‘The Thousand Won Lawyer’ Namgoong Min won the Director’s Award at the ‘2022 SBS Drama Awards’.
The '2022 SBS Drama Awards' was held at the SBS Prism Tower in Sangam-dong, Seoul on the 31st. Shin Dong-yeop, Ahn Hyo-seop, and Kim Se-jeong hosted the event.
Namgoong Min showed his nervousness, saying, "I don't tend to get nervous when acting, but strangely, whenever I come up to something like this, my hands and feet start shaking and I get very nervous. I hope people will listen to me even if my speech is not smooth or slurred."
Namgoong Min said, "I know very well that I am a poor person both in terms of acting and personality. I know this means that I should work harder, and I will do it with all my heart." He continued, "'The Thousand-Won Lawyer' is a humorous and fun genre, but we always filmed it intensely. I was worried every time about how to make it more interesting and couldn't sleep. In particular, I said to the director sitting in the middle, 'You will be asleep by this time. 'If I send a message, I get a reply. Whenever I was tired and wanted to give up, there was someone who worked harder than me, so I think we were able to stick together until the end,' he said, expressing his gratitude to his colleagues.
Namgoong Min said, "It was heartbreaking to see the media these days talking about the results rather than the process. You all know how much we put in the same effort. There were many times when I attended and went home without receiving any awards. Thank you to everyone here for their hard work. “I want to tell you that you worked hard. I want to stay up all night with the ‘Thousand Won Lawyer’ team today,” he said. He continued, "Lastly, I am so grateful to my mother and father, and I am grateful to my beloved wife, Areum. I will always be restless and figure out how I can act better here and bring joy to everyone, and create better works. I will never let down my guard and do my best. “I will do my best to move forward,” he promised.
