In Missing Crown Prince, Kim Min-Kyu plays Grand Prince Do Sung, who is placed in a tough spot after Suho’s (EXO member) character, Crown Prince Lee Gon, is kidnapped. Love Song for Illusion actress Hong Ye-Ji’s character, Choi Myung-Yoon, kidnaps him.
Speaking about his grand prince role, Min-Kyu pointed out that this is the first historical project of his career. He told Star News Korea (originally in Korean), “Actually, I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel pressured because it was my first historical drama, but I was very greedy because it was a character I had never shown before.”
He further added, “If I were to dare say it, out of all the characters I’ve played, it became the one I was most attached to, and even though it hurt my heart a lot, it also became the character I cared about. As the director and writers trusted me and gave me the opportunity, I’m doing my best to make sure I don’t ruin the work, so please keep an eye on me.”
Furthermore, the production company, Studio Jidam, praised Min-Kyu for his acting skills. The production team said, “I am confident that Kim Min-Kyu’s acting, which goes back and forth between various emotions as well as his heart-warming visuals, will make the play more solid.”
Missing Crown Prince will premiere on April 13, 2024, on MBN.
