Actor 문가영 revealed the untold story of being born in Germany, and the story of actor 이동하, who was born in Italy and renounced his citizenship to serve in the military, is also being reexamined.
On the 9th, the tvN variety show 유 퀴즈 온 더 블럭 featured actor 문가영, who spoke about her childhood spent in Germany.
That day 문가영 said "I was born in Germany and came to Korea when I was 10. I started acting right then and this year marks my 20th year since debut," she said. 문가영 explained that her parents met while studying in Germany and started a family. Her mother majored in piano and her father majored in physics, she said.
In particular, she revealed a special experience of being scouted on the street even in Germany. 문가영 recalled, "At the time there were not many Asians. I was walking down the street and was scouted for a children's clothing advertisement," adding, "that was my first modeling job." She added with a laugh, "I've liked being noticed since I was young. According to my parents, I really liked the sound of the camera shutter."
If 문가영, who spent her childhood in Germany, nurtured her dream of becoming an actor, actor 이동하 is attracting attention again for his special story of being born in Italy.
이동하 previously appeared on SBS Power FM's 'Escape at Two O'Clock Cultwo Show' and directly explained why he gave up his Italian citizenship.
At the time he said, "I gave up Italian citizenship to complete military service." He went on to explain, "Both my parents are Korean, and there was no reason for me to continue living in Italy." The reason 이동하 was born in Italy was also because his parents were studying abroad. He said, "My parents were studying abroad and I lived in Italy until I was 3."
After returning to Korea, 이동하 debuted in the musical "Grease," became known through dramas such as "Signal" and "Manager Kim," and in 2023 he married actress Sojin, opening a new second chapter in his life.
Born in Europe for different reasons, 문가영 and 이동하 share the similarity that one stood in front of a camera for the first time in Germany while the other gave up Italian citizenship to serve in the military and pursued an acting career in Korea, drawing renewed interest. <
