To celebrate actor Kim Nam-gil’s birthday, a fan has made a remarkable donation to the independent film auditorium, IndiSpace. On March 13, 2025, the fan contributed 2 million won to honor Kim Nam-gil and to shine a light on the value of independent films through his influence. This contribution also commemorates Kim’s achievements in the K-drama industry and looks forward to the success of his upcoming Netflix original, ‘Trigger.’
Established in 2007, IndiSpace is South Korea’s first private cinema dedicated to independent films. Their ‘Sharing Seats Donation’ program, which engraves donor names onto cinema seats for contributions over 2 million won, aims to promote such films consistently. Celebrating this occasion, IndiSpace plans to host a screening of the short film ‘How to Open a Door’ (2024), which Kim Nam-gil helped produce.
This act of generosity from Kim’s fan showcases a move beyond mere fandom to providing substantial support to the cultural arts community. It emphasizes Kim’s widespread impact and the significant role of his supporters, potentially encouraging more individuals to contribute to independent cinema.
