Actor Song Il-guk recalled his school days, which were marked by wandering and confusion.
In the MBN entertainment program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' broadcast on the 23rd, Song Il-guk appeared as a guest and shared candid and heartfelt stories.
That day, Song Il-guk said, "Viewers are being misled. They call me a patriot, but that's not true at all. I really upset my mother and was a troublemaker," surprising everyone.
He added, "In high school, I had 31 days of unexcused absences. Three tardies counted as one absence. I would go to school briefly during lunchtime, eat my bento, and leave. My own children shouldn't be like that," leaving the studio in stunned silence.

Song Il-guk also recalled, "When Kim Ju-ha asked how I got into college, I said I took the entrance exam four times. I applied to art schools but kept getting rejected. A friend recommended I join the theater and film department if I wanted to study stage design. I went out of curiosity, but there were no courses related to stage design. I only took art classes and was eventually expelled."
He then added, "Once I matured, I realized I had to graduate from college, so I re-enrolled and finally graduated 12 years later," drawing laughter from the audience.
Meanwhile, Song Il-guk expressed gratitude toward his mother, Kim Eul-dong, drawing attention. He said, "My mother raised me without ever nagging me. It wasn't because she lacked interest; she always believed in me. That's probably why I am who I am today. She supported and believed in me no matter what I did. If she hadn't, I might be in prison right now. I might have even met my wife somewhere else."
