Kim Nam-gil met with Sports Chosun at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the morning of the 29th and interviewed Netflix's original series 'Trigger' (directed by Kwon Oh-seung, Kwon Oh-seung and Kim Jae-hoon). Referring to the incident that happened before the release of the 「Trigger」, Kim Nam-gil "It is not a work that was made by predicting such a situation, so there is a part I would like you to do separately from the work." And I said that I made it with fantasy elements in my country, and I thought it would happen in reality, but I was really surprised that it happened. In fact, there were victims in the work, so I think they were cautious in such a will. "
Kim Nam-gil then said "The plan was good. Someone might say if it's possible for men to handle everything about guns, but Korea is a country that is possible. Since I am a country that half of the people can handle, and I have a duty of national defense, all men know how to handle guns. So things were fresh about how the reaction would be if the gun were released. When I was young, I thought 'If I have a gun', and in my youth, I see a lot of guns in games. Since Korea is a country where guns are sensitive and prohibited, we approached and paid more attention to the types of guns. If you take any wrong information, it will increase the hurdle, so I took care to make sure you didn't feel repulsed.'
Regarding the fact that Kim Nam-gil thought "What if there was a gun",I thought about that a lot in the past. In school days, it was not a period of personal and physical completion, so I thought that if I changed a little emotionally, I would have shot when I had a gun. Rather than punishing someone, it seems to think about the power that guns have. It's hard now because it's a time when there were a lot of suppressed and pressed and things not to do, but it's even harder then I think he imagined carrying a gun with a feeling of like an escape."
Kim Nam-gil then said "Now, values are changing. For example, if the prevailing idea was that guns would be necessary to protect myself in some form, I think I change my mind while working on the work. The reason why guns were legal in American society was to protect livestock and property, so I wondered if we should have them for that reason. If having a gun is not to protect and protect someone, but if it is peace that is obtained even by killing someone, I think it should be avoided. The ending was good because I thought it would be good to remove some of those risk factors for future children and generations who will live in the future.
However, in the play, Kim Nam-gil was also criticized for being so frustratingly nice, and he also said a lot about how long he would pretend to be nice, mentioning that "It's too frustrating to punish him." I think that's the philosophy and worldview that Ido has. I clearly set the character concept that I would not repeat it again because of past mistakes or situations. Actually, it's frustrating while acting. Another actor 'It's been a long time since I've had a mild taste?He sometimes does ' As I expand my straightforward and natural Kim Nam-gil's things, I tend to be frustrated, and I'm the type to pursue something cooler, but he told me that it tastes mild this time. Of course, there are frustrating copies, but I think we should change the ones that repeat sin and step on it. Rather than being angry and selfish, it seemed that there would be no end to the limit if they punished them when they met the social requirements. He said, "I hate sin, but don't hate people, but I don't think it's right to go in that direction rather than understanding it even now."
Released on the 25th, 'Trigger' is a gun disaster action thriller about two men with guns for their own reasons amid the delivery of illegal guns of unknown origin and continuous gun incidents in South Korea. Kim Nam-gil plays the play Jung-do. Having previously served as a military sniper in a conflict zone, he faces an illegal gun case and raises his gun again to defend justice.
