Kim Nam Gil has a lot of things to share about his life before the release of his new Korean disaster film, Emergency Declaration.

South Korea’s film industry will release another disaster film following the success of its recent K-dramas and films. This time, Emergency Declaration will show why it was selected to premiere at the 74th Cannes Film Festival in July 2021 and scored a spot in the Out of Competition section.

Kim Nam Gil, one of the cast members, plays the role of the pilot, Hyun Soo. Ahead of the film’s release, the actor shared further details about the film and the character, as well as interesting stories about his life and career.

Kim Nam Gil Talks About Emergency Declaration

The 42-year-old star recently graced the pages of Cosmopolitan Korea and sat for an interview with the magazine afterward.

Kim Nam Gil was asked whether he felt pressured due to the Emergency Declaration’s delayed release amid the COVID-19 pandemic. He revealed that, although he felt a little burdened, he is still happy that the film will be released this year.

“There are stories that can be understood in any era, and there are stories that are needed in a specific era. This even applies to movies we watch to kill time,” he said.

The actor also spoiled the readers by saying that the film would comfort those people who have been hurt and badly affected by disasters in the past years. Indeed, the film’s plot and theme might be relatable to the public since Emergency Declaration follows the stories of people in a flight whose lives have been bombarded with terrorist threats.

Emergency Declaration will premiere on August 3.

Kim Nam Gil Says He Wants To Earn More Money

Elsewhere in the discussion, the magazine asked him about the comment in another interview in which he said he wanted to make a lot of money.

Kim Nam Gil said he still wants to earn more although he makes more money now than he did when he was younger. Still, he reportedly does not have much money in his pocket.

“Not so long ago, I happened to find a nice building, and I thought about providing a temporary residence for those who suddenly lose access to support after reaching a legal age. But again, I’m not sure, I might change my mind after saying this, or there may be no need for me to do that if the government establishes a good social welfare system,” he went on.

Kim Nam Gil famously shares his earnings with his non-profit organization, Gilstory. It focuses on preserving cultural heritage while helping people through special relief funds.
