Kim Min-seok “I felt like I lost my job when I enlisted, my cervical disc ruptured in the military” [DA : Interview②]
Actor Kim Min-seok confessed his changed mindset after being discharged from the military.
In a recent interview for the Tving original series ‘Shark: The Storm’ held at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul, Kim Min-seok said about himself, “I’m not the type of person who has any great strengths, but I think I’m very lucky.” He continued, “I’m not an acting major, and I didn’t start acting when I was young, but I think I’m very lucky in that I can make a living through acting.When I was younger, I thought I got a job because I was good at it, but now that I’m in my 30s, I realize that I’m very lucky.Even when I make mistakes, the people around me understand me, and I’m able to work and make a living.”
Kim Min-seok, who has been working even harder with a changed mindset after his military service, has been busy without resting, appearing in movies such as’ Noise ‘and’ Tropical Nights ‘, dramas’ Lovestruck in the City ‘,’ Engine ON ‘,’ Delivery Man ‘,’ Pitaka Romance ‘,’ Mr Plankton ‘, and’ Shark: The Storm ‘that was released last month.He is currently filming the tvN drama’ Typhoon Boss ‘.
When asked about the works he wants to do, he continued on.He said he wants to do action like the’ Shark ‘series again, and he is also interested in noir, medicine, law, the occult, and romance.He said, “I cried a lot after watching the movie’ When I Was a Boy ‘.My heart ached so much that I thought I would die.I also felt a longing to do a work like that, so much so that I couldn’ t sleep properly that night.I think that kind of opportunity will come someday.I definitely want to do it,” he continued his honest confession.
He strongly appealed that he liked romance in his 30s and that he could wear a school uniform again right now.Kim Min-seok said, “I wore a school uniform until I was 29.When my friends were playing professional roles, I was the only one wearing a school uniform.When I was young, I didn’t like the young image, but now my friends envy me.I think I have to hypnotize myself, but I can still wear a school uniform.I think there must have been a reason I played a character wearing a school uniform.As my seniors said, I think it’s right to do it when I can since I won’t be able to do it when I get older.”
Outside of work, it’s a boring routine of just exercising, to the point where you feel sorry for him.Kim Min-seok said, “If I don’t exercise for a few days, I get sick and gain weight.I hate that, and when I’m working on a project, there may be a shoot where I have to take my clothes off suddenly, so I always prepare.” He also said, “My back isn’t in good shape, and I had a herniated disc in my neck in the military.They said that I have to do a lot of back exercises to keep it from bending.”
When asked about appearing on variety shows, he said, “I did appear as a guest for a short while, but it ended right when we were trying to get close, so I don’t think I showed my relaxed side very well.” He also said, “I would be grateful if you came to see me, but I’m not fun.I like being comfortable with friends, but I can’t do well when I’m asked to do something by myself,” and was embarrassed.
