Age Akaso and Kang Hye-won, Korean and Japanese youth actors, met on "Love at First Taste."
At 2 p.m. on the 6th, a production presentation for the Japanese TV TOKYO drama Premier 23 "Love at First Bite" was held at the St. Grammall Room in D-Cube City, Gyeongin-ro, Guro-gu, Seoul. Age Akaso and Kang Hye-won attended.
Kang Hye-won said, "Loving animation helped me a lot because I decided to appear on "Love at First Taste." I could have gotten closer to Aki Akaso through animation," he said.
Kang Hye-won said, "The donuts were delicious, which was one of the delicious things I ate while filming in Japan. The texture was good," he said.
Kang Hye-won said, "The group IZ*ONE's activities also helped the Japanese acting activities," adding, "I was able to get used to it to some extent and it didn't feel like an unfamiliar environment. In terms of language, if I had not been active in Japan at that time, I would not have been able to speak Japanese like this in two months. I listened to the Japanese recording lines every morning and practiced," he said.
In response, Age Akaso said, "I was surprised that (Kang He-won) was so good at Japanese that I thought he might be Japanese. He studies Japanese even when he has time in the middle of filming. He said he would be very surprised to see the work.
"Love at First Taste" is a pure love story that conveys the sincerity of Hase Taiga and Park Lin, who are confused by differences in cultures and values between Japan and Korea but are attracted to each other.
Age Akaso plays Hase Taiga, a promising marathon ace in the play but lethargic after frustration. Kang Hye-won played the role of Park Lin, a character who lives faithfully every day while conflicting between real life and future dreams in her study abroad life to learn animation.
"Love at First Taste" will air every Monday at 11:06 p.m. from the 12th, and will be released simultaneously on Netflix.
