Kim Jae-won urges fans to avoid power struggles and whining

Actor Kim Jae-won has called for mutual respect after experiencing embarrassing situations during stage greetings for his film 'Final Interview,' which was released on the 4th. While acknowledging fan disappointment when he cannot greet everyone, he requested that audiences avoid unnecessary power struggles or whining during these meetings.

Actor Kim Jae-won has expressed his honest feelings after experiencing moments of embarrassment caused by the attitudes of some fans during stage greetings for his film. While he strives to do his best for fans every time, he noted that depending on the situation, he is not always able to greet everyone. While attempting to understand their disappointment, he drew a line against unnecessary power struggles and whining, requesting mutual consideration.

Recently, Kim Jae-won left a long message for fans via a fan communication platform. He candidly shared the embarrassing situations he encountered and his subsequent feelings while meeting audiences directly through stage greetings for the film 'Final Interview.' Although these are special occasions for close communication with fans, he also explained the reality that it is difficult to respond to every fan in the same way.

“I try to do my best every time. In that process, for various reasons and due to the situation, I miss some people, and it is embarrassing when they are blunt or annoyed when I do,” Kim revealed. He expressed that while it is possible to fail to greet some fans due to the circumstances or time constraints at a stage greeting site, it is disconcerting when such instances result in unpleasant reactions.

He added, “I can also choose not to greet those people. But even then, I stay bright because I believe and choose to think that they aren't acting that way out of malice, but rather because they are flustered and disappointed by not receiving a greeting.” He explained that rather than simply accepting the blunt attitude of some fans as rudeness, he tries to understand it as a momentary expression of disappointment from not being greeted. This highlights Kim's consideration in attempting to empathize with the fans' positions while maintaining a bright attitude even in uncomfortable situations.

At the same time, he did not forget to thank the fans who treated him warmly. “There are many more Agangdan who treated me well, and I am grateful,” Kim said, expressing gratitude for the affection and support sent by the majority of fans. Although he felt regret due to the actions of some fans, he emphasized that there are far more fans who support and consider him, showing affection for the entire fandom.

However, Kim made it clear that mutual respect is necessary between fans and actors. “Let’s be a little considerate and do our best for each other,” he urged, adding, “No matter what bad behavior occurs, it doesn't really affect me. So, rather than unnecessary power struggles or whining, let's meet each other happily.” His message suggests that, separate from his desire to understand fans' disappointment, he wishes to continue joyful and positive meetings rather than emotional confrontations or behaviors that make others uncomfortable.

Kim Jae-won is currently meeting audiences while carrying out the stage greeting schedule for the recently released film 'Final Interview.' Stage greetings hold special meaning for fans as they are venues where actors and audiences communicate directly through a work. However, because it is not easy to respond to all audience members in the same manner within limited time and site conditions, conflicts can arise between fan service expectations and reality.

Situations where some fans express dissatisfaction or demand excessive fan service when they do not receive the response they desire can also act as a burden to actors. Through this post, Kim Jae-won conveyed that while he understands the disappointment of fans, a relationship based on mutual consideration is necessary rather than one-sided expectations or emotional confrontation.

'Final Interview,' which was released on the 4th, is a work depicting a story where six applicants gathered at a final interview site fall into suspicion and confusion after discovering mysterious envelopes containing their respective revelations. Attention is also gathering regarding the honest message Kim Jae-won delivered at the stage greeting site while meeting audiences through the film.
