Kim Young-chul-I asked Jin Goo if it was easier to make such a movie now that he had his own children. Jin Goo married his wife in 2014 and now have two children aged five and six. While Jin Goo acknowledged that having children had indeed improved his ability to emphasize with them compared to his bachelor years, he stated that the role of an actor was to transcend such limitations.

Kim Young-chul-I also asked if Jin Goo had given his children presents for Children's Day, which was on May 5th. Jin Goo replied that he gave his children books, as opposed to candy, to try and cultivate them an appreciation for culture and the ability to better self manage their time. Kim Young-chul-I also asked about time Jin Goo had recently spent in Jeju, to which Jin Goo replied that he tried many foods there but like sesame noodles the best.

Elsewhere, Kim Young-chul-I asked if "My Lovely Angel" was an attempt to change his image and Jin Goo replied in the affirmative. Jin Goo noted that he was known for playing rough characters, and that this one allowed him to show a softer side. "My Lovely Angel" will premiere in South Korean theaters on May 12th.
