Kim Min-seok, special appearance in ‘Potato Research Institute’… crazy presence + comical acting
Actor Kim Min-seok made a special appearance in ‘Potato Research Institute’.
In the final episode of tvN‘s Sat-Sun drama ‘Potato Research Institute’ that aired on the 6th, Kim Min-seok appeared as Chairman Kang Dong-won, who must request an emergency potato purchase from Kim Mi-kyung (Lee Sun-bin) and So Baek-ho (Kang Tae-oh).
Dressed in a silver suit, he caught people’s attention with his eloquence that made Mi-kyung and Baek-ho go crazy. Kang Dong-won embarrassed Mi-kyung with his ‘potato ironclad defense’, refusing to even accept a business card despite her active persuasion. However, when Baek-ho was soon revealed to be his senior in the special forces, he jumped up and sang a military song with her, making everyone laugh.
Kim Min-seok showed off his extraordinary presence even in a short scene. He perfectly embodied comic acting, from the stern face of the ‘young old fart’ chairman to the determined expression when he starts singing a military song as soon as he confirms the order, and gave the drama a pleasant energy.
Kim Min-seok is an actor who has impressed viewers through many works such as ‘Descendants of the Sun’, ‘Because This is My First Life’, and ‘Lovestruck in the City’, and recently proved his solid acting skills with his successful acting transformation in ‘Mr. Plankton’. Also, in the refreshing real action movie ‘Shark: The Beginning’, he garnered attention for his delicate emotional acting as well as action scenes, and thanks to its popularity, he is set to return with the sequel series ‘Shark: The Storm’.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-seok has confirmed his appearances in the tvN drama ‘Typhoon Boss’, the movies ‘Noise’, ‘Tropical Nights’, and ‘Scary Story 4’, and is set to embark on a ‘hard’ year.
