• tvN Monday-Tuesday Drama 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow!' Interview with Actress Kang Mi-na, who plays Yoon No-a

Actress Kang Mi-na of 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow!' revealed that she lost a whopping 13 kilograms for the production.

On the 29th, Kang Mi-na shared various stories during an interview held at a café in Jongno-gu, Seoul, regarding tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow!' (written by Kim Kyung-min, directed by Jo Eun-sol).

'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow!' is a work depicting the journey of a seven-year office worker suffering from daily monotony who meets a sharp-tongued supervisor and regains excitement in both love and work. In the drama, Kang Mi-na plays Yoon No-a, a five-year office worker experiencing growing pains in love and career.

Kang Mi-na previously portrayed a high school villain in the Netflix drama 'Kill It.' Having made a strong impression in her previous role, she stated, "For this production, I had to shed my high school look and appear as an office worker. Because of that concern, I lost a significant amount of weight. I wanted to avoid looking like my 'Kill It' self and instead embody Yoon No-a completely, so I aimed for a look suitable for an office drama and lost 13 kilograms."

Kang Mi-na also revealed her weight loss process. She explained, "While filming 'I'll Go to Work Tomorrow!', I continued losing weight. I did it within limits that wouldn't be too noticeable. I naturally dislike exercise, so on my days off, I tried moving just a bit more and went for many walks. I also reduced sodium intake and made sandwiches my staple food. Once I started focusing on eating more vegetables, my weight dropped steadily."

Regarding reactions to her appearance change, she said, "Since I'm human, it feels good to hear people say I look pretty. I actively sought out such feedback. From the moment I woke up until I fell asleep, I searched for Kang Mi-na online." She added with a smile, "While fan reactions were nice, public reactions were particularly interesting. I still remember how intensely people praised my looks."

Kang Mi-na stated she faced no hardships from her diet. She explained, "Having dieted many times before, I became familiar with my body. After that, dieting didn't feel difficult. My priority was understanding my body, so this time my diet goal was 'If it gets too hard, I'll stop.' If it became tough, I'd eat tteokbokki and adjust the next day. It wasn't as hard as I thought."
