Boy band U-Kiss member Dongho has said he had his armpit hair removed to act out a scene where he dresses up as a girl in his upcoming sitcom "Real School."
The 16-year-old singer and actor made the remark at a press conference for the show held Tuesday while explaining how he perfected his look as a woman as seen in a still image recently released by the cable broadcaster.
In "Real School," about teenagers attending a legendary school known to improve its students' English skills drastically even though it is in Korea, Dongho plays a conceited and arrogant student raised in a family that is well off.
It will not be his first try at acting -- he has appeared in a movie and couple dramas since making his debut as a member of U-Kiss (Ubiquitous Korean International Super Star) in September 2008.
The sitcom will premiere on January 10 and go on air on weekdays at 4:30 p.m.
