Kang Ji-young, a member of the group Kara and an actor, directly mentioned the controversy over acting cute 12 years ago 'Radio Star'.

MBC entertainment program 『Radio Star』, which aired on the 15th, featured actors Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Young-seok, and Kang Ji-young as a special feature of 『Hung-haeng Lupin』.

On this day, it was the first time in 12 years that Kang Ji-young appeared on "Radio Star". "My last appearance was when I was 19 years old. It's been so long, so as soon as I came in, I was very nervous because my thoughts overlapped."




Then "I can't help but talk about it then."He directly mentioned the past "Cute Tears" incident. At that time, Kang Ji-young cried at the MCs' request for aegyo, saying "I can't do that."

Kang Ji-young said "At that time 'Radio Star' was the most feared entertainment show by idols. I was nervous, but he asked me to act cute, so I ended up crying. That became an issue."

Also "At that time, it was a transitional period when Kara renewed her contract, and the team atmosphere was sensitive."To be honest, I think I was a little bit heady at the time."




In response, Kim Gu-ra said "The atmosphere was not so bad at the time. If it wasn't good, it would have been edited in full."

Then Kang Ji-young said, "I studied because I was frustrated with my cuteness."Cute action is a technique that prettyly breaks the rhythm of emotions. I found out that it's not just cute, but an expression that makes the other person feel good. I can do it now even if you ask me to do it"I laughed.
