Shocking dedication: Actor Kim Nam-gil proved his unmatched love for fans with a marathon fan meeting that ran for over five hours.
On the 28th, Kim met fans at the KBS Arena in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, for the ‘2026 Fan Meeting G.I.L (Gil)’. Originally set for three hours, the show stretched past the five-hour mark and swelled to concert-level scale.
He opened with DAY6’s hit ‘Time of Our Life’, then unveiled his new song ‘Heading to You’ live for the first time. Performing more than 20 tracks, Kim amped up the crowd with high-energy moments, even dashing through the aisles to connect with fans up close.
The fan interaction didn’t stop. In a segment to choose a fandom nickname, “Guys” was selected in the end to loud cheers, and during a filmography talk, he playfully revisited his works to keep the energy soaring. An unplanned sound-check event and an impromptu song gift turned the evening into something truly special.
Notably, following last year’s five-hour-and-42-minute show, Kim once again delivered a set exceeding five hours, living up to his reputation as a big talker. Near the end, he said, “Thank you for always being on my side,” adding, “I’ll be an actor you can be proud of,” moving fans to tears.
Previously, on the web variety show Just an excuse, he appeared with Ju Ji-hoon and Yoon Kyung-ho, joking about his famously long fan meetings.
Up next, Kim will meet global fans at fan meetings in Osaka and Tokyo, Japan, this April.
