seem to be right.
You learned an important thing. You have a gentle and right-minded image, and now it has become stronger. Kim Woo Bin chose you as the man who he wants to introduce to his younger sister. Isn’t it the best compliment that you can get from him as his co-worker and a man?
Ah, I knew that. I was really glad about it. If people read his interview closely, he said that he wanted to introduce Chang Young to his sister, but anyway I played the character, so I think it is related to me a little bit. (Laugh) I texted him to say thank you.
What did he answer?
Articles become overly exaggerated (haha). Nowadays, what he says becomes an issue in real life so he’s careful while talking.
Do you like your right-minded image? Sometime it seems very stuffy. Have you dreamt of deviating from that image?
Of course, I like that people look at me in a good way. And the right-minded image is just an image. I can play other characters in the next dramas. for example, right now I have a right-minded image, but if I play a human trash character later, isn’t that a plus in my job? I think it is.
The more guy friends you have, the more difficult it is to be a couple.
My friends are all good at having relationships with someone. My lover will appear in due time, but that ‘in due time’ has been a long time. I feel the necessity of dating. It has been one or two years. It was okay before, but now I can’t spare my 20’s. It is said that having a variety of experience with dating is good. I think it isn't bad to have a girlfriend. In my situation, not dating is bad (haha).
15. Aren’t you the kind of person who lectures your girlfriend a lot? According to one member of CNBLUE, you nag a lot.
If I am with a person who isn’t quite like me, or I am in the position to say something. I talk a lot to Jong Hyun hyung. We have different ways of thinking. He is older than me, but it’s fun to tease him. Actually, I don’t talk a lot in order to be considerate of other’s feelings, even if I have something to say. That is my way of taking care of them, but sometimes people think that I am not interested in them, so they feel sad. Even one word is so important.
Do you think that one word came out well in this interview?
It’s our fourth anniversary, so I want to say thank you to our members. I am not a funny guy, and I am a poor speaker. Please say that I appreciate our members in writing, and write about our album well. In a year, our album comes out, and we did our best, especially Yong Wha did.
