Actor Hyun Bong-sik shared the advice he received from Song Kang-ho.

On the 19th episode of MBN's variety program "Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night," Hyun Bong-sik appeared as a guest.

That day, Hyun Bong-sik discussed the driving force behind his prolific career, having appeared in over 100 works since 2014: "I feel grateful whenever I'm asked to act, so I usually accept. My agency's CEO and I had what wasn't quite a fight but more like a disagreement. The CEO's stance was that he didn't want me to take on such roles as So Sok-sa (CEO), while my position was, 'What else would you do if not working? I wanted to learn and apply it on set.'"

When asked about memorable works, he pointed to director Lee Seung-won's film "Three Sisters," saying, "It was the first time a director emailed me saying they wanted me to be part of their project."

Hyun Bong-sik then shared Song Kang-ho's advice: "I sought his guidance. While filming 'Emergency Declaration,' I thought, 'If I'm going to contribute to a project, it should be through what I do best, but I was using standard Korean that didn't help.' I explained this concern to him. When I mentioned that other projects required standard Korean and I wasn't sure how to proceed as an actor, Senior Song told me to convey that he wouldn't distinguish between standard Korean and dialect based on labels; instead, if given creative freedom in expression, he would work hard. Those words gave me great strength."
