Actor Seol Kyeong-gu revealed an anecdote about how he recognized the exceptional talent of Kim Min-ha and Jeon So-mi at an early stage.

On the 27th, a video titled “Don’t Cut Your Nails and Throw Them Anywhere. It Changes Your Life. | Yes, I’m Here to Promote ‘The Rat’” was released on the YouTube channel ‘Netflix Korea.’ On that day, Ryu Jun-yeol and Seol Kyeong-gu from Netflix’s ‘The Rat’ appeared in the video and shared stories.

That day, Seol Kyeong-gu spoke about his special connection with actress Kim Min-ha.

Seol Kyeong-gu said, “I didn’t advise her to debut; I just got close to her parents. Once, while we were having fun at a karaoke room, Min-ha stopped by briefly to sing and left. But she sang so well,” he recalled.

He continued, “She had no formal training yet, but she sang so beautifully that I said, ‘You should make her an actress.’ Her parents replied, ‘She’s in her third year of high school; what are you talking about?’ Still, I insisted, ‘Her talent is no joke,’” he stated.

Seol Kyeong-gu added, “Even though she was shy, she did everything she set out to do. Eventually, she enrolled in the Department of Theater and Film and became my junior,” sharing a laugh.

He also revealed his connection with singer Jeon So-mi. Seol Kyeong-gu said, “So-mi’s father and I are close, so she used to visit our house since she was an elementary school student. I’ve known her since she was a baby.” He recalled, “She was bright and full of talent. She was curious, and her eyes sparkled.”

He further explained, “So-mi’s father kept sending me recordings of So-mi singing. After listening to them, I said, ‘You should make her a singer.’” Seol Kyeong-gu joked, “It just happened by chance,” eliciting laughter.
