Singer and actor Kim Dong-wan recently caught attention by revealing his stance on appearing in entertainment shows.
On 4th, Kim Dong-wan candidly expressed his feelings on SNS, saying, "I hope I won't receive any more invites for entertainment grants. I don't have the confidence to make people laugh, and I don't really want to bring up real stories in front of the public."
. He continued, "Touching on the past only leaves scars for myself. Can't I live quietly while pretending to be happy and successful? I just wish to be left alone," expressing his burden regarding entertainment activities. He added, "If I've made excuses about my schedule three times, please just stop inviting me. Of course, it was probably ordered from above...ㅜㅜ."
Reactions from fans and colleagues followed. Jang Ga-hyun commented, "I... went on 'Dongchimi' and 'Ui-hon'... I really shot myself in the foot," expressing her empathy. Seo Yoo-ri said, "Oppa~~ It might be a rude thing to say, but I really envy your composure. I'm also someone who wants to stop talking about the past," leaving a comment. One fan encouraged, "So what genre of show do you want to appear on? Just seeing your face on TV or YouTube makes some people happy and joyful. Don't stress too much," which prompted Kim Dong-wan to respond, "I prefer stage, drama, and home shopping—things where the results reflect the effort put in," expressing his philosophy of activity.
This statement drew attention as it resurfaced the advice Yoo Jae-suk gave Ji Ye-eun on 'Running Man,' aired in February. At that time, Yoo Jae-suk told Ji Ye-eun, who was tired of the repetitive daily life, "You need to completely cut off work. That's the best way," which brought laughter. Haha also chimed in, saying, "If work stops, I'll prepare personal talent shows," expressing his agreement.
Kim Dong-wan is focusing on his acting career as he recently starred as Oh Heung-soo in the drama 'For Eagle Brothers,' which concluded airing. Through this statement, he clearly stated his desire to concentrate on stage and acting activities where he truly feels strength and satisfaction, rather than entertainment shows.
