Kim Nam-gil “It seems like I received the grand prize for ‘Heart of Evil’”

Actor Kim Nam-gil received the grand prize for the drama 'Readers of the Heart of Evil' and said he was happy to be recognized.

On the 17th, Elle magazine released Kim Nam-gil's pictorial. We captured the soft but strong faces of Kim Nam-gil, a versatile actor who crosses the border between light and darkness, from friendly faces. While Kim Nam-gil chatted affectionately with the staff, he increased his concentration in front of the camera and completed a great pictorial cut.

Kim Nam-gil once again expressed his feelings about receiving the grand prize at the 'SBS Drama Awards' for last year's drama 'Those Who Read the Heart of Evil'. He said, "It was a drama that I worked on carefully because it was not an easy-to-access subject matter. I wanted to focus on telling the story even if I had to give up a little on popularity, and I wanted to “Make it with a sense of mission and responsibility, and I was happy that that choice seemed to be recognized. “With the power of the work, I decided to make it with a sense of responsibility.” “It was more meaningful because I received it,” he said.

He, who played a half-human, half-man character in the drama 'Island', was a fan of the original cartoon of the same name from the beginning. When asked what he must have worried about when he received an offer to appear as a comic book fan, he said, "I refused because I didn't want to ruin the work I love so much with my own hands. But the question was , 'Why do you think it will be ruined without even trying? Can't you just make it well with that mindset?' “My heart was moved,” he said.

Kim Nam-gil expressed his personal wish, “I hope there will be more works that understand and understand humans rather than just spicy, salty, and red content.” He expressed his belief, "As an actor, I do not want to embarrass the people who have formed a relationship with me and worked with me. I hope that the work can serve as a driving force for each person to pursue their dreams."
