Regarding his upcoming work "Dream of a Garden in the Dream" (Mongyu Doyeon-do), in which he plays Grand Prince Suyang and later King Sejo, actor Kim Nam-kil offered a lighthearted apology to Park Ji-hoon, who portrayed King Danjong in the film "The Man Who Lives with the King."

The 35th 2026 Busan Film Awards ceremony was held on the 7th at Signiel Busan in Haeundae-gu, Busan. Actors Kim Nam-kil and Chun Woo-hee served as hosts.

During interviews with actors that day, Kim Nam-kil mentioned his upcoming work "Dream of a Garden in the Dream" and expressed feelings of regret toward Park Ji-hoon.

Kim Nam-kil said, "'Dream of a Garden in the Dream' shares a similar historical worldview with 'The Man Who Lives with the King.' While I do not objectify the roles themselves, I felt an unexplained sense of apology toward Mr. Park Ji-hoon, who played Danjong."

He continued, "Because I am playing the character of Grand Prince Suyang, who later becomes Sejo, in this work, that feeling became even stronger," adding with a playful tone, "I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to Mr. Park Ji-hoon."

Hearing this, Park Ji-hoon playfully put on an expression as if he were angry at Kim Nam-kil, and laughter broke out in the venue.

Meanwhile, "Dream of a Garden in the Dream" (directed by Jang Hoon) is a film depicting the story of brothers Suyang and Anpyeong, who dream of different paradises after the completion of the painting "Dream of a Garden in the Dream," which captures beautiful yet bizarre scenery from a dream.

Centering on the painting "Dream of a Garden in the Dream," completed in three days based on the ideal paradise garden seen in a dream by Grand Prince Anpyeong, son of King Sejong, and dictated to painter An Gyeon, the film captures moments of the Joseon dynasty facing dramatic fate. Kim Nam-kil plays the role of Grand Prince Suyang in the film, acting alongside Park Bo-gum, Lee Hyun-wook, and others.
