Kim Min-kyu thought it was important in his interview to emphasize to all the people who had interest and love for the show. Kim Min-kyu also claimed that this gratitude was shared not just by himself, but also the entire cast and crew. Kim Min-kyu also asked for more interest and love in the future as he expects to take on more challenging roles, as Kim Min-kyu would like to appear in a wide variety of new genres going forward.

Regarding "Business Proposal" itself, Kim Min-kyu claimed that he understood what fans were expecting from his character, who was notorious for being the perfect man. Consequently, Kim Min-kyu did aggressive exercises, worked hard on his masculine charm, and also did everything he could to maximize his sex appeal. Bulking up like this caused him to gain fifteen kilograms, and this was on top of five kilograms he had already gained for filming "Snowdrop" last year.

As he enters his thirties, Kim Min-kyu now has about 7-8% of his body mass as being made up of fat. Kim Min-kyu claimed that the process was difficult, requiring that he eat a lot of chicken breast meat, and that he wanted to get it done with soon, but that he felt it was important to show himself in peak physical condition. Kim Min-kyu feels that he was successful in this effort owing to fan reaction, and again expressed gratitude that he was able to meet the exacting standards of fans.

Kim Min-kyu also noted with some humor that many commenters expressed doubt that he was even the same actor that recently appeared on "Snowdrop" due to this physique changed. Many thought that Kim Min-kyu had done a great job transforming his image. Kim Min-kyu hoped that the hard work would expand the spectrum of convincing work he could do as an actor. "Business Proposal" ended on April 5th with ratings of 11.4%.
