• SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Exemplary Taxi 3' interview with actor Kim Eui-sung as Jang Sung-chul

Actor Kim Eui-sung, who has been in his 40th year since his debut, has revealed his mindset about life.

Kim Eui-sung recently held a round interview at a cafe in Gangnam-gu, Seoul to commemorate the end of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Model Taxi 3" (written by Oh Sang-ho/directed by Kang Bo-seung).

"Exemplary Taxi 3" is a private revenge act in which the mysterious taxi company Rainbow Transportation and taxi driver Kim Do-ki complete revenge on behalf of the wrongful victim, based on the webtoon of the same name, and was loved a lot as season 1 of 2021 and season 2 of 2023 aired.

The "exemplary taxi" series, which received great love every season, swept the rankings of domestic and international box office indicators, proving the power of the "Super IP Seasonal System." Taxi driver Kim Do-ki (Lee Je-hoon) established himself as a more powerful dark hero, and the end of the villains was even more disastrous. In particular, in "Model Taxi 3", a more three-dimensional story line was established by revealing the past narrative of Jang Sung-chul, or CEO Jang, played by Kim Eui-sung.

Since his debut as a member of the Han River theater company in 1987, Kim Eui-sung has been continuing his "hard work" through the films "Robby," "Alien+Inside," "Spring of Seoul," "Expensive Song," "Extreme Job," "Expensive Job," "Expensive Job," "Expression," "Golden Slumber," "Golden Slumber," "Steel King," "Train to Busan," "Insiders," "Black Priests," " Assassination," "Kwansang," "Nobody's Daughter Haewon," "Namyeong-dong 1985," "Bukchon Direction," "Architect.

Asked about the secret of his hard work, he said, "It is the most precious and desired thing to be able to work steadily and meet colleagues without resting a lot in difficult times like now. Thankfully, we are so grateful to those in the industry who continue to visit us that we do not know what to say."

On the other hand, in terms of age and physical strength, "I'm aging at a scary rate. I feel like I'm in a state where I can't even take it out now. The past five years of filming the "Model Taxi" series have been "This year must be the best year as an actor," "I should live as slowly as possible," and "Huh? It was a time where I lived thinking, 'This year is also good?'

"Of course, there are some regrets. The importance of the role does not decrease, but the exposure time becomes shorter. When I was filming, I thought 'Gaggy', but when I go deeper and think about it, I wonder if there is a way to ask, 'You're good at this, so please show it to me.' "As an actor, I want to play roles with ups and downs, not just showing the results," he said, expressing his honest desire.

Kim Eui-sung, who was born on December 17, 1965, posted a simple picture of his 60th birthday on social media on his birthday last year, expressing his feelings on his birthday, saying, "I will live the rest of my life harmless, free, and fun."

Kim Eui-sung said, "I want to live safely. Even if you breathe, there can be situations that harm people sometimes, so it seems that it becomes harmless only when you are always careful and actively consider others. I want to live with more of those efforts," he said.

Kim Eui-sung, who has already been in his 40th year since his debut, said, "I don't think I've made achievements for a long time as an actor." It's a 'thank you' for surviving a long time, and I don't think I've done much to look back on something. He showed a humble attitude, saying, "I have a sense of pride that I endured well to some extent."

Regarding the so-called "multiple actor" who constantly works in art and meets the public, he said, "I didn't just achieve it," but added, "Of course, there are times when I think shamelessly. What I thought was great was that I decided to act again after a 10-year hiatus. I was very humble, and I think I did a good job of killing a lot of seedlings and becoming a "person who can work together" to people around me.

Kim Eui-sung recently took on a new challenge. Through the pilot content "The Castle of Acting" on the YouTube channel "Vivo TV," a "mockumentary" entertainment that breaks the boundaries between acting and reality based on actual actors' conversations was introduced. Here, Kim Eui-sung was active in planning, directing, scripting, and appearing with actor Lim Hyung-joon, and actor Park Jung-min as a guest attracted more attention.

Kim Eui-sung said, "I was surprised to see the reaction of YouTube content, and I want to keep doing it." It was worthwhile. I think I did a great job of inviting Park Jung-min as my first guest. Isn't it very hot?" he said, expressing satisfaction.
