Kim Nam Gil Faces Massive Boycotts from International Fanbase
South Korea’s prominent actor Kim Nam Gil has reportedly been facing an intense boycott from his international fanbase. This boycott is a follow-up action on the previous casting of Kim Nam Gil in a problematic new webtoon-adaptation drama, “Get Schooled.”
On November 6, a post on the Korean community TheQoo revealed an extensive statement from Kim Nam Gil’s fanbase. In the statement, the fans spoke up in a long explanation surrounding the controversy of “Get Schooled” new drama and why Kim Nam Gil should not participate in the project.
Not only that, but the fans also voiced strong demands to the actors to “be considerate and remember his female and/or international fans.” Then, they also urged Kim Nam Gil to “turn down the role as soon as possible.”
Due to the intense boycott, Kim Nam Gil decided to respond to the demands personally.
Official Response to “Get Schooled” New Drama Controversy
On November 8, the actor posted an Instagram Story, clarifying that he had only received the “Get Schooled” script. And since he’s still busy with his current project, “The Fiery Priest 2,” Kim Nam Gil has not had the chance to read and review the script.
Therefore, Kim Nam Gil assured his fans that he would make the right decision. He thanked his fans for their endless support and asked them to continue trusting him.
“Hello, this is Kim Nam Gil! Today’s a great day because I get to reconnect with all of you as Father Kim Hae Il in ‘The Fiery Priest.’
I heard that a lot of you were concerned after seeing the casting news that came out yesterday.
To clarify things, yes, my agency received an offer for the drama ‘Get Schooled.’ But I haven’t had the chance to go over it personally yet.
I believe it’s respectful to make decisions myself, so before I can accept or decline, I’d need some time to review the offer first. Right now, though, I’m completely focused on The Fiery Priest and don’t have the time or energy to think about anything else.
Everyone on the cast and crew is putting their heart and soul into finishing the final shoots, ensuring we deliver something special for all of you who’ve waited so long for this season and shown us so much love.
I always try to ensure the fans who support me aren’t disappointed. If you can keep trusting me and cheering us on, I’m sure ‘The Fiery Priest’ will bring you lots of laughs this winter.
Please stay healthy, and let’s make this season joyful together.
