      I've never seen Song Kang-Ho being interviewed like this; I've only seen him in movies, and he's such an amazing character actor that I've never known what he was like in real life. It's a treat to see him just laughing and chatting like this, after I've watched him play so many tortured characters.

    I met him once when I was about 11 yrs old at a playground near my apartment- he was taking a break or probably watching over his kid also playing. Recognised him and got an autograph behind my dad's business card I happend to have then. I still remember how humble he was towards me and my friend- just bunch of kids. He really hasn't changed-

    If Hollywood has Tom Hanks, then korea has Song Kang Ho.
    Not comparing or anything, but they both have this quality to single-handedly hold the story on their own, can capture your attention with their portrayal of characters, such is their charisma on screen. They have this grandness about them but at the same time are able to feel relatable to us.
    I wanna see both of these actors together in a single frame once in my life 🙏

    Song Kang-Ho is hands down one of the best actors of this generation. His ensemble scenes in Memories of Murder, his physical comedy, his glances, his faces when he's not speaking or emoting at all, like his exhausted face in Parasite... superb.

    Song Kang-Ho and Shin Ha-Kyun are my favorite actors of all film. They never fail to give amazing performances. Some of the most gifted in the world. I willingly watch anything they're in. Memories of Murder and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance are my favorite. The best is any film with both of them together.

    Song Kang Ho has an AMAZING acting role history and it speaks to the type of actor he is that he can relate on a humanistic level across all his films...
