Actor Song Kang-ho gave his honest thoughts on entering Hollywood.

Song Kang-ho met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 2nd and said, `It seems that entering Hollywood is not my area"I'm not equipped to that extent..." he said.

Song Kang-ho had the highest honor as an actor by experiencing Oscar races with his 2019 release 'Parasite'. When asked about his thoughts on entering Hollywood, he said, `I don't think it's my area. Many actors have successfully entered Hollywood, and I don't think I'm equipped to that extent.'"There were several offers from Hollywood, but they all politely declined. Shouldn't acting contain the history, culture, and invisible academic traditions of a country through language. I thought it was a little too much for a Korean to memorize other languages and act. Rather, I think it's a real global advancement to communicate with fans around the world through great Korean movies like Parasite" showed humility.



There was also a time when director Park Chan-wook encouraged me about 20 years ago on the challenge of directing and producing the film. The best staff including myself said they would help, but they refused"It's actually too much to just act. I think I'll continue to be the same because I'm not a person with that ability."

Meanwhile, Song Kang-ho's appearance of '1 Win' is a story about a professional women's volleyball team that has no chance of winning, including a coach who has never won, a team owner who does not intend to win, and even players who do not know how to win, and Shin Yeon-sik, the director of the films 'Casiofea' and 'In Between Eyes', took the megaphone. Song Kang-ho played Kim Woo-jin, a former volleyball player who lost all of his life and career. It will be released on the 4th.
