Actress Nam Moon-hee, known as "grandmothers' wish," grants an appearance on "Radio Star," revealing her past as the voice for "Marilyn Monroe" to "Sophia Loren." Additionally, the fact that her "mother role" began surprisingly with actor Lee Dae-geun's mother, who is two years younger than her, is set to draw laughter.
Tonight (5th), MBC's "Radio Star" (planned by Kang Young-seon and directed by Kim Myung-yeob and Hwang Yoon-sang) will feature a special episode titled "Suspicious Ladies," with Kim Young-ok, Nam Moon-hee, Yang Jung-a, Kim Jae-hwa, and Kim Ah-young granting appearances.
Nam Moon-hee is a beloved national actress who showcases her acting skills through various dramas. She gained immense popularity with the "High Kick" series, making headlines as "Sweet Potato" and marking a milestone in the sitcom genre. Furthermore, her remarkable performance in the film "I Can Speak" earned her Best Actress awards at the Blue Dragon Film Awards, Baeksang Arts Awards, and Daejong Film Awards, drawing significant attention.
Nam Moon-hee began her acting career as a voice actor in 1961, debuting with MBC as part of its first class of recruits alongside her "lifelong friend" Kim Young-ok. During a time when dubbing foreign films instead of subtitles became the norm, she revealed that she covered the voices of everyone from "Marilyn Monroe" to "Sophia Loren," surprising everyone. It is rumored that she showcased her "skills" in dubbing foreign actresses, earning thumbs up from all.
Nam Moon-hee also noted that her "mother role" began with playing the mother of Lee Dae-geun, who is two years younger than her, bringing laughter. She revealed that she draws character motifs from people around her, stating that the motif for "High Kick" Madam Nam Moon-hee was her "aunt," vividly describing the traits that caused everyone to burst into laughter.
At the end of last year, Nam Moon-hee and her "lifelong friend" Kim Young-ok jointly received the Best Actress Award at the "2024 Seoul International Film Awards" for their film "Picnic." Following this, the works in which the two had previously partnered in acting were mentioned, and Nam Moon-hee revealed a drama where she cried for several days while acting with Kim Young-ok. When related footage was released, everyone held their breath in concentration, and it is said that the deep resonance left them speechless for a while, raising curiosity about what kind of performance the drama showcased.
Nam Moon-hee subsequently shared the story of being the first supporting actor to receive a "KBS Acting Award." At that time, she appeared in a drama written by Moon Young-nam, who stated, "If Nam Moon-hee doesn't get the award, I won't write any more." She revealed this behind-the-scenes secret and expressed her joy at receiving the award.
Nam Moon-hee and Kim Young-ok also shared their first impressions of each other, with Nam Moon-hee stating that the moment she saw Kim Young-ok, the word "penny-pincher" came to mind, which reportedly embarrassed Kim Young-ok, known as "halmi-nem," and turned the studio into a sea of laughter.
Much like her dramatic roles, the episodes from Nam Moon-hee's acting life overflow like a treasure trove, which can be confirmed on tonight (5th) at 10:30 p.m. on "Radio Star."
