CEO Wang Ki-jun does not just run an acting academy. He has a clear sense of duty to exert a good influence on the acting industry. It is CEO Wang's wish that young people who run toward their dream of becoming actors are providing a strong bridge so that they do not get lost.
Mr. Wang has recently come up with a new project. It is the Media Acting Monologue Festival. The competition, which can be a real opportunity for new actors, seeks to differentiate itself in that it focuses only on "media acting," not stage acting. "I'm thinking about doing an acting monologue festival." I'm trying to use my connections I've built up to get directors, casting directors, actors, and so on as judges."
This move came from a sense of mission rather than profit. CEO Wang, who is planning the project at his own expense, said, "I'm not trying to do a charity business," adding, "I just want to tell you the skills and know-how I've learned in the field."
His colleagues are also supporting Wang's sincerity. Actors Lim Won-hee and Yoon Hae-young of Zenstars claim to be the spiritual support of the academy. CEO Wang said, "Yoon Hae-young often comes to the academy and cares about the students. Im Won-hee also comes often and buys me a meal. Everyone thinks of their juniors a lot," he said, expressing his gratitude.
The role of Wang's dream acting academy is clear. It is a space that helps become the most basic and reliable setting for becoming an actor. He said, "You have to enter a company to be a good actor. To enter a company, you need to be ready to become an actor who shows promise. However, there is no place to set up for this, he said. "Only when a place like a footboard is created can the person go the way of acting correctly without giving up."
Finally, Wang gave a confident invitation with bone advice to aspiring actors who were lost and wandering.
"Acting doesn't just work hard, but you have to work hard with a way to do it well. But there are a lot of people who don't know how to do it well and think, "Is this the right way?" I want to remind you of that. Of course, giving up doesn't mean you failed. But it's a shame if you give up without learning properly. If you want to find a way to act that suits you a little more, you can come to Wang Acting Academy here."
