Nam Seong-jin ♥ Kim Ji-young, reveal 19-year-old son aspiring to be an actor 'Even if he's a fool, it's okay'

The studio buzzed when actor Nam Seong-jin revealed the appearance of his 19-year-old son. Not only does he possess handsome visuals that closely resemble his actor parents, but it was also revealed that the son is studying acting, drawing attention to the possibility of the birth of a "three-generation actor family."

On the 6th, Nam Seong-jin appeared on KBS 1TV's 'Morning Forum' alongside Kim Hee-jung, Lee Han-wi, and Kang Kyung-hun to share stories about his family and acting life. The four are working together in the KBS 1TV daily drama 'Mom Has Gone Crazy.'

Nam Seong-jin is the son of the late actor Nam Il-woo and Kim Yong-rim. Having married Kim Ji-young in 2004, he has a son, Nam Gyeong-mok, who turned 19 this year. In today's broadcast, attention was focused as photos of his son, who had not been widely known publicly before, appeared.

In the photos, Nam Gyeong-mok drew admiration from the cast with his tall stature and warm visuals. When the MC praised him, saying he seems better looking than his father, Nam Seong-jin joked, "It's a relief he is better. What would I have done if he looked just like me?" He then boasted about his son's height, saying, "He is tall. He is much taller than me."

What was even more interesting was the son's career path. When the MC mentioned the lineage of the acting family, which continues from grandfather Nam Il-woo, grandmother Kim Yong-rim, to father Nam Seong-jin, Nam Seong-jin revealed, "My son also wants to study acting." However, he took a cautious stance, saying he does not yet know if he will actually become an actor.

For Nam Seong-jin, following in his parents' footsteps to become an actor held a special meaning. As both of his parents were actors, he shared that his mother, Kim Yong-rim, is particularly happy whenever he is cast in a work, and as he gets older, she seems to feel proud watching her son perform various roles.

He also shared childhood memories of his mother. Nam Seong-jin recalled remembering Kim Yong-rim not so much as a 'superstar' but as a 'superwoman,' reminiscing how his mother, who balanced living with a large family and filming, used to pack lunch boxes for him personally. He shared that even after staying up all night due to filming and returning home at dawn, she would prepare lunch boxes for her son who had to go to school.

Having grown up receiving such parental love, Nam Gyeong-mok is now 19 years old. Although it has not yet been decided whether he will become an actor, as the fact that he has already started studying acting was revealed, attention is focused on whether the lineage of the acting family, which has continued from Nam Il-woo and Kim Yong-rim to Nam Seong-jin and Kim Ji-young, will continue once again in the future.
