Kim Nam-Gil Challenge Month – Day 14

by Fiona

Day 14: Post a link to or embed your favorite interview.

與佶一起 김남길金南佶台灣飯團

I adored his recent KBS Entertainment Weekly interview, which you can find the full subbed episode on Viki. He is always so frank and humble about everything. His friendship with his co-stars are amazing, especially the bromance between him and Koo Dae-Young.  He even sang on spot, a few versus from Can’t I Love You (QSD OST). Embarrassed him was afterwards, Nam-Gil oppa always so nice when it comes to requests and fan service. 

I was also overjoyed to learn of oppa’s admiration for Stephen Chow (周星馳), and understood why his comedy portrayals were so top-notched. He observed and learned from Asian’s best!  Chow is a truly gem when it comes to comedy who dominated the box office in the 1990s and still does whenever he has a new film. Hopefully, he hears about Nam-Gil oppa and work with him one day. Wouldn’t that be amazing?! Chow was my first obsession too, I find it fascinating that Nam-Gil and I have something in common. 

I laughed and grinned like crazy throughout the interview, entertaining and charming it was. Oppa’s cheerful chatterbox-self is a delight to watch.  He seems a bit more relaxed after his vacation, hopefully he gets additional rest before his work picks up again.

PD Na Young-seok wants to invite Kim Nam-Gil to Three Meals a Day

by Fiona

Oh wow!! 

Praying that this comes true, Nam-Gil oppa is really gain popularity especially if PD Na Young-seok is interested.  The article is in Chinese, but you can find the Google translation here.

PD Na is infamous for being the director of several highly entertaining and unique variety-reality shows. He normally casts well-known stars like 
Lee Seo-jin, Cha Seung-won, and Yoo Hae-jin. I am glad that Nam-Gil oppa has been on his radar for some time, he would make fabulous additional to Three Meals a Day. Since minimal editing occurs on reality shows, it would not limit oppa’s high-spirited, enthusiastic and cute personality.  I came to adore Lee Seo-jin due Three Meals and Grandpas Over Flowers.

I can see why oppa refused this type of project before as he needed to concentrate on a single role, but he should be free now. Keep on fighting PD Na and continue to nag so oppa and his agency cannot refuse your offer! hehehe

Sister’s Slam Dunk S2 (K-Variety)

by Fiona

Wow, 2019 has been flying by so quickly! It’s already April and summer will be around the corner soon. 

Anyone into Korean variety shows? I have grown fond of Sister’s Slam Dunk Season II, especially its cast members and how much effort they used to transform themselves into a girls group/band. The show focused on producing a group of diverse celebrities into one-time ensemble.

I adored Hong Jin-Young, Kim Sook and Kang Ye-won, as well as, the other members, Hong Jin-kyung, Han Chae-young, Minzy and Jeon So-mi. I love their chemistry, how they bonded and cherished each other even though they were so different from one another, personality and experience-wise.

Minzy and So-mi are quite well-known in K-Pop along Hong Jin-Young (professional singers), but they were so understanding and patient toward their Unnies. Keeping everything real was another aspect that made the show wonderful, especially when they shared stories of their struggles and dreams. Though, the show has ended, I am sure they will remain friends for a long time.

I was truly proud and happy for the Unnies when their Music Bank performance was a success and their song dominated the music charts on the first day of release. I emphasize again that not all of them are professional musicians and they did their very best to achieve the project’s goal.

Hopefully, they will have a third season one day with a few of the same members. In the meantime, please enjoy their music and performance below, as well as, the full season of the show on Viki and Youtube.
