Most of the time, when actors prepare for a role, most of them have to lose weight or work out - but not Kim Woo Bin.�

He revealed that to physically look like the character for his new movie 'Friend 2', he actually had to gain weight! 'Friend 2' had a press conference on the 11th at the Ulsan Sky Park, and he was asked, "How did you prepare for your character?".

He answered, "When I was preparing for the movie, I made a biography for my character. I thought a lot about what happened around him, and the director also gave me many tips. Physically, I had to get bigger for the character. I gained about 9 kg (19.8 lbs)."

Kim Woo Bin is playing the same role he did in the original 'Friend', the son of Jang Dong Gun's character.
