Morning Routine
Kang Min-hyuk usually cooks his own food when he is at home. He started the day by cooking rice. Meat is the most preferred ingredient in his menus. He said that he ate meat three times a day and meat provided his daily protein supply. As CNBlue’s drummer, he needs energy and protein throughout his daily activity.
