77 year old actor Oh Yeong-Su is slowly processing his newfound fame after appearing on Squid Game.
“I feel like I’m floating on air. It makes me think, ‘I need to calm down, organize my thoughts, and hold myself back right now,’” Yeong-su said. “So many people have been contacting me, and because I don’t have a manager to help me, it’s hard for me to handle the volume of calls and messages I’ve been receiving, so my daughter has been helping me.”
“Things have changed quite a bit. Even when I go out to a cafe or somewhere like that, I now have to be aware of (how I appear to others). It’s made me think, ‘Being famous is tough, too’.”
He’s said he’s not interested in becoming more famous. “I don’t have any grand ambitions. Big or small, I’ve received a lot of things while living my life,” he continued. “Now, I want to leave behind those things that I’ve received. To put it simply, let’s say you go to a mountain and see a flower. When we’re young, we pick the flower and take it for ourselves.
“But by the time you reach my age, you leave it there exactly as it is, and you go back to see it again later on. It’s the same with life. Leaving things exactly the way they are. It isn’t easy.”
Some great advice from what sounds like a wise man!
