I've never seen Song Kang-Ho being interviewed like this; I've only seen him in movies, and he's such an amazing character actor that I've never known what he was like in real life. It's a treat to see him just laughing and chatting like this, after I've watched him play so many tortured characters.

Song Kang-Ho embodies the humble, quirky and rustic identity of the Korean culture. This is why he appears in so many Korean classics playing the most average Korean man who constantly gets himself in extraordinary situations.

If Hollywood has Tom Hanks, then korea has Song Kang Ho. Not comparing or anything, but they both have this quality to single-handedly hold the story on their own, can capture your attention with their portrayal of characters, such is their charisma on screen. They have this grandness about them but at the same time are able to feel relatable to us. I wanna see both of these actors together in a single frame once in my life 🙏
