Actor Son Seok-gu. Actor Nam Myung-ryeol (64), who criticized actor Son Seok-gu (40) for his so-called “fake acting” comments, eventually closed the SNS comment window. It seems that it is because of the controversy with netizens following the criticism.
On the 15th, Nam Myung-ryeol closed the comment window on social media, saying, “Everyone has expressed their opinions, whether they like it or not, and there are only debates without a conclusion.
Previously, Nam Myung-ryeol posted on social media on the 14th, “Hahaha, I just laugh. What that arrogance is. I only add that I am not a rich person or a rich person.”
At the press conference for the play ‘Army on the Tree’ held on the 27th of last month, this was aimed at actor Son Seok-gu, who returned to the theater stage after 9 years.
At the time, Son Seok-gu said, “I didn’t like fake acting, so I quit theater and moved to movies and dramas. I wanted to see if my acting style would work in theater. If I changed my acting style for theater, it would betray one of the purposes of theater, so I did the same.”
In response, Nam Myeong-ryeol said, “I will have to think about acting that can be heard by the 350-seat audience even though I sincerely whispered with real acting.
He continued, “Say, ‘I did a good job with media acting.’ Even if you whisper, there are many actors who fill up 350 seats with their voices.” It is nonsensical,” he criticized.
Afterwards, when the remarks became widely known through media reports, a controversy erupted, with some netizens expressing opposition to Nam Myung-ryeol online.
For example, on the 15th, a netizen commented on Nam Myung-ryeol, saying, “Honestly, I think that Nam Myung-ryeol made a comment like this because he felt bad for Son Seok-gu. It just didn’t matter much, or I wouldn’t have even paid attention to it.”
In response, Nam Myeong-ryeol said, “I only knew actor Son (Seok-gu) as a celebrity, but I don’t remember seeing his acting. I saw him appearing in various advertisements and thought, ‘Oh, he must be a popular young actor these days’ is my image of actor Son. “I didn’t say it because the actor was famous or unknown, so please don’t misunderstand. It’s just a story about ‘what is the essence of acting and what kind of attitude an actor should have to approach that essence'” he explained. .
This controversial statement by SsG by Madam Nam made us chuckle. It was just an incident in the past that made him switch from Theatre towards film medium.
I think Madam Nam took it personally because he’s equating his style of theatrical performance with that of a Shakespeare actor, which unfortunately we here in England haven’t had the pleasure witnessing from Madam Nam.
