Nam Yoon Su, the lead actor in TVING’s upcoming LGBTQ+ drama Love in the Big City, addressed criticism with a calm and positive outlook during a press conference held on October 16th at CGV Yongsan I’Park Mall in Seoul.
Love in the Big City features Nam Yoon Su portraying a character navigating love through different relationships in his twenties and thirties. Discussing his role, Nam shared his approach: “I thought a lot about how to show love for a friend, a mother, and a lover. Since the drama shows ordinary, everyday love, I approached it thinking, ‘It may not be a special kind of love, but let me try to portray my own version of it. The way I’ve experienced love in my life is how Ko Young would have loved.'”
When asked about the backlash from some viewers regarding the drama’s LGBTQ+ themes, Nam remained unfazed. “Honestly, I didn’t really care about that stuff. If I get hate comments, I just laugh them off. But those comments are from maybe one in a hundred people. In fact, there’s been a lot more support than criticism,” he said.
He continued, “I’ve really felt like things are changing lately, and it feels like we’re opening up new paths to move forward. Even I’ve gotten emotional thinking about how much more open-minded our society has become. I trusted the director and writer completely when I took on this project.”
