[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actors Oh Ji-ho and Julien Kang shared an anecdote about exercising for a movie shoot.

On the 21st broadcast of SBS PowerFM's 'Choi Hwa-jung's Power Time,' Oh Ji-ho and Julien Kang appeared ahead of the release of the movie 'Prisoner.'

During the broadcast, Choi Hwa-jung said, "When I first saw Oh Ji-ho in the past, I was surprised by his very handsome appearance," adding, "Julien Kang also has a very small face in person."

In response, Julien Kang said, "My shoulders are broad, so my face looks smaller," and added, "My height is 194cm, but for the broadcast, I reduced it to 191cm. Because I'm so tall, sometimes it's hard to find roles," which made everyone laugh.

Oh Ji-ho recalled his connection with Julien Kang, saying, "When Julien Kang first came to Korea, we shared the same office. At that time, Julien Kang only knew one phrase, which was 'Hyung Soju!'"

Then Julien Kang said, "Back then, you only said 'Okay' in English."

Julien Kang spoke about this movie, saying, "My family is actually a martial arts family. I grew up doing one-on-one fights since I was young. So I performed the fight scenes myself without a stunt double in this movie."

He continued, "They say my body is natural, but I am working out hard."

Oh Ji-ho added, "When he takes off his clothes, his muscles are definitely big. I was surprised even during filming."

He also explained, "To build my body for this movie shoot, I initially ate only chicken breast for several months, but these days, products are very well made. I changed the type every three days and found products that suit my taste."

Then Julien Kang added, "During lunchtime, we eat lunch boxes, but he only ate chicken breast."

When asked about his favorite Korean dishes, he said, "Galbijjim, naengmyeon, meat, kimchi, mandu, jajangmyeon?there are so many. I also like cheonggukjang. But I can't eat hongeo."

Finally, when asked about Julien Kang's personality, Oh Ji-ho said, "Surprisingly, I think he is better now than when I first met him," adding, "He has come to understand Korean culture, and habits that you can't fix when you don't know the culture, he seems to have fixed on his own."
