Actor Yoon Si-yoon shared behind-the-scenes stories from 'King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu'.

On the 1st, the MBC variety program 'Radio Star' (hereinafter 'Ras') aired a special episode titled 'Sons of National Team Representatives', featuring Ryu Soo-young, Choi Jin-hyuk, Yoon Si-yoon, and B1A4's San.

That day, Yoon Si-yoon spoke about his lead role in 'King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu': "After debuting with 'High Kick Through the Roof', this was my first serious drama as a lead, and there was strong opposition from everyone around me. The opposition was so intense that the director and writer wanted to apologize to me and suggested meeting at a café. It was clearly a situation where they were going to tell me they were sorry, but I was so earnestly preparing that I didn't notice. The director said that my sad expression and my bright way of living reminded him of Tak-gu, so he decided to trust me and go with it. I found out later," he said.

Regarding the viewership ratings of 'King of Baking, Kim Tak-gu', Yoon Si-yoon said, "The first episode started with 14.2% viewership, and the final episode reached 50.8%," leaving everyone surprised.

Speaking about the filming set, he explained, "There were many sad scenes. In the beginning, crying was extremely difficult. I had to cry, but even as time passed, no tears came out. Eventually, the filming was delayed because I couldn't cry, which became a burden. On the second day, when I still couldn't cry, the director got angry. I was feeling down on my own when (Park) Sung-woong came over and told me to focus and think about the story I had. Suddenly, he called out 'Tak-gu' and acted as my mother. With his face as Jung-gu, he used a female voice. I couldn't immerse myself at all. He squeezed everything out of me. That gave me strength, and from then on, I started to get the feel of it."
