Actor Namkoong Min drew admiration with his unchanged youthful looks even as he approaches 50 next year.
On the 10th, Namkoong Min appeared as a guest on KBS2's Problem Child in House.
That day Kim Sook greeted him warmly, calling him "our Min." In response, Namkoong Min explained, "'Namkoong' is the family name and 'Min' is the given name," and Hong Jin Kyung joked, "If he's younger than me I'll also call him Min." Namkoong Min replied affectionately, "Of course, sister," creating a warm atmosphere.
He also opened up about his usual shopping habits. Namkoong Min said, "I used to buy a lot of my own things. But now I try not to," and confessed, "I thought I bought because I needed it rather than being addicted, but at some point I felt clothes were meaningless." He added, "I began to realize I should spend less time filling myself with material things and focus more on acting."
Above all, everyone was astonished when his age was revealed. Born in 1978, Namkoong Min will turn 50 next year. Upon hearing this, Joo Woo Jae exclaimed, "Haha, is he older than hyung?" and the cast showered him with praise, saying, "He's totally youthful," and "He really took good care of himself."
Meanwhile, Namkoong Min achieved the uncommon feat of winning the best actor award three times for Stove League, The Veil, and Lover, earning a triple award. With his dazzling filmography, he has firmly established himself as a leading actor in Korea.
