Actor Seol Kyung-gu (57) mentioned his development as an actor.

Seol Kyung-gu met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 3rd and interviewed the original Netflix series 'Dolpung' (played by Park Kyung-soo, directed by Kim Yong-wan).

Seol Kyung-gu said of acting "It gets more difficult every year as the years go by. Acting rather narrows the choice, and it is said that I am acting again because I use myself as a material anyway, but it seems that there is no choice but to overlap. The roles and jobs are different, but there is also a pain that it is not 100% solved. Still, I try not to overlap. If you try hard to hear that it doesn't overlap, I want to hear more of that if you say it doesn't overlap while looking at the struggle. But I know it overlaps. The work I'm doing now is also with the team 'Dolpung', and I always told the hair and makeup team 'Don't ever make Park Dong-ho!' That's what I said. I don't want to hear that it's similar."



Seol Kyung-gu then said "I have greed in stages. At this time, there is a desire to do it differently at this time. I have it with my head, and I plan and design it, but it's not easy to show it on the screen. I'm looking for an excuse that I don't have a lot of preparation time" and "I'm trying to adjust the speed and prepare for the next character at that time, but I don't think my acting is researching. The idea is that acting is not teaching. It's about feeling it. I don't think I'm going to take my time on the pretext of getting ready for the next character. I won't take time to avoid overlapping. If you're just in the field, for people like me who don't have many hobbies, the field is both a hobby and a job. There are moments when I think I'm happy to be in the field. I think I feel that moment the most in the field."

'Storms' is a Netflix series about a confrontation between a prime minister who decides to make a presidential bid to overturn the world and a deputy prime minister for economic affairs who tries to stop him and seize power. It is a new work written by Park Kyung-soo, who wrote the dramas `The Chaser, The Golden Empire', `Punch.' Seol Kyung-gu demanded the resignation of the fallen president 'Jang Il-jun', but postponed the prime minister Park Dong-ho, who was in crisis.
