Kim Nam-gil won the 'The Best Casting Actor Award' category. The 'Korean PD Awards Ceremony' is an award ceremony hosted by the Korean PD Association and it is very meaningful to select and award producers and broadcasters who have contributed to the development of free media and social culture personally selected and awarded from the eyes of producers.

Kim Nam-gil played the part of a fiery, but just priest named Kim Hae-il in SBS' "The Fiery Priest", which was broadcasted from February to April last year. His acting skills crossed the genres of comedy and action, and he was named the winner of the year as he was praised for his excellent immersion, good delivery of lines and perfecting his character.

Including the SBS Grand Prize, Kim Nam-gil took home 8 awards in 2019 and became known as the 'Greatest Actor in the Universe'. He has proved his still-hot popularity and influence by winning nine gold medals through the Korean PD Grand Prize in the actors' category.

As for his speech, Kim Nam-gil said, "I was given so much love for "The Fiery Priest" last year and I thank everyone for not forgetting me and giving me another award like this. Last year, the camera directors gave me an award saying it was a 'gift' and this award means a lot to me because it's from producers who work hard along with everyone else on the site. I hope all producers who are pressured by the agony of creation of new contents are healthy and happy. I will work hard to become an actor who is able to receive any kind of direction".

Meanwhile, Kim Nam-gil is done filming Jung Woo-sung's film "A Man of Reason" and is currently confirmed to star in "Emergency Declaration".
