Actor Song Il-guk confessed that he resented his mother, Kim Eul-dong.
In the MBN variety program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' broadcast on the 23rd, Song Il-guk appeared as a guest and showcased his candid and open conversation.
That day, Song Il-guk mentioned his mother, who entered politics in 1995, stating, "She is my biggest anti. The moment someone enters politics, half of their popularity is lost. I was swept up in it wholesale simply because I am her son, and there was nothing I could do."

He recalled, "Actually, I was offered a quite large role, and it was even approved up to the section chief level. Since it was election season, they warned me to be careful. They made all sorts of excuses, saying, 'You need to learn action, you need to learn dialogue, you need to learn archery,' and they did not help with the election campaign."
Although he avoided election campaigning with all sorts of excuses, he received a shocking call from the production team the day before the election that his casting had been changed. Song Il-guk expressed his regret, saying, "My mother ended up blocking her son's path, so how sorry must she have felt? She wasn't even elected in the election. I thought I should have worked hard to help her. I am her right-hand man, after all."
