Actor Gong Yoo will appear on the CNN talk show “Talk Asia,” according to the actor’s agency, Management Soop.

“Gong Yoo had an interview with ‘Talk Asia’ on April 3. The talk show wanted to feature the actor on the program since his popularity is soaring after starring in tvN’s drama ‘Guardian: The Lonely and Great God,’” the agency said.

“Talk Asia” is a weekly half-hour interview show on CNN International. It is produced at CNN’s Asia-Pacific region headquarters in Hong Kong. The talk show focuses on prominent figures in the arts, politics, sports and business. Each week, a newsmaker and the show’s host have an in-depth conversation.
