Kim Min-seok Charms as a 'Pure-Hearted Man' in 'Taepung Company', Also Participates in OST 'Wolf Star'

Actor Kim Min-seok is capturing hearts as a devoted 'pure-hearted man' in the drama 'Taepung Company'.

'Taepung Company' depicts the challenging growth journey of Kang Tae-pung (played by Lee Jun-ho), a novice trading company president who finds himself with no employees, money, or assets during the 1997 IMF crisis.

Kim Min-seok plays Nam-mo, Tae-pung's close friend, adding significant vitality to the drama. In episode 12, Nam-mo was caught between his mother and girlfriend. When Nam-mo's mother told Mi-ho (played by Kwon Han-sol) to break up with her son due to financial difficulties, Nam-mo firmly held her hand and declared, "No matter what my mom said, I will never break up with you." Later, seeing Mi-ho turn away, deeply hurt, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Mi-ho. I'm truly sorry you had to hear that," which deeply moved viewers.

Kim Min-seok flawlessly portrayed the complex emotions of frustration, sadness, and apology through his nuanced expressions, solidifying his 'pure-hearted man' character. Furthermore, Kim Min-seok showcased his multifaceted talents by participating in the OST 'Wolf Star' as a lyricist, composer, and vocalist. The song carries a warm message of becoming the brightest star in one's life to light the way.

Following his roles in TVING's 'Shark: The Storm' and the movie 'Noise', Kim Min-seok is reinforcing his reputation as a 'trustworthy actor' with his string of successful projects, including 'Taepung Company'.

Netizens are praising Kim Min-seok's performance, commenting, "I really empathized with the character Nam-mo," "Actor Kim Min-seok's acting made me cry ㅠㅠ," and "He even participated in the OST, is there anything he can't do?"
