Hyun Bong-sik's 'Pig's Trotters' Praise from Kim Yun-seok? Behind-the-Scenes Revealed on 'Life is a Movie'

Actor Hyun Bong-sik will appear on KBS 1TV's movie talk show 'Life is a Movie' (Episode 24) to share a variety of anecdotes.

On the show, Hyun Bong-sik received high praise as an 'object of a human' from film critic Rainer. His ability to naturally blend into any project was highly recognized, having starred in over 100 works, including the drama 'D.P.' and films such as 'The Classified File,' 'Ode to My Father,' and '1987: When a Day Comes.'

Hyun Bong-sik attributed his prolific career to his experiences during his long period of obscurity and his persistent effort. He revealed that he still auditions regularly and, although he didn't get a role in 'Decision to Leave,' he was cast in 'Gyeongseong Creature.'

Notably, he shared an anecdote from his audition for the film 'The Classified File,' where director Kwak Gyeong-taek complimented him by asking, "Where have a gem like you been hiding all this time?" He then had to pass a test from senior actor Kim Yun-seok, successfully navigating it with witty ad-libs. The heartwarming episode, where senior actor Kim Yun-seok bought him pig's trotters that day, has piqued viewers' curiosity.

Furthermore, contrary to his intense on-screen persona, Hyun Bong-sik revealed a softer side by naming the romantic comedy classic 'Notting Hill' as his favorite film. The episode will also feature behind-the-scenes stories from Chungmuro, including his casting in '1987: When a Day Comes' and the secret to his 'real couple' chemistry with actress Jang Yoon-ju in the film 'Three Sisters.'

Hyun Bong-sik debuted in the play 'King Lear' in 2005 and made his screen debut in the film 'Runway Cop' in 2013. He has gained attention as a 'scene-stealer' for his exceptional ability to portray various characters and has consistently pursued his acting career. Beyond his reputation as a prolific actor, Hyun Bong-sik also communicates with the public through various entertainment programs with his outstanding variety show skills.
