The start of the ‘Ame-talk Show!’ featuring Kang Woojin was similar to other episodes. The set was familiar, and the MC, Karamatsu Soyo, who resembled a beaver, opened the show with a simple opening remark.
[“It’s mid-September and still hot, but our guest today is so exceptional that you’ll forget the heat for a while!”]
Then, MC Soyo introduced the guest.
[“The hottest man in Japan right now! Korea’s monstrous rookie actor, Kang Woojin!”]
The long-standing entrance music of ‘Ame-talk Show!’ started to play.

Kang Woojin made his entrance through the guest door set up on the stage. Woojin and MC Soyo exchanged simple handshakes and then sat down on their respective sofas.
[“Welcome, Kang Woojin-ssi. Please say a brief hello to the viewers.”]
[“Hello, viewers of the ‘Ame-talk Show!’. I’m actor Kang Woojin. It’s an honor to be on this traditional Japanese talk show. I’ll try my best to be lively.”]
[“Wow- But you’re really good at Japanese, aren’t you? If I close my eyes, I’d be confused.”]
[“I get that a lot, but I’m still better at Korean.”]
Kang Woojin on the ‘Ame-talk Show!’ was calm yet gentle. There was no hint of awkwardness.
[“Ah! Is this your first talk show appearance since your debut, Woojin-ssi?”]
[“Yes, it’s my first time on ‘Ame-talk Show!’. So, I’m quite nervous.”]
[“Ah? You don’t look nervous at all! Haha, but it’s your first talk show, so it must be overwhelming.”]
[“I don’t look nervous at all?”]
[“Eh? You’re joking, right?”]
[“It’s a joke.”]
After the greetings, they talked about various topics – his schedule in Korea, how busy his current schedule was, and his feelings when he first joined ‘Profiler Hanryang’.
[“How did you feel when you were first cast in ‘Profiler Hanryang’?”]
[“I wondered if it was the right choice.”]
His thoughts when ‘Hanryang’ became a hit in Japan, the upcoming ‘Male Friend’, the explosive increase in followers on Kang Woojin’s SNS, and even his ‘Kang Woojin’s Alter Ego’ channel that surpassed a million subscribers in just a few weeks.
Then, MC Soyo made a request to Kang Woojin.
[“I took a peek at your youtube channel, Woojin-ssi. You don’t have many videos, but you’ve already crossed a million subscribers. Your skills are more than just a hobby. Plus, your content is unique, covering KPOP in Japanese or English.”]
[“Soon, I plan to cover JPOP and pop songs in Korean too.”]
[“Even a casual listen would blow up the view count. Are you planning any other content?”]
[“I’m considering it.”]
[“Hmm! Could you give us a short, very brief sample of a song? The viewers would love it.”]
[“Of course.”]

The request was for a single verse, but Kang Woojin sang almost the entire first verse. Interestingly.
