On January 11, rapper Swings shared a video of himself taking acting lessons at an acting academy. In the video, he performed a scene from the film “Burning” (2018), directed by Lee Chang-dong.
The day before, January 10, he had published: “I actually started attending an acting academy a month ago and lately I’ve been doing it every day. It’s so funny,” and added, “I will post from time to time. I would appreciate it if you could watch it from time to time. (Here’s a teaser for today).”
In the video, Swings is seen seriously analyzing a scene from “Burning” and sharing his thoughts about it. He then reuploaded the post titled, “Swings enrolled in drama school after missing out on ‘Squid Game 2’ casting” and clarified, “I’m really grateful, but I actually started acting a month ago. It’s not that urgent anyway.”
Recently, “Squid Game 2” director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he considered casting rapper Swings as Thanos, but ultimately decided against it, citing concerns about his ability to acting.
This led some netizens to speculate that Swings’ enrollment in acting school was somehow connected to the casting for “Squid Game 2.”
After watching Swings’ acting rehearsals, netizens responded with comments like “The actor’s mentality is fantastic,” “He can do anything” “Let’s go to Hollywood,” AND “We’re rooting for you.”
