Song Kang, the “face genius” of his school days… “I drew attention even when I stayed still” (You Quiz) [Full Story]



(Xports News reporter Oh Soo-jung) On 'You Quiz,' Song Kang looked back on his school days, when he could not help but attract attention because of his appearance, regardless of his own wishes. 

On the 26th, actor Song Kang, who returned after completing his military service, appeared on the tvN entertainment program 'You Quiz on the Block' and shared his story. 



During the broadcast, Yoo Jae-suk praised Song Kang's appearance, saying, "Everyone was making a fuss, saying, 'Song Kang's looks don't even show any signs of a military hiatus,' and it really does look like you haven't had one." 

Song Kang replied, "I wanted to minimize my military hiatus, so I used a sheet mask once a day in the army. I also slept more regularly and took better care of myself. I first started running in the army." 

Song Kang, who said he takes diligent care of his skin, drew attention by sharing, "As soon as I wake up, I take olive oil with lemon juice. Then I take probiotics, arginine, beta-alanine, and things that help with fitness. After that, I work out at the gym, use the sauna, and finish the day with a sheet mask." 

Song Kang also said that the army had been a turning point in his life: "Before enlisting, I only worked. I felt anxious about resting. But after taking time to rest in the army, I realized that I really needed time for myself." 



Yoo Jae-suk repeatedly marveled at Song Kang's looks and asked about his popularity during his school days. Song Kang laughed and said, "I was quiet, but I received a lot of attention. I used to get candy and chocolate during every break." 

He continued, "However, none of the people who gave me chocolate and candy actually became connected with me. I'm sorry, but I only accepted them," adding, "I was embarrassed and ashamed of receiving other people's attention, so I deliberately ate lunch in a corner." 

Yoo Jae-suk asked, "With such an introverted personality, how did you decide to become an actor?" Song Kang recalled, "After watching the movie 'Titanic,' I simply thought it would be fun." 

He added, "At the time, my mother said, 'How can you become an actor when you're so introverted? Learn a trade instead.' But my father told me, 'If you like it, give it a try.'" He continued, "The acting career I began that way now makes me feel that I am truly alive," expressing his affection for the profession and drawing attention.
