When you talk about acting or a role, you’re very serious. Were you also that earnest in the way you enjoy playing bowling? You trying to be a pro player was a hot issue.
I don’t think that much about things. Especially when I’m into something, I tend to get obsessed with it. Last year, it was bowling. I enjoyed playing bowling. I enjoyed it, so I was curious about taking this enjoyement to another level and I ended up going often to the bowling alley. There was this challenge at the end. The one variable was the fact that I often go to the bowling alley at night. The pro tournament began at 7 in the morning and went on for 15 games straight. That’s why I built up my condition by practicing at this hour before the tournament began. I would have probably not tried it if I had said to myself “what if I fail? what if I become a prop bowling player?”. I just started like that. Usually, if you manage to go through the first round, they give you your license. Getting this license wasn’t my goal, so I made it to the second round. I really practiced hard. It turned out to be a life experience. It’s not that I’m not sad about some stuff, but I have no regret.
Actor Kim Soo Hyun is persistant, collected while being rational. How are you in your daily life?
The actor I am and the person I am in my daily life aren’t that much different. Because me being Kim Soo Hyun is the starting point for both aspects. It’s just that acting is an optional aspect of my life. Within these limits, I may need to be a bit more careful and focused, but the pivotal point doesn’t change. Someone can deviate but can’t get rid of the sense of responsibility or duty that he/she must have. If anything, there are high probabilities that the actor in me takes over the daily me, so I try my best to stay focused and rational to decresase the probability.
This is Kim Soo Hyun: Due to the success of his dramas, Soo Hyun has endorsed a staggering number of products. When he starred in Moon Embracing the Sun, he had his face on 17 different products ranging from restaurants to beer to electronics devices at the same time. When My Love from the Star exploded in popularity through Asia, he had an astonishing 35 local and international endorsement deals in 2014 alone.
Soo Hyun is no stranger to award ceremonies and has won numerous acting, style and popularity awards throughout his career. Some of his most notable accomplishments include winning Best Actor (Television) for his role in the massive hit drama Moon Embracing The Sun, which also won Best Drama at the 48th Baeksang Arts Awards and Best New Actor for the film Secretly, Gently at the 50th Grand Bell Awards and 50th Baeksang Arts Awards. He was also awarded the Grand Prize (Daesang) consecutively at the 7th and 8th Korea Drama Awards for My Love from the Star and The Producers.
Other honourable mentions include It’s Okay to Not Be Okay, One Ordinary Day, and Queen of Tears. Queen Of Tears is currently the most-watched tvN K-drama, surpassing the 2019 hit K-drama, Crashing Landing On You.
Do you have even 1% of his dedication? If you had any success in your life, you wouldn't be standing here spitting on someone else who has had countless successes throughout his life.
How can I swallow the crap spewed out by some scumbags, when this man worked hard and gave his all as both a human being and an artist? How can you have so much hatred in you and destroy everything this man has worked for his entire life?? And you say you are not haters....
Some interesting facts about actor and man Kim Soo Hyun: * In March 2015, Kim was awarded for being a model taxpayer by the local tax office for paying taxes every Tax Day.
* Although he is a well-known left-hander after fans spotted him signing with his left hand at events, Soo Hyun trained hard to use his right hand for the drama My Love from the Star. He showed off his efforts by writing and eating with his non-dominant hand in the drama. He can now use both hands comfortably and even bowls with his right hand.
* A bowling enthusiast, Kim Soo Hyun applied to become a professional bowler in October 2016. He ranked 10th out of the 114 participants on his first try-out tournament but failed to make the cut on the second, falling short of the 200 points needed to qualify with only 192.3. Kim showcased his bowling skills on his guest appearance on MBC's Infinite Challenge.
* Soo Hyun studied song and dance for 3 months at JYP Entertainment, home to famous K-pop groups TWICE and Got7, for his scenes in the popular musical teen drama Dream High. Playing a country bumpkin with singing talent who enrolled into a renowned performing arts high school, he was the only idol in a cast of K-pop idols such as Suzy Bae, IU and 2PM’s Ok-Taec-yeon. He recorded a solo track Dreaming, and the title track Dream High with his cast mates for the drama soundtrack. He also went on to contribute his vocals to many of his drama soundtracks over the years. He even showed off his singing chops on good friend F.T Island’s Lee Hong Ki’s radio show Kiss The Radio when they sang F.T. Island’s Wind.
* During an interview with People magazine when he was in Los Angeles to attend KCON LA in 2015, he revealed that when he was young, his mother suggested for him to attend acting classes as he was an introvert. Acting in a play made him feel like he became a different person, and when he felt ecstatic upon hearing the audience’s applause, he knew he wanted to become an actor then.
* Although Soo Hyun has a pre-existing heart condition and was originally designated as a public service worker, he went through an additional physical examination to be cleared for active duty. An outstanding trainee during his basic training, he was assigned to the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, which is stationed at the DMZ or demilitarized zone between North and South Korea. Part of his duties included patrolling the area while looking out for enemy ambushes and searching for active land mines. He even received an early promotion as a Sergeant for his exceptional conduct.
It was expected that they would demand compensation, according to the contractual clauses. He will most likely be forced to pay them, regardless of whether he is proven innocent. That is precisely why I believe he has requested and will request compensation from those who brought charges against him.
If it turns out that he was wrongly accused, he will press charges and obtain compensation from both those who accused him and those who spread these rumors. According to the Art. 307 paragraph 2 from Criminal Act, “(2)” A person who defames another by publicly alleging false facts shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years, suspension of qualifications for not more than ten years, or a fine not exceeding ten million won.”
His lawyers will do their best because they will most likely be paid a success fee. It is known that they have already identified the IP of a user who sent such messages and detailed investigations will be conducted.
Kim Soo Hyun's rise to fame is the result of hard work, talent and careful selection of roles that allowed him to show his versatility as an actor. His influence extends far beyond South Korea's borders and he remains one of the most important figures in the Korean entertainment industry.
I am back again I see netizen's even are attacking another artist and the sad part is they sent Funeral flowers…
So much energy just to hate....it gives me goosebumps what's going on in the minds of these Koreans. And I'm glad that, instead of pleasing these ha*ers and apologizing, then ending his l*fe, KSH chose the long but sure path to reform in this industry and in this country. And if another artist joined, so much the better. Koreans are very sinister... And they worked so hard for what they have, only to later kill their own values. #westandandprotectkimsoohyun
It fills a void.... "Acts of hate are attempts to distract oneself from feelings such as helplessness, powerlessness, injustice, inadequacy and shame. Hate is grounded in some sense of perceived threat. It is an attitude that can give rise to hostility and aggression toward individuals or groups. Like much of anger, it is a reaction to and distraction from some form of inner pain. The individual consumed by hate may believe that the only way to regain some sense of power over his or her pain is to preemptively strike out at others. In this context, each moment of hate is a temporary reprieve from inner suffering."
KSHs notoriety has allowed a craze to be unleashed that can provide journalists with material and others with the perfect shield. In other words, offering bread and circus means giving the masses trivial things to distract them from real problems. "Panem et circenses. " Decimus Juvenalis

Good luck amateurs!
You started your speech by insulting left and right... This is as pathetic as it can be.
And I'm glad that, instead of pleasing these ha*ers and apologizing, then ending his l*fe, KSH chose the long but sure path to reform in this industry and in this country.
And if another artist joined, so much the better. Koreans are very sinister... And they worked so hard for what they have, only to later kill their own values.
