When he appeared in MBC's entertainment program, 'Golden Fishery - Radio Star' in last February this year, Kang Kyun-sung said, "It was my idea I would grow my hair long once before I die", while he was explaining the reason for his bob hairstyle.

The show host Kim Gu-ra said, "Will your album this time be a posthumous work", which evoked laughter at the time. Kang Kyun-sung laughed hard first and then he said, "I actually have another hairstyle on my list. I'd like to grow my hair down to shoulders and have a pony tail. I want to let it grow longer to look like an argentine".

One of the show hosts, Cho Kyuhyun said "You look like the webtoon character, Ae-bong-yi". And Kim Gu-ra told Kang Kyun-sung, "Ae-bong-yi, affirmed".

Meanwhile, the production team said on June 29th, "As 'The Sound of the Heart' has concluded on some cast and directing staffs, the main filming sessions have begun".

Producer Kim Yeong-gi, who previously directed MBC's 'High Kick' sitcom series and 'The Secret of Keu Keu Island', and tvN sitcom 'Once Upon a Time in Saeng Cho-ri' will be in charge of directing this new sitcom drama.
