Actor Kim Dong-jun revealed an unexpected episode that occurred immediately after he first met Han Ga-in, who is widely considered his look-alike in the entertainment industry.
On the 31st, the YouTube channel 'Zzanbro Shin Dong-yeob' featured Lee Hyun-gyun, Kim Min-ho, Kim Dong-jun and Nam Tae-woo, who are appearing in New Recruit 4, sharing various stories.
When the conversation turned to Kim Dong-jun's appearance that day, an inevitable name came up. Actress Han Ga-in, who has been said to resemble Kim Dong-jun since his debut. The long 'look-alike' connection has now extended to real on-screen family. Previously, Han Ga-in, who appeared in a photo as the sister of the character played by Kim Dong-jun in New Recruit 3, made a cameo appearance in New Recruit 4.
Kim Dong-jun also revealed how Han Ga-in's special appearance came about. After finishing season 3, he met Han Ga-in during a YouTube shoot, and Han Ga-in first said, "If it helps you, I can appear anytime, so feel free to tell me," lending her support. Kim Dong-jun relayed those words to the production team, and the actual appearance was arranged.
But a coincidental event occurred immediately after the two first met. Kim Dong-jun said he sent a message to Han Ga-in after filming, "Noona, thank you. See you often," but the reply he received was unexpectedly, "I was hospitalized."
Han Ga-in was sick and was hospitalized for about a week starting the day after the two met. Because they were so famous for resembling each other, Kim Dong-jun even recalled an old superstition that "when doppelgängers meet, one of them gets sick." Of course, Kim Dong-jun did not actually link the two incidents. He said, "It was coincidental," and recounted the happenstance as an amusing episode.
Starting as look-alikes, meeting in person and now performing as siblings on screen, Kim Dong-jun and Han Ga-in brought laughter with their long 'doppelgänger connection' and the astonishing first-meeting episode.
