Kang Ki-young had a photo shoot with fashion magazine ELLE. This photoshoot captures Kang Ki-young's witty and cheerful charm as he freely walks around the office space as if he is at home.

Kang Ki-young, who will play the role of a lawyer in the drama series "Queen of Divorce", which will air for the first time on Saturday, said, "Coincidentally, I often played roles wearing suits. Sometimes people ask me, 'Are you not a lawyer?'"

"If Jeong Myeong-seok from "Extraordinary Attorney Woo", is faithful to the law and willing to follow the role of a mercenary for his client, Dong-joon is more like a solver". He explained that he is a person who seeks justice for them as many people fall into traps during the divorce process.

About being the male lead for a genre that combines romance, he said, "I felt unfamiliar of myself because I hadn't tried acting, but it was interesting because I could feel and express new emotions", he said. "I felt a lot of responsibility for the existence of a 'male protagonist'".

He, who has proved himself as an actor who can exist anywhere in the world for the past 15 years, said, "I wanted to be a friendly actor. The most grateful thing I heard as an actor was the compliment, 'There are people who don't know you, but I haven't seen anyone who hates you'. I am trying to broaden the spectrum of comfort for those who like me comfortably. I want to be an actor who can entertain the eyes of the viewer through any character that I play".

Kang Ki-young's photo shoot and interview will be available through the February issue of ELLE and the website. YouTube content will also be released on ELLE's YouTube channel soon.
