'Recently, Kim Min-jong fired the opening salvo announcing his return to the film "Florence." He also hinted at a pink explosion this year.
Recently, the film "Florence" achieved results at overseas film festivals, and Kim Min-jong's Instagram Reels video recorded 40 million views, once again drawing attention to his presence. The numbers are flashy, but what is truly impressive are the eyes that carry the years and his silent demeanor.
On set, Kim Min-jong is still considered an 'icon of consideration.' Even after filming ends, he is known as an actor who checks on the staff's condition first and quietly helps clean up. Staff who worked with him said, "He is always the one who asks 'Are you okay?' first," and "The sight of him staying behind alone to tidy the set is impressive." A phrase he often uses is "Only when everyone shines is it a true work."
This attitude permeates his performance in the work. In this film, Kim Min-jong calmly portrayed the solitude of middle age, and that sincerity left a special resonance with audiences in their 40s and 50s. Beyond being a cool star, the reaction was that he came as a quiet consolation that "we too can start again."
Meanwhile, a different side was revealed on variety shows. On the episode of My Little Old Boy broadcast on the 18th, Kim Min-jong and Youngtak joined Yoon Min-soo's housewarming. Kim Min-jong held a divining rod and checked the feng shui of Yoon Min-soo's home, showing an unexpected side as a "fortune-telling believer." Watching this, Shin Dong-yeob added laughter, saying, "Kim Min-jong really believes in stuff like that."
When talk turned to dating, Kim Min-jong said, "There is a teacher who reads my saju well," and "They said I have marriage luck within 2 to 3 years." The telephone saju interpretation said, "He is stubborn but easily influenced, and his dating luck is very good," and "This year he has a noble person luck and will meet his ideal type between April and June." The remark "If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait 10 years until age 65" filled the set with laughter. At the interpretation that "an assertive woman suits you and if you marry, child luck will come immediately," Kim Min-jong also showed an embarrassed smile.
Kim Min-jong recently confessed, "There is no romance, and because of my age I have become cautious," but added, "I am trying to change my passive ways." After admitting he went through a difficult time until the year before last, a small hope for this spring was added.
A quiet but firm attitude, trust built through consideration, and even the human frailty revealed on variety shows. Kim Min-jong's return is not a simple comeback. It is the dignity of a person who has crossed the years, and a prelude to a pink spring day that may open again.<
