Incheon has witnessed a shocking incident where a father shot and killed his son, while Kim Nam-gil expressed concerns about gun incidents.
Recently, the fashion magazine Harper's BAZAAR Korea unveiled a photoshoot featuring two actors from the Netflix series 'Trigger,' Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang. In this photoshoot, the two actors, facing each other across a wall and table, showcased their unique charisma in black outfits.
The gun disaster action thriller 'Trigger' portrays the story of two men who pick up guns for their own reasons in a society plagued by a series of gun incidents caused by illegal firearms whose sources are unknown.
Kim Nam-gil, who plays the role of 'Lee Do,' a police officer and former military sniper, responded to a question about the challenges he faced preparing for action acting, saying, "In extreme situations where choices must be made, the emotions Lee Do has come through in a unique way based on that setting. It's not merely about a good person overpowering a bad person or taking action to punish or kill someone; rather, the act of picking up a gun (as Lee Do) should deliver the message that it's wrong, so that aspect was different." Kim Young-kwang, who plays Lee Do's mysterious ally 'Moon Baek,' expressed his deep affection for his role, saying, "I was glad to be able to take on this character, and it felt like a choice made for me. Even while acting, I felt relieved to be able to do this."
When asked about the appeal of the series that deals with the psychological triggers of various characters, Kim Nam-gil said, "If you look at it as a crime thriller, there used to be many cases where evidence was uncovered and arrests were made through direct murders, but now it's common to see crimes where people unfortunately take their own lives under the guise of gaslighting or grooming online. Given that guns are provided in this setting, there's a lot to think about concerning our society." Kim Young-kwang added, "The question of whether to listen or not, whether to shoot or not—it's interesting how this issue is spreading among people and society like an epidemic. The premise of 'what if' vividly emerges within this series," elevating expectations for the work.
When asked what the two actors are currently dedicated to the most as performers, Kim Young-kwang replied, "It may seem trivial, but I go to bed at 10 p.m. and wake up early in the morning to maintain the best condition. I dislike showing fatigue the next day or being in a situation where I can't do my best." Kim Nam-gil said, "In the past, I have planned my life for about 10 years on what kind of works I wanted to do, but ultimately, things don't always go as planned. I believe that if I spend each day faithfully and consistently, the acting I can show at that age will change."
The Netflix series 'Trigger' is set to premiere on July 25. The photoshoot and interview featuring actors Kim Nam-gil and Kim Young-kwang will be available in the August 2025 issue of Harper's BAZAAR.
