Nam Myeong-ryeol, Son Seok-gu's "fake acting" remarks, "I just laugh, that arrogance"
On the 14th, Nam Myeong-ryeol shared a link to an article along with the article, "[Hahaha] I just laugh. What is that arrogance?
The link shared by Nam Myung-ryeol contains what Son Seok-gu said at a press conference for the play 'Army on the Tree' last month. Son Seok-gu said, "I originally intended to do only plays in my early 30s. The media had no idea, but there is a reason I moved it." Do you want me to?'" he said.
Nam Myung-ryeol pointed out, "I will have to think about acting that can be heard by the 350-seat audience even though I sincerely whispered real acting.
Also, "Say, 'I did a good job with media acting'. There are many actors who fill up about 350 seats with voice even if they whisper. If all acting is to play a fictional character, it is absurd to define what real acting is. "he said.
Nam Myeong-ryeol, who debuted in the play 'Water Bird, Water Bird' in 1985, appeared in various works. He plays the role of Dr. Freud in the play 'Last Session', which is currently being performed, and is meeting with the audience. Son Seok-gu debuted on the theater stage through 'Army on Tree', which opened on the 20th of last month.
On the other hand, Son Seok-gu was involved in a controversy while watching the play 'Pride' with Kang Han-na and Oh Hye-won, who appeared together in the 2019 drama 'Designated Survivor' ('60 Days, Designated Survivor'). Spectators who watched the performance on the same day as Son Seok-gu claimed that they had poor viewing attitudes, such as interfering with their immersion during the play. Even though it wasn't a fun scene, they laughed out loud and showed attitudes such as posing and stretching when the scene of passing the camera to the audience appeared.
Son Seok-gu, who had been silent, revealed his position through a statement. He said, "Me and my friends ruined the performance with an ignorant attitude toward the performance, so there was a demand for an apology and even an article about it, but as a person who enjoys and cherishes the play, I did not shamefully watch it. I laughed quietly and cried quietly as much as I could.”
Son Seok-gu said, "I am embarrassed that some of the audience's misguided sense of ownership and the narrow-minded, coercive, and even violent degenerated culture of viewing performances go beyond misunderstanding and even produce lies, but I will not refute or apologize any further." He continued, "I am very sorry to the fans who will be disappointed and sad because it is not what I want to hear, regardless of whether it is right or wrong." I hope that after more time has passed and the anger has subsided, we will have time to laugh together and look back."
