Kang Ha Neul Addresses Memorable Moment with IU on MBC’s Radio Star
In a recent appearance on MBC’s Radio Star, actor Kang Ha Neul shared insights about a now-famous moment involving his co-star, IU. The context arose during the press conference for their K-Drama Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, where a lighthearted photo session quickly became a point of interest for fans and viewers alike.
As the two actors posed for pictures, a reporter suggested they link arms for a better visual. However, Kang Ha Neul humorously crossed his own arms instead, leading to laughter from the other guests on the show. In another instance, when asked to pose with their shoulders touching, he playfully scrunched his shoulders to avoid contact, further amusing those present.
Kang Ha Neul later explained his unconventional posing style, stating, "I don’t like serious settings. In settings like this, the reporters don’t seem to budge even when I say something funny. Since I don’t like settings like this, I tend to do things like that." He emphasized that the playful antics were intended to lighten the atmosphere.
After the playful exchanges, the actor confirmed he did eventually link arms with IU for the official photos, concluding the session with a smile. "Of course after I posed like that, I did link arms with IU and take pictures," he remarked, reinforcing that his previous gestures were merely a joke.
This light-hearted take on an awkward moment during a press conference has resonated with fans, showcasing Kang Ha Neul’s personality beyond his on-screen roles.
