Kim Young-kwang braves grueling 13-hour Busan schedule on just 2 hours of sleep

Actor Kim Young-kwang reminisced about the past while navigating an intense schedule in Busan. A newly released video captures Kim's day, from a dawn filming session to a visit to Haeundae Market.

2 hours of sleep and a 5 AM start: A 13-hour Busan schedule

In the video, Kim appeared fatigued due to a filming schedule that began around 5:00 AM. Early in the footage, he noted his lack of rest, saying, "I haven't even slept for three hours yet," before correcting himself to "two hours." The grueling itinerary, which included travel to Busan, lasted approximately 13 hours.

Kim had a busy morning, waking up at 6:00 AM to prepare for filming and departing at 7:20 AM. He shared his morning routine of waking up to care for his daughters before finishing preparations around 7:05 AM. Throughout the video, Kim repeatedly muttered, "I have to overcome this," demonstrating his determination to push through the demanding schedule.

Finding a 'favorite restaurant' and old connections at Haeundae Market

During the Busan shoot, Kim visited a restaurant in Haeundae Market that he frequented when he previously lived in the city. Introducing the spot as his "favorite restaurant from when I lived in Busan," he expressed his joy, noting that even the best food in Seoul cannot replicate this specific taste. The restaurant staff welcomed him warmly, noting he looks exactly the same as he did during his past visits.

During the meal, Kim also recalled old connections. Reminiscing about living with Kihyun, he jokingly remarked that since Kihyun is selling skewers in Brave New World, it is bound to be a massive hit. He also maintained a lively atmosphere by interacting with fans at the market, expressing gratitude when a fan mentioned, "I was rooting for you when you were eating spicy food." When a fan complimented his looks, Kim showed his playful side, responding, "I look much better in person, right?"

"I live because of you all": A message of gratitude to fans

After completing the 13-hour Busan itinerary, Kim concluded his day by returning to Seoul. At the end of the video, he expressed deep appreciation for the support from fans, including those in Busan who recognized him, stating, "I live because of you all... It is all thanks to you."
