Actor Kang Yoon Chooses The Best “Simp Comment” He Ever Received Since His Bad Boy Role In A K-Movie
Actor Kang Yoon expressed his gratitude for the love he has been receiving since the release of the Korean movie The Roundup: No Way Out—he also shared the top “simp comment” he has received.
The Roundup: No Way Out, starring top actors Ma Dong Seok and Lee Joon Hyuk, is an action crime film about a detective joining a new squad to investigate a murder case. Along the way, he discovers the case involves drugs and a gang.
In the movie, Kang Yoon plays a minor role but is gaining popularity for his sexy “bad boy” image. He plays a Korean-Japanese character named Hiroshi, a Yazuka member who distributes drugs to Korea.
Since the release of The Roundup: No Way Out on May 31, Kang Yoon’s Instagram has been flooding with comments from simping fans.
- “Oppa, what do you think about marriage with me…??”
- “Oppa, if you’re not going to marry me, stop being so handsome”
- “Stop being handsome, it’s pissing me off”
- “Wow, I f*cking love you”
- “Hiroshi, my handsome man… I’ll be your beautiful woman; will you be my handsome man?”
- “I… I.. I. I think I’m going crazy..”
- “Just letting you know, I’m done preparing for our wedding”
- “You’re so handsome in pictures; I wonder how handsome you’re in real life…”
- “Oppa, I love you…🫶”
- “Why are you seducing me if you’re not even going to marry me…🥹💖”
- “Seriously, the most handsome villain in the world🫶”
- “Oppa, you seduced me first”
In response to his sudden burst of popularity, Kang Yoon shared in an interview with Wikitree that he starts and ends his day reading comments.
I’m so happy that they say such nice things on Instagram or direct messages (DM). I read comments when I wake up, when I’m moving around during the day, and when I fall asleep.

The actor, however, clarified that it may not be him who the fans are in love with—it’s his character, Hiroshi.
Actually, I think it’s Hiroshi who is popular. I can say I’m that I’m only involved in about 20% in the Hiroshi character. It seems that the popularity of Hiroshi has increased due to the combined efforts and actions of many staff members. I’m thinking about how to bring that attention to the actor named Kang Yoon.

Kang Yoon also addressed the simping comments on his Instagram. When asked what the most memorable comment a fan posted was, he shared the number one comment he couldn’t forget.
The comment that stood out the most was, ‘Mom, your daughter loves a Yakuza and druggie.’ It was so funny. Even yesterday, I was reading the unimaginable words and compliments flooding in on Instagram. But undoubtedly, the number one comment is ‘Mom, your daughter loves a Yakuza and druggie.’
