”SHINHWA” Kim Dong Wan tries to calm down his refusal to appear on variety shows, saying, ”Don't take it as being insolent”

On the 14th, Kim Dong-wan, an actor and member of the group "SHINHWA," posted on his SNS, "'I still want to leave,' I have received many comments about my refusal to appear on variety shows."
He wrote, "Even now, some of my colleagues are working part-time jobs or doing delivery work and dreaming of becoming actors.
There are many people who do this. A film producer I know apparently drives around on his days off. He said he always keeps an eye on his wife's reaction," he said, referring to the practical difficulties he faces.
She continued, "The reason I casually said, 'I don't want to be offered to appear on variety shows' is because I'm 'comfortable'," and "If I say that again and show off my light talent,
You end up receiving a lot of money. As you do this, you start to feel comfortable, and the moment you step away from your main job, you forget how you did it."
Kim Dong Wan said, "During the pandemic, I missed out on a lot of things because I wasn't vaccinated. But the moment I realized that I was standing as a celebrity again through the TV series, I felt at ease."
"I received a lot of proposals, but I'm a solo artist, so I thought it was time for me to make a decision," he said, explaining the situation at the time. "Looking back, I think the approach was wrong.
There are people lining up to appear on the show, but what I said may have sounded presumptuous," he said. "To my friends who dream of becoming actors and singers, please don't misunderstand."
He also sent a message of encouragement to his juniors, saying, "Do whatever you can. Prepare while doing whatever you can. When you feel like giving up, that's when your chance will come."
Earlier on the 4th, Kim Dong Wan wrote on social media, "I don't want to receive any more offers to appear on variety shows. I don't have the confidence to make people laugh, and I don't want to reveal my true story to the public."
He posted a message refusing to appear on variety shows, which became a hot topic. At the time, he said, "Talking about the past only leaves scars on me," and "I can't live a quiet life pretending to be happy and successful."
When asked by a netizen what genre of show he wanted, Kim Dong-wan replied, "I've worked hard and gotten results, like in stage plays, TV series, and home shopping."
"No," he answered.
