Recently, Actor Kim Nam-gil officially joined the global fan communication platform “From.” Even before the service’s formal opening, he drew attention by using the platform’s status message feature to casually ask fans whether they had tried a trending dessert, signaling his eagerness to interact.
Once the platform fully opened, Kim Nam-gil began sending messages starting at 11:30 a.m. and continued communicating with fans throughout the day until the early evening. He shared updates about the cold weather, his filming schedule, and even his plans to attend a wrap-up party after completing a shoot. His relaxed and playful tone made fans feel as if they were chatting with a close friend.
He also discussed his experience trying the popular Dubai chewy cookie, explaining that while it was not particularly special, he appreciated the version made by his staff for its sincerity and taste. Kim Nam-gil further opened up about his upcoming film Canvas of Blood, describing the set as one of the happiest filming environments he has experienced, despite the tight schedule and limited budget.
Throughout the day, Kim Nam-gil continued to send selfies taken during car rides and actively responded to fan messages, earning praise for his genuine and energetic engagement from the very first day.
The actor is well known for his talkative personality, often mentioned alongside Ju Ji-hoon and Yoon Kyung-ho as some of the most chatty actors in the industry. His reputation was solidified last year when he held a fan meeting that lasted nearly five hours, sparking humorous online reactions and jokes about fans being “held hostage”.
Reflecting on the lengthy fan meeting during a later interview, Kim Nam-gil explained that such events are rare opportunities to connect with fans who often share heartfelt letters and personal stories. As conversations naturally flowed, the event unintentionally extended far beyond its planned duration.
He even joked about the possibility of hosting an all-day fan meeting in the future, openly advertising it as a marathon event further cementing his image as one of the most passionate and communicative actors in the industry.
