Actor Kim Nam-gil is drawing intense attention for the story behind his rejection of 'True Education,' while also making headlines with news of his recent efforts to spread positive influence alongside Professor Seo Kyung-deok Seong Sin-yeo-dae (Prof.).

According to Seo Gyeong-deok (Prof.)team on the 10th, Kim Nam-gil recently joined forces with Professor Seo to produce a multi-language video titled "One Voice, One Korea: 100th Anniversary of the June 10 Independence Movement."

The four-minute video was co-produced with the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs and was released on the 10th via a YouTube channel. It has been published in both Korean and English and is widely spreading among netizens both domestically and internationally.

The main content of the video introduces the June 10 Independence Movement, which erupted on June 10, 1926, on the occasion of Emperor Sunjong's funeral, as a national uprising that rekindled the fire of the independence movement that had been stagnating.

It highlights that the movement was not merely an anti-Japanese protest but demonstrated the values of 'unity and solidarity,' marking a historic turning point that led to subsequent independence movements such as the Gwangju Student Independence Movement and the founding of the Shinhanhoe.

Professor Seo stated, "I wanted to widely publicize the June 10 Independence Movement, in which various classes and organizations, including students, united their strength for independence amidst Japan's deceptive cultural rule." He added, "Especially, I wanted to re-examine the solidarity and community spirit shown by the patriots of that time and present the true values that our society today must inherit."

Kim Nam-gil, who provided the Korean narration, expressed his feelings, saying, "I am happy to convey the history of the June 10 Independence Movement through my voice. I hope many netizens at home and abroad will watch it."

Meanwhile, the OTT Netflix original series 'True Education' was released on the 5th and is receiving global love, with the story of Kim Nam-gil's rejection being re-examined. Originally, Kim Nam-gil was offered the role of the protagonist Na Hwa-jin, but he made headlines by directly expressing his refusal on social media. Ultimately, Kim Mu-yeol portrayed Na Hwa-jin.
