There are many restrictions like that when it comes to casting. I even asked them to delete my age from my public profile," explained Kwak Dong Yeon.

"I started training at an early age, and when I saw adults working in the entertainment industry, I had one wish. On TV, celebrities are portrayed as sensitive and temperamental and think only of themselves. I don't know what those people are. exists in real life, but I've been absorbing media like that since I was young, and I don't like it," said Kwak Dong Yeon.
"I think when I become a celebrity later, I shouldn't act like that. All projects, even this image, are jobs for celebrities, but also for staff. I always thought it would be better if the people working together could do it while having fun. "have fun and laugh. As I get older, I want to make people laugh, not only at work, but with my fans and with the people I love too," he added. (wk/alpha)
