In a exclusive interview with Kim Myung Min International, the 40-year-old actor revealed, "When I stepped on the scale a few days before Christmas Day, I found out that I was only 63 kilos". The actor said, he was 67 kilos when the cameras started rolling in mid-September last year.

"Weight loss was not intentional. It just happened. Filming for the drama was so intense that I eventually shed 4 kilos since I started this project", he said.

Kim Myung-min also disclosed that he gets very little sleep at night, usually about 3 hours. Therefore, weight loss was inevitable.

"King of the Drama" is Kim Myung-min's comeback project on television since "Beethoven Virus" (2008). The TV series revolves around the life and career of Anthony Kim (Kim Myung-min), a drama production CEO known to produce blockbuster dramas and hallyu stars. It also tells about the harsh realities and conditions behind Korean drama production. Also in the cast are Jung Ryeo-won and Super Junior's Choi Si-won.

Filming will wrap up on 4 January in Mokdong, Seoul. The final episode and a special will air on 7 and 8 January, respectively.
