Kim Jin Young’s Transformation: From Shy Teen to Charismatic Star
You won’t believe how much Kim Jin Young, better known as Dex, has changed since his high school days! Halfway through Netflix’s Single’s Inferno 2, fans were buzzing about the handsome soldier who caught everyone’s attention with his athletic physique and charming vibe. But here’s the thing: he wasn’t always the confident heartthrob we see today.
During an interview with his buddy and fellow UDT soldier Agent H, Dex opened up about his past, including some unexpected details about his high school self. Turns out, he was pretty shy and awkward around girls—so much so that he didn’t date at all during those formative years. Can you imagine that this now-so-charismatic guy was once “really thin and scrawny”?
Old photos showed just how far Dex has come. While he’s now ripped and radiates confidence, back in the day, he didn’t quite stand out in the same way. Those images had fans doing double-takes!
When reminiscing, Dex described his past self as the "class clown" but also noted how different he feels now. As a teen, he might’ve been the one making everyone laugh, but he was definitely not the one dating!
Here’s a plot twist: during Single’s Inferno 2, clips of his high school self flashed on screen, further drawing in viewers who couldn’t help but comment on his incredible transformation.
So, if you think his charm is all in the present, think again! It’s clear that Dex’s hard work and self-improvement have shaped him into the star we all admire today.
