Actor Kim Mu-yeol revealed his connection with Heo Nam-jun.

On the 12th, I met with Kim Mu-yeol, an actor in the Netflix series "True Education," at a café on Samcheong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, and had a variety of conversations.

"True Education" is a Netflix series depicting the bold activities of the School Authority Protection Bureau, which stands on the side of victims to correct schools. Kim Mu-yeol plays the role of "Na Hwa-jin," a sharp-witted inspector from the School Authority Bureau.

Recently, John Cena posted a single photo of Kim Mu-yeol on his SNS, which has 21.31 million followers, without any additional comment.

On that day, Kim Mu-yeol expressed his fandom, saying, "I was originally a fan of WWF (now WWE). I even hung a bromide of Hulk Hogan's championship days on my wall and read magazines." He added, "I felt that John Cena, whether he was active in WWE or as an actor, is not just entertaining but also a deep and broad-minded person. I found him to be someone without prejudice and fun in an unpretentious way, which made me like him."

He continued, "I was very hesitant about posting his photo on SNS myself. I also struggled with whether I should post his photo, and while wondering how to convey my gratitude, I left a comment."

Regarding the resemblance reactions, he stated, "Even I think we look alike, and there are people who agree. I've heard people mention Ong Seong-woo, Hyung Sean, Mark Wahlberg, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I do see some similarities. Hyung Sean looks surprisingly similar to me."

He added with a laugh, "I was too shy to say in the group chat that 'John Cena posted my photo,' so I didn't, but Pyo Ji-hoon posted it, and I saw it."

He also mentioned that Heo Nam-jun, who has received much love for "All of Us Are Dead," has cited him as a role model.

Kim Mu-yeol said, "Recently, I exchanged messages with (Heo) Nam-jun. We were paired together while filming 'Sweet Home.' We became very close, and we are also seniors and juniors from Sungkyunkwan University. Although we first met on set, being juniors from Sungkyunkwan University became an opportunity to get closer." He continued, "When I told him, 'Let's celebrate both of us,' Nam-jun replied, 'Congratulations so much. Even for me, this day has come.' I sent a message to enjoy ourselves and be grateful to our hearts' content. I am so happy that Nam-jun is doing well."
