[SBS Star] Kim Min-jae Was an Idol Trainee for Four Years?

Korean actor Kim Min-jae revealed that he used to train to become an idol singer.

On May 3, Kim Min-jae sat down for an interview with reporters from various media outlets at a cafe.

During the interview, he said, "I've been doing music since when I was 17, I still spend time doing music when I'm free. I was actually a trainee for about four years." The actor said, "When I was a trainee, the only things I could say were 'Thank you' and 'Sorry'. I couldn't express the true feelings inside me."

He continued, "One day, my agency told me to join an acting class to help me express different emotions well when singing songs. I found acting fun, as I was able to let my anger out and even swear while reading the script." Then, Kim Min-jae revealed that he had no regret of ending his training days.

He said, "There were lots of restrictions as a trainee. I couldn't do many things that I wanted to do, and I couldn't say anything when things felt unfair."

Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae's new movie 'LOVE+SLING' is set to be released in theaters on May 9. (Lee Narin, Credit= 'real.be' Instagram, LOTTE Entertainment)
