Actor Kim Nam-gil's "Universe's Strongest Show" is back again.

On the 1st, cultural and arts NGO Gil Story announced that it will hold the "2026 Universe's Strongest Show 〈Gilliversal Studio〉" at the Seoul Kyung Hee University Peace Hall on November 28 at 4 p.m. General ticket sales begin at 8 p.m. on the same day via Ticketlink.

"Universe's Strongest Show" is a charity performance created by Kim Nam-gil and fellow artists with the purpose of "enjoying the show while making a donation." Since its debut in 2019, the show has donated its proceeds to public interest campaigns, continuing to share with audiences. This year marks the sixth edition of the performance.

This year's show will be themed around "Gilliversal Studio (GILIVERSAL STUDIOS)." Through a stage where audiences meet various artists and share their stories, much like enjoying attractions at a theme park, the show aims to deliver laughter and moving moments.

In addition to Kim Nam-gil, actors Jeon Bae-su, Park Sung-woong, Ha Jung-woo, Park Ji-hwan, Kim Seong-gyun, Yoon Kyung-ho, Choi Young-jun, Kim Jun-han, Lee Shin-gi, Lee Yu-mi, and Nam Da-reum will participate in the talent donation. Singers Muzie, Jo Jae-dee, Ahn Shin-ae, Urban Zakapa, musical actors Cha Ji-yeon, Shin Sung-rok, and Kang Hong-seok, as well as Kinky Boots Angel and Bang Song-in (황제) Seong-do, are also expected to join. The stages presented by artists from diverse fields such as film, drama, music, and musicals will be the highlight of this performance.

The funds raised from this year's show proceeds will be used for campaigns such as ▲ "Hamkke Nageul" (Together on the Path), a support campaign for creators who are young adults preparing for independence, and ▲ "Deundeunhan Haru" (A Solid Day), a campaign to support the daily recovery of children and adolescents in crisis. Through this, the show plans to help with the creative activities and growth of independent-preparation youth creators, as well as support the daily recovery and cultural/arts activities of children and adolescents in crisis.

"Universe's Strongest Show" has donated its proceeds, generated through audience participation since its first performance, to various public interest campaigns. In 2019, tickets sold out within three minutes of opening, allowing the show to be held with approximately 4,000 audience members, and the proceeds were used to support a public art campaign. The proceeds from the 2022 performance were donated to the "Mal Dongmu" (Horse Companion) campaign for raising awareness of animal rights and treating/protecting abused animals, supporting the rescue, treatment, and protection of retired Gyeongju horses.

In 2024, approximately 7,500 audience members participated in the show over two days. The proceeds at that time served as a seed fund to sustain the "Deundeunhan Haru" campaign supporting children and adolescents in crisis for two years. The proceeds from last year's performance, themed around "Year-End Tax Settlement," were used this year through the "Hamkke Nageul" campaign to support the creative activities of 10 independent-preparation youth writers.

Kim Nam-gil, who is both a cultural and arts NGO Gil Seu-to-ri (CEO) and an actor, stated, "The most meaningful thing is that the time spent laughing and enjoying together at 'Universe's Strongest Show' has helped protect someone's daily life and continue their dreams." He added, "Thanks to my colleagues who have willingly shared their talents every time and the audience members who filled the seats, we have been able to continue this sharing." He further expressed, "I hope you can laugh and enjoy freely at this year's 'Gilliversal Studio' as well. I will make sure that the hearts you send become a strength supporting the challenges of independent-preparation youth creators and the daily lives of children in need."
