Actor Kang Dong-won shared an anecdote about his debut.
On the 21st, a video titled "Kang Dong-won Who Never Ages! The Most Extraordinary Life Story Revealed for the First Time (Jang Young-ran, Lee Ji-hye)" was released on the YouTube channel 'Study King Jincheonjae'.
The released video was conducted with a concept of the group Bangtan Pink, consisting of Hong Jin-kyung, Lee Ji-hye, and Jang Young-ran, reuniting to interview and select a member for a mixed group, with Kang Dong-won and Nam Chang-hee appearing as candidates.

When asked to talk about his life, Kang Dong-won said, "If I talk about my age, I'll lose weight. I'll skip that part. Just kidding," eliciting laughter.
He then explained, "I was born in Busan in 1981 and lived there until I was six, then moved to Changwon and attended middle school there, went to Geochang for high school, and came to Seoul."
Hong Jin-kyung asked, "What about your siblings?" Kang Dong-won replied, "I have one older sister. She was born in 1978." Upon hearing this, Jang Young-ran expressed her delight, saying, "We are the same age."
Recalling his debut days when he started as a model, Kang Dong-won shared, "I did many magazine shoots. I was just stopped on the street." He recounted being street-cast in Apgujeong. When asked about his major, he answered, "Mechanical Engineering," receiving cheers.
