More and more women seem to have unknowingly fallen into the “ambiguous” charm of Son Seok-gu.
More and more women seem to have unknowingly fallen into the “ambiguous” charm of Son Seok-gu. He is not a flower boy, and he is also far from how the main character of a romantic drama looks, but many women are saying that he is taking over their hearts. The point is that even women who are attracted to him don’t know why they fell in love with him.
Son Seok-gu started to hunt for women’s hearts on JTBC’s “Be Melodramatic”. As a special appearance in the drama, he showed a considerable presence and soon turned into a main and supporting character. Playing a crude CF director who spits out words and actions without filtering, his eccentricity and unexpected sweetness seem to have attracted viewers.
His “out of the blue” performance continued on Netflix’s “D.P.’ Playing the role of Captain Lim Ji-sup, who is not in the original story, he added tension to the play as he clashed with Sergeant Park Bum-koo (played by Kim Sung-kyun) over his D.P. duties. Some even commented that his presence was comparable to that of the main characters, Jun-ho (Jeong Hae-in) and Ho-yeol (Gu Kyo-hwan), which made them keep unknowingly looking at him.
His career peaked at JTBC’s “My Liberation Note“. The character played by Son Seok-gu is just called with his surname without a name. He is a person who lives in seclusion in Sanpo, Gyeonggi-do. When he was revealed to be a former madame working at a host bar, the audience in front of the small screen was filled with astonishment.
Koo, who hated himself, changed little by little after meeting Mi-jung (played by Kim Ji-won). The strange charm that exudes from his body bringing the atmosphere back and forth between the melo-romance and noir genre. “The hero of such a healing drama is a host bar pimp?” some might be surprised. However, Son Seok-gu increased the viewers’ sympathy by leading the plot with skillful acting.
In the movie “The Roundup 2,” which was released on May 18th, Son Seok-gu began to “solidify his charm.” On the 18th day after the premiere, the movie’s cumulative audience exceeded 8 million. It was the first movie to surpass 8 million viewers since the pandemic.
“The Roundup 2” is a movie about a crime eradication operation conducted by the monster detective Ma Seok-do (played by Ma Dong-seok) and his team to capture the strongest villain Kang Hae-sang (played by Son Seok-gu). The audience who have watched the movie said, “Now I know why I like Son Seok-gu.”
Actor Son Seok-gu’s background is also drawing attention. In the 15th episode of Mnet’s entertainment show “TMI NEWS SHOW”, which aired on Jun 1st, the rankings of stars who are successful with their second jobs were revealed. Son Seok-gu ranked fourth on the list, but received the most attention.
Son Seok-gu’s second job is being the CEO of a small business. His company is a machinery parts manufacturer in Daejeon Metropolitan City and exports products to more than 10 countries, including the United States, Canada, and Japan. The company’s sales are estimated to be about 2.68 billion won as of 2021, and Son Seok-gu owns 34.3% of the stake in the company. He, who participated in the management of the company even before his debut, is known to be from a “golden spoon” family.
Son Seok-gu started acting late at 29 years old. He mentioned why he chose to act at such a late age was when he volunteered to join the Zaytun unit in Iraq. It is said that he was determined to do everything he wanted to do and boarded a flight to Canada after being discharged from the military, and accidentally went to an acting school and fell in love with acting.
