Actor Kang Mal-geum shared her experience of making a special appearance in ‘You’ve Completely Fooled Me’. On the morning of the 27th, an interview was held with Kang Mal-geum, who appeared in the movie ‘Lobby’, at a cafe in Jongno-gu, Seoul. On this day, Kang Mal-geum said, “The amount of screen time didn’t matter.
I participated because it was a role that had high quality in the episode,” adding, “The script was really good.
Probably, many people in my age group could relate.
In the neighborhood where I lived as a child, there were ladies who could go from laughing to grabbing someone by the hair at any moment.
I thought I could do it enjoyably because it was a situation I knew well,” she explained as the reason for her participation.
Kang Mal-geum recently made a special appearance as Geum-ja, the owner of a lodge in Busan where the couple Ae-soon (IU) and Guan-sik (Park Bo-gum) had eloped in Act 1 of the Netflix series ‘You’ve Completely Fooled Me’, and became a scene-stealer with her audacious con-artist performance. She said, “There was a day during filming that I’ll never forget.
I couldn’t sleep a wink the night before filming a scene where I had to argue with actress Oh Min-ae,” adding, “I turned on the TV and the movie ‘The Shameless’ was starting.
Although I had already seen the movie, I saw senior actress Jeon Do-yeon again,” she shared a special episode. Kang Mal-geum stated, “Senior Jeon Do-yeon may not know me, but she’s always like a teacher to me.
Even with a lot of experience, she works incredibly hard,” adding, “So even though I couldn’t sleep, I told myself to stay focused and do my best, and I remember going to the set with that spirit,” she said. With the dual success of her special appearance in ‘You’ve Completely Fooled Me’ and the release of ‘Lobby’, Kang Mal-geum expressed her delight, saying, “I’m quite proud,” adding, “In ‘Lobby’, many actors with remarkable filmographies appear, and while I haven’t done much recently, I hoped to be of help, so I was grateful to hear many good things from those who watched ‘Fooled’.” Meanwhile, ‘Lobby’ tells the story of Chang-wook (Ha Jung-woo), a startup CEO who knows nothing but research, and his first attempt at lobbying golf to win a 4 trillion won national project.
In the movie, Kang Mal-geum plays Minister Jo, a corrupt official with decision-making power over business deals.
