Actor Namgoong-min spoke about 'Stove League' Season 2.
Namgoong-min recently appeared in a commentary video posted on the YouTube channel 'SBS' and directly reviewed the drama 'Stove League' and 'One Thousand Won Lawyer.'
At the end of the video, in response to the production team's question asking him to say a word to the fans waiting for Season 2 of 'Stove League', Namgoong-min humorously replied, 'Give up.'
He added, 'Well, if we do well someday, it might be possible. Please wait for the day when Director General Baek Seung-soo returns,' leaving some room for possibility, but he refrained from commenting on the realistic production potential.
'Stove League' is a representative drama of SBS that ended in February 2020, depicting the process of a Director General managing a perennial bottom-ranking baseball team to reform it. It recorded a high viewership rating of 19.1% and has seen continuous requests from fans for Season 2.
However, writer Lee Shin-hwa has shown a cautious stance toward the production of Season 2, stating in a press conference held after the conclusion, 'I have a few ideas, but I don't have the confidence to fill a 16-episode season.' He mentioned, 'I don't want to hear the words, 'I shouldn't have come back,' and added that it could be possible to challenge again when ideas overflow.
Meanwhile, Namgoong-min is meeting viewers as a filmmaker dreaming of a comeback in the new SBS drama 'Our Movie.'
