"The Secret Life of My Secretary" actress confessed that she is a fan of "Harry Potter." "I actually have a cloak at home since I really like 'Harry Potter.' I wanted to attend my audition wearing something similar to judge's robes, so during my audition, I brought my 'Harry Potter' cloak with me and wore it."
Kim Jae Kyung wanted to fully immerse in the character of a judge, and so before going to her audition, she watched various interviews of judges and studied their work environment.
She continued, "I delivered all my lines while wearing my 'Harry Potter' cloak. Later, the director and writer were talking and asked me if I could take the cloak off, because they couldn't focus as it was making them laugh."
