When some fans expressed concern about the news that actor Kim Nam-gil is considering appearing in a drama based on the webtoon "Cham Education", he expressed his position directly in this regard.
Early this morning (8th), Kim Nam-gil said on his SNS, "Today is a welcome day to meet you again as Father Kim Hae-il, the 'Fiery Priest'."
"I heard that many fans are worried about the casting articles of other works," he said. "True education is true that I have received a proposal for a work at the company level, but first of all, I have to review it myself to have time to communicate my intentions with courtesy to those who have offered, whether it's rejection or acceptance, but now I can't afford to think about anything other than the Fiery Priest."
Kim Nam-gil said he is filming the last part of the "Fiery Priest" for viewers and fans, stressing, "I'm always doing my best so that fans who have loved all my works will not be disappointed." He added, "Please trust me, and I hope you will laugh a lot with the 'Fiery Priest' every weekend and be healthy and happy."
The previous day, news broke that Kim Nam-gil was discussing joining the drama "Cham Education", and GilStory ENT, Kim Nam-gil's agency, said it was "considering it." The original webtoon of the
drama, 'True Education', has been embroiled in controversy over racism, sexism, student corporal punishment, and assault on feminist teachers. Naver Webtoon, which serializes 'Cham Education', eventually suspended the 'Cham Education' service on its North American platform in September last year.
For this reason, attention was paid to whether Kim Nam-gil appeared, and some fandom issued a statement opposing the appearance.
