Kang Min Hyuk Expands Acting Career

Aside from being part of a band, Kang Min Hyuk also expanded his career in the acting industry. Last year, he joined MBC’s rom-com, Oh My Lady Lord.

The K-drama tells the story of a top thriller writer and a rom-com actress who “won’t date” and “can’t date,” respectively. Kang Min Hyuk scored the role of Jung Yoo Jin, a chaebol who has a close friendship with actress Oh Ju In in the drama.

“I think I was attracted to Jung Yoo Jin’s unique way of expressing his feelings for Oh Ju In. Jung Yoo Jin is a calm and powerful person. He is more mature than he looks. Sometimes I’m surprised at how confident he is,” he said.

Oh My Lady Lord premiered on Mar. 24, 2021.
