“Nevertheless” actor, who cheated on the girlfriend he dated for 6 years, made his comeback after a year through Netlfix series “Narco-Saints”
Actor Kim Min-gwi, who went on hiatus for a while after being embroiled in a two-timing scandal, drew attention as he recently showed his face on the screen again.
Controversies over having a one-night stand, two-timing while in a romantic relationship and using abusive language
In July last year, while JTBC’s drama “Nevertheless” was being broadcast, controversies over Kim Min-gwi’s private life arose.
A, who introduced herself as Kim Min-gwi’s ex-girlfriend whom the actor dated for six years, posted a revelation on an online community exposing Kim Min-gwi for having a one-night stand while he was in a relationship with her.
A revealed that the actor cheated on her and had affairs with several women.
According to A, Kim Min-gwi also used abusive language toward her. A said, “You keep appearing on the TV and showing up on Instagram. I hope everyone knows how selfish you are and that you’re such a bad guy”.
A continued, “A womanizer like you is receiving love with the image of a conservative and reliable person, which is opposite to reality. You’re deceiving the public”, adding “I asked if he was not afraid of his acting career being affected if his personal relationships were exposed but he told me to do whatever I wanted. I wonder whether people who read this article would feel the same way as me even when they get to know the nature and true personality of this guy, or whether they would continue to like his appearance on TV”.
Later, Big Picture Entertainment issued Kim Min-gwi’s apology, saying “Regarding the controversies over his private life, the actor admits his faults”. In other words, Kim Min-gwi admitted that the allegations of him having a one-night stand, cheating and verbally abusing his ex-girlfriend were true.
Kim Min-gwi also posted a handwritten apology on his Instagram. He bowed his head and said, “It is true that I hurt the friend who had shared many things with me for a long period of time, and regardless of the reason, it’s my fault and I’m reflecting on myself”.
As the production team of “Nevertheless” tried to cut the scenes of Kim Min-gwi as much as possible, the actor reportedly went on a hiatus for self-reflection.
Appearing in Netflix’s “Narco-Saints” and proving his strong presence
About a year later, Kim Min-gwi starred in Netflix’s “Narco-Saints”, which was recently released on September 9th.
Kim Min-gwi played Lee Sang-jun, who disguised himself as a Korean pastor but turned out to be a butler who follows Jeon Yo-hwan (Hwang Jung-min), the Korean drug lord who has taken control of Suriname by distributing cocaine. He took on an important role in the series and showed off his impressive visual and acting.
According to the video streaming ranking website Flix Patrol, “Narco-Saints” is gaining huge popularity as it ranked 6th in the Worldwide Netflix TV Show Chart on September 12th.
Viewers are looking forward to seeing how successful “Narco-Saints”, starring Kim Min-gwi, Ha Jung-woo, Hwang Jung-min, Park Hae-soo, Jo Woo-jin, and Yoo Yeon-seok, will become.
