Jin Young at Korea Expo: A Warm, Candid Moment with Fans in Paris

Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles had a special guest on June 18, 2026: actor Jin Young, who landed in Paris the night before just to attend the Korea Expo. When he walked on stage, the whole atmosphere changed. People straightened up, phones came out, and you could feel the excitement rise immediately.

What was striking was how relaxed he was. No big entrance, no distance. He answered questions calmly, almost casually, as if he were talking to people he already knew. The room felt smaller, more intimate, even though it was full.

He mentioned a new drama he recently filmed, already airing in Korea. He didn’t go into details, but said the first reactions back home were good. Several fans in the audience reacted right away — clearly they were already following the news and waiting for the European release.

At one point, he talked about how early his interest in acting started. Not during his music career, not later — but in elementary school, around second or third grade. He also spoke about a role that felt very natural to him, a character close to his own personality. He said it was one of the easiest roles he ever played because he didn’t have to force anything. It gave a small glimpse into how he approaches his work: quietly, honestly, without overthinking.

When someone asked what kind of role he wants next, he smiled and said he’d like to play a villain. The audience laughed — it’s hard to imagine him as anything other than the gentle characters he usually plays. Even he seemed amused by the idea.

The host added a funny detail: her husband, also an actor, always plays villains and dreams of playing a nice character for once. It made the moment lighter and showed how actors often get stuck in roles that don’t match their real wishes. Before leaving, Jin Young said he was already working on a new project. He couldn’t say more, but hinted that an announcement was coming soon.
