Son Seok-gu is arrogant? Nam Myung-ryeol's writing is more arrogant
On the 14th, Son Seok-gu was publicly criticized by senior actor Nam Myung-ryeol for being "arrogant." This is because of what he said at the press conference for the play 'Army on the Tree' held on June 27. At the time, Seok-gu Son, who returned to the theater stage after 9 years, answered the question of comparison between theater and media acting, "Acting is the same. Film and theater are the same. It's not different," but said, "There was something like that when I was playing."
He said, “I originally intended to only do plays and had no intention of starting the media, but I moved to movies or dramas in my early 30s.” ) I didn't understand why they made me do fake acting. So I quit and went to the movies. I wanted to see if my acting style would work in the theater again while doing theater again."
Son Seok-gu had his own interpretation of the phrase 'whisper love' in the script, and it seems that he decided that a microphone was necessary if he acted according to that interpretation. This is just a difference in opinion about the acting between the director and the actor, and it is difficult to dismiss it as 'arrogance'.
However, Nam Myeong-ryeol publicly criticized Son Seok-gu's remarks in the article. Nam Myeong-ryeol posted an article containing Son Seok-gu's remarks on his SNS that day and wrote, "Hahaha, I just laugh. What is that arrogance?"
Then, through the comments on the post, "Seriously, even though I whispered real acting, I will have to think about acting that can be heard by the 350-seat audience. Say, “The media acting was good.” “Even if you whisper, there are several actors who fill up about 350 seats with their voices. If all acting is to play a fictional character, it is absurd to define what real acting is.” did.
Nam Myung-ryeol made a point, saying, 'Think about acting that can be heard by the 350-seat audience even though you whispered real acting', but acting is not like math or science, so his criticism does not gain sympathy from many people. there is. Even the meaning of 'fake acting' that Son Seok-gu said does not mean that there is 'real and fake' if you look at the context. It was not an appropriate comment as a senior actor to criticize only part of it so that it could be read as a nuance that Son Seok-gu is ignoring the theater version.
Rather, it is evaluated in the entertainment industry that Nam Myung-ryeol's SNS post was an uncomfortable and arrogant post that 'sniped' a certain junior against an unspecified number of people. The point of view is that if there is a problem, it is okay to call the junior and talk to him, and whether it is the right way for a senior to openly shoot on social media. Nam Myung-ryeol belatedly deleted his SNS post when his public criticism became a hot topic.
