At a recent interview with Grazia, Kim Min Kyu, a former contestant of “Produce X 101” opens up about his experience of being in the survival show as a contestant from Jellyfish Entertainment.
“As a new trainee, I was just happy to be on stage. I thought that if I appeared on the show, I could stand on stage and experience new things that I wouldn’t have been able to otherwise, so I was excited.”
he achieved 1st place during the first ranking. By then he continued to rank in the top 10 throughout his time as a contestant on the show, attributing his success to his competitive hard work.
“I think people looked on me kindly when I worked hard and stayed true to myself. I don’t think I received love because I was better than others or good at something that made me stand out. I just had the mindset that I would work two or three times harder whenever I fell behind. If someone beside me began to dance, I would dance even longer. Because of my competitiveness, I gave it my all.”
He revealed that his recent hobby is now currently writing reviews of the movies that he has watched. “These days, I’ve gotten into writing movie reviews. I study films by noting down my thoughts and including factors like the actors and director, ratings, and audience numbers in review format. There are a lot of roles in dramas and movies that let me experience things I never have before.”
Wish him the best for his future and current activities!
