The recent status of the elderly actor Nampo-dong, who has been living in a motel for 10 years, has been released.
Recently, on the YouTube channel ‘Recent Olympiad’, a video titled ‘I went to the motel room for the recent status of the legendary movie star’ was uploaded.
On this day, the production team asked Nampo-dong, “Is there any difficulty in living in a motel?” and said, “There are many people who will give you a single room.” They said, “I have lived in a studio for a long time. “It’s better to live in a place where you can cook food, such as a sink. It’s really good to live alone. It’s only been 10 years.”
Nampo-dong said, “There are a lot of people who are worried, but everything is fine.” “I get calls often, but it’s okay. I’m worried, ‘Is Nampo-dong, who was good in the old days, living in a motel?’ But I’m comfortable. There’s no discomfort.”
He continued, “The children are worried, but it’s okay because I’m comfortable. Can’t I get a room?”
Nampo-dong confided, “At first, they looked at me strangely as I went in and out, but someone thought I was the motel boss.”
Regarding the economic solution, Nampo-dong said, “There is no problem with eating and living. The state also gives subsidies because they are old. That is enough to make a living. I eat rice and drink soju and live well.”
Next, Nampo-dong said, “Once I went to a business, they gave me land in lieu of a performance fee. I don’t know where the money went. In fact, my family went bankrupt in 2000. From then on, I only drank alcohol every day.” It’s been 11 years since I was diagnosed with cancer, so I went to the Philippines to live a quiet life because I thought it was impossible. I tried to end my life there. I even took my passport to run away, but my family caught me and went to the hospital. I had a liver transplant,” he said.
Nampo-dong said, “Now, I’m living 11 more years as a bonus. I feel like I’m living as a bonus. I’m grateful just to be alive. I’ve felt that way a few times, so I don’t have the excitement of dying or living. I don’t know when I’ll go, but I’m doing well now. ‘ he said sternly.
Meanwhile, Nampo-dong worked as a licorice artist in the 1970s and 1990s to take on various comic performances in plays and movies.
