Actor Kang Ki-young, 35, made sure to announce his face through TVN Why Secretary Kim Will Do It, which last month ended. Kang Ki-young, who played Park Seo-joon (played by Lee Young-joon), a close friend of Park Yoo-sik, claimed to be a cupid that connects Young-joon and Smile (played by Park Min-young), and was loved by viewers with Park Seo-joon and extraordinary chemistry.
Kang Ki-young, who constantly plays his role in his works such as 'Oh My Ghost', 'National Federation of State High School Asso King', 'Not a Robot', 'Seven Days Queen'. Kang Ki-young is an expectation of the anbang theater that is growing up showing a pleasant acting grammar that gives excitement to viewers, so it is regrettable that the modifier to express him is 'luxury supporting'.
Of course, his pleasant, fluttering performance was not a big deal. Kang Ki-young went out of the university door and grew up as an actor himself. It was a drug for him to go through a terrible obscure life while appearing in theater activities and 30 CFs. At that time, Records of the Grand Historian was also hit and there was a difficult time, so there is a picture of Kang Ki-young now.
“It was so hard to know how to become an actor after taking the first step into society. I was taking a lot of commercials as a public model, but the entertainment department first called and went into the company. After (laughing), the company came out, and there were trial and error, and there were managers who recommended plastic surgery, and they experienced places like Records of the Grand Historian. I was hurt so much that I felt the strong feeling of 'Let me deceive you in the bar.' "
The turning point for him was the National Federation of State High School Asso King. Unexpected coincidences gave him a chance. Kang Ki-young said, "I was working part-time at the cafe and there were people who talked about 'High School King'. When I heard about it, I went into the audition with an ice hockey costume and a big opportunity came. "
In the big and small crises and opportunities. In the irony of the times, Kang Ki-young learned how to be satisfied and grateful for small things without impatience. It was like what novelist Haruki Murakami called “the small-scale”—and in the end his choice was right. Why would Secretary Kim do that? was an opportunity for viewers to recognize the value of actor Kang Ki-young.
“I’m an actor on a mission, and I have to make fun of my role somehow, and I can’t be fun because of the way you call me with that sense of duty. I tried to increase the original Webtoon role and synchro rate, and after many people praised me for being “really similar,” I was more confident and ad-lib.”
It was the ambassadors such as Young Jun Lee's 'Owner', 'Young Jun', 'Wedding Sexy Bulldozer', and wedding pitch' in the play. It has become a big asset that I have had to perform ad-lib continuously for 15 seconds while doing advertising model for the past five years. In that sense, Kang Ki-young wants to resemble Jo Jung-suk, who shows acting that breaks the existing acting grammar and fumbles.
“Jo Jung-suk is a very flexible actor. He’s a lot of imitations because he wants to look like him. If there's a difference between me and you, I'm going to put it in and save it, and you're going to save the old line like Adlib, and your acting is much more difficult and great. The experience of playing with my brother in Oh My Ghost was so precious. His acting never stopped me from laughing. When I asked him, 'Have you forgotten the ambassador?' He hesitated, he said, 'No, this is acting.' We’re acting together, and you’re the best, so we can forget, ‘Is this acting or is it real?’”
Just as Jo Jung-suk, a musical star, rose to stardom with his rich acting in the film Introduction to Architecture, Kang Ki-young will also focus on what can be done for the time being. If you do that, you believe that someday you will have a chance.
“I used to be in a great acting, and I dreamt of being an actor, following Yoo Ji-tae’s Old Boy. I'm afraid I'm getting sick from the recurrent licorice smoke. But if you're true to reality, you'll get a chance. “If you make a stop, you’ll get another chance.” I’ve already been impatient and bothered myself, so I don’t do it now and I want to do my best to give myself the opportunity.”
