[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Kim Myungsoo of 'Welcome' shared his thoughts on playing a cat.

On the afternoon of the 25th, the production presentation for KBS 2TV's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Welcome' was held online to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Kim Myungsoo, who played an angel in his previous work, said about playing a cat, "Somehow, the projects I end up doing are fantasy. In my previous work, I played an angel, and in this one, I play a cat. Both are fantasy, so they might feel similar, but they are completely different works. I heard it was my first time playing a cat, and I thought I could handle this role well, so I accepted it."

He added, "It was also the most eye-catching role, and the drama 'The One and Only Love' was like that too. Although I was open to other projects, I ended up choosing what I do best, so it turned out this way."

Kim Myungsoo plays Hongjo, a pure white cat who occasionally transforms into a human man. After being abandoned by his owner and facing a crisis, he is entrusted to Kim Solah (played by Shin Ye-eun), who has a bright energy like a puppy, and they end up living together. 'Welcome' premieres at 10 PM on the 25th.
