Actress Kim Min Ha surprised viewers by revealing that she once seriously prepared to become a singer before pursuing acting.

On the August 7 episode of MBN and Channel S’s Jun Hyun Moo’s Plan 4, Kim Min Ha appeared as a guest and talked about her unexpected past in music.

After hearing her sing, Jun Hyun Moo asked whether she had received professional training. Kim Min Ha replied, “I used to prepare to become a singer.”

She explained that she attended a practical music academy during high school and participated in an audition. Kim Min Ha said, “An agency recruited me and wanted me to become an idol. But it did not match the direction I wanted, so the debut did not happen.”

Instead of becoming a girl group member, Kim Min Ha said she had a different goal at the time.

She shared, “I really wanted to become a jazz singer.”

Jun Hyun Moo praised her distinctive voice and responded, “It has a feeling that is hard to find in Korea.”

The revelation caught attention as Kim Min Ha, who has also recently drawn interest for her changed appearance after reportedly losing 17 kilograms, showed another unexpected side of her past.

Jun Hyun Moo’s Plan 4 airs every Friday at 9:10 PM KST.
