Lee Jong-hyun of CNBLUE expressed his thoughts on being able to use dialect while acting in the KBS drama “Girls’ Generation 1979” in a recent interview for the Korean edition of fashion magazine Grazia.

The drama tells the story of love and friendship of high school girls in Daegu in the late 1970s. Lee plays Joo Young-choon, who works in a pharmacy.

“I am from Busan so I hoped to play a character who uses dialect someday. I’m glad I am free to speak in dialect,” he said. The Daegu and Busan dialects are of the Gyeongsang provinces.

A fashion spread and interview featuring Lee will be available in the magazine’s October issue. The drama airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 10 p.m.
