Kim Mu-jun discusses being compared to BTS's Jin, his role in 'Dynamite Kiss,' and his experiences in the entertainment industry.

Actor Kim Mu-jun conveyed his frank thoughts on the voices saying he resembles Jin from BTS. Recently, Kim Mu-jun met with OSEN at a café in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, for an interview about the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Dynamite Kiss.' 'Dynamite Kiss' depicts the romance between a single woman who has a child and pretends to be employed to make a living, and the team leader who falls in love with her. He plays Kim Sonu, a photographer and the best friend of Dalim (Ahn Eun-jin). Kim Sonu, who runs a baby studio while raising his 6-year-old son alone, is a kind and sensitive character who becomes Dalim's fake husband. As a supporting character, viewers following the main couple's narrative naturally come to support this couple. Perhaps Kim Mu-jun felt lonely about this. Regarding this, Kim Mu-jun said, 'Actually, I felt lonely. I look for all the reactions. I search everything on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), and I also check comments on NAVER and YouTube, as well as comments on SBS's Instagram. I look for all the articles. I think, “They wrote it this way.” However, reactions like “Sonu, close the door,” “Get out,” and “Slip” hurt my heart a little.' He added, 'Sonu is not interfering with Dalim and Ji-hyuk's (Jang Ki-yong) love as a villain. Sonu is also genuinely in love, and the timing coincided dramatically in the drama.' He continued, 'I understand that it means they are immersed in the story, but while it's okay to say “close the door” or “get out,” the “slip” during the rain hurt my heart. I also captured it and sent it to the group chat, laughing and making a fuss.' When asked about memorable compliments, he said, 'I empathized the most with the reactions saying Sonu is pitiful. I felt sorry for him too. He has to let go of the person he loves. You say, “Please take care of her.” It was sad to ask another man to take care of the woman he loves.' When asked if he had heard the comments about resembling BTS's Jin, Kim Mu-jun replied, 'I have certainly seen those comments and reactions. I just appreciate being seen that way. I haven't met him, so I don't know if I actually resemble him, but he is one of the people I would like to meet.' Kim Mu-jun added, 'For me, I think it's just a great compliment. When asked about handsome celebrities I admired, I always mentioned him, so I accept it as a compliment that people say I resemble him.' He shyly mentioned that he had heard about the resemblance before, saying, 'I think I heard it before. But it seems that as I became more loved, interest grew, and it became a topic again.' Born in 1998, Kim Mu-jun will turn 28 this year. While actors of his generation are enlisting, he has already completed his service, which is a significant advantage for him as an actor. Regarding this, Kim Mu-jun said, 'There wasn't a special reason for going to the military; I enlisted as a way to escape after failing all my college entrance exams in my senior year of high school. I graduated high school in February, but I enlisted in May. I really failed everything, so I couldn't go to university, and I went to the military. I took exams during my leave while in the military, and fortunately, I was able to enroll right after being discharged.' He candidly shared, 'I never thought about the advantage of having completed military service. After being discharged, I entered the entertainment industry, thinking that since I had gone to the military, if I just worked hard, I wouldn't have a gap period, so I thought I had to work even harder.' Furthermore, Kim Mu-jun spoke about his future goals, saying, 'In the works I've acted in so far, there are no overlapping characters. They were all slightly different characters. I heard reactions like, “Did this actor play that role?” When I was in 'Even If I Know,' I was told I looked ugly, and from now on, I want to be an actor who can show such different appearances that people say, “Did this actor play that role?”'.
