[K-MUSICAL] Ice Americano Man: Kim Soo-yong, Musical Actor

 

A man in love with an iced Americano. Kim Soo-yong (Sports Dong-A DB)

The weather in Seoul got hotter.
Early summer weather is continuing.
When the weather gets hot, the drinks in people's hands change.
A hot drink turns into a cold drink.
At Starbucks, sales of iced Americano also rise.
There is a musical actor that comes to mind when I see Iced Americano.
It is Kim Soo-yong.
Kim Soo-yong is accompanied by two famous tags.
One is that he was a child actor.
He gained national popularity for his role as Young-gu in the MBC drama 'GAN NANE' in 1984.
The second is that he has an incredibly strong vocal cord.
Fellow actor Lee Seok-joon once evaluated Kim Soo-yong as having a titanium vocal cords.
Kim Soo-yong makes a high-pitched sound like steel, but his vocal cords are strong, so he never loses his voice.
Of course, Kim said, "Not at all."
But people all know.
That Kim Soo-yong is a great crybaby.
There's another thing unique about him.
It's that he's a great ice americano maniac.
In Korea, there is a saying called 'UL JOOKA'.
This means people who want to drink iced Americano even if they freeze to death.
UL JOOKAs drink iced Americano that is cold enough to make their teeth ache even in winter.
Kim Soo-yong must also be one of UL JOOKA.
I once interviewed Kim Soo-yong at a cafe in winter.
It was very cold that day and I ordered hot coffee.
However, Kim ordered an iced Americano that looked cold.
I asked why he ordered iced Americano.
"I have a lot of fever," he said.
For him, iced Americano may be a tool to cool down the heated titanium vocal cords.
The season for iced Americano has begun.
I often imagine Kim Soo-yong becoming a model for Starbucks someday.
In the commercial, he must have an iced Americano cup in his right hand.
