[Sports Seoul | Reporter Ham Sang-beom] Actor Kim Nam-gil is broadening his creative range, making his presence felt in music as confidently as he does in acting.
On April 17, Kim appeared as a singer on KBS2’s music talk show The Seasons — Sung Si-kyung’s Eardrum Boyfriend. He performed Jung Joon-il’s “Hold Me” and his latest single, “I’m Coming to You,” released last month, showcasing steady vocal control that drew a strong response. Immediately after the broadcast, he ranked first and second on Melon’s popular search list, underscoring the public’s interest.
Social media and online forums filled with praise: “A disruptive force — he’s got the looks, height, humor, acting chops and singing ability,” “He’s handsome, sings well and is funny,” “How can he sing that well? I just have to hug him,” “His tone is incredible — what can’t he do?” and “He sings beautifully; the new song is great.”
Having established himself both as an actor and a singer, Kim Nam-gil plans to continue engaging audiences through music in a variety of formats.
Meanwhile, Kim is slated to appear this year in the film Dream Journey to the Peach Blossom Land and has confirmed a role in SBS’s new drama Nightmare, keeping attention on his next moves as an actor. intellybeast@sportsseoul.com
