Controversy over acting cute Kang Ji-young reconciled with Kim Gu-ra after 12 years I can show you now (Ras)



Kang Ji-young, a member of the group Kara, confessed her honest feelings about the controversy over aegyo in 'Radio Star' 12 years ago.

On this day, it was a special feature of 「Hung Haeng Lupin」, featuring actors Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Young-seok, and the group Kara Kang Ji-young.

Actors Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Young-seok, and Kang Ji-young of the group Kara were featured on the show.

Earlier, when Kang Ji-young appeared on Radio Star in 2013, when the MCs asked her to act cute, she said, "I don't have aegyo, but I keep..." and wept, and this scene was criticized by the public as it turned into a controversy over attitudes in some quarters.

In response, Kang Ji-young "After that, I studied a little about aegyo." If you ask me to act cute, I can do it," he said with a straight smile.




Seeing this, Kim Gu-ra said, `You scare us to the end. Let's stop now. Promise," he said, relaxing the atmosphere, and the two put their pinkies on the line and created a heartwarming scene.

In particular, Kang Ji-young drew attention by showing a more mature and relaxed appearance by dancing to Kara's hits 'Honey', 'Lupin', and 'Mr'.

Meanwhile, MBC 'Radio Star', starring Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Young-seok, and Kang Ji-young, will air at 10:30 p.m. on the 15th.
