Wouldn&#8217;t it be better if it ended early?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> He smiled and explained that, even with an intermission, the event ran about 5 hours and 10\u2014maybe 15\u2014minutes, which is shorter than when they held it without a break. &#8220;That probably prompted the talk about an early ending,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p> Kim noted the fan meeting had originally been planned for 2 hours and 30 minutes, and quipped that some attendees seem more interested in timing the event than enjoying it. &#8220;I hope people come to have fun with us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Whether it&#8217;s 1 hour, 2 hours, or an all-night event, if everyone feels pressured by the clock, we won&#8217;t be able to do this again.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> He closed by urging fans not to be bound by the clock and reassured them, &#8220;We&#8217;re not aiming for 6 hours.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, on the 28th of last month, Kim Nam-gil held &#8216;G.I.L,&#8217; a roughly 5-hour fan meeting at KBS Arena that drew widespread attention. <\/p>\n<p> [Sports Today reporter Lim Si-ryeong <span><font color=\"blue\">ent@stoo.com<\/font><\/span>]<br \/>\u300cThe closest, most FunFun news \u24d2 Sports Today\u300d   <\/p>\n<div class=\"byeline\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- view_related --><!-- view_related\/\/ --><!-- \ubc14\uc774\ub77c\uc778 \ud558\ub2e8 2\uc904 \ud558\uc774\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8 --><!-- \ubc14\uc774\ub77c\uc778 \ud558\ub2e8 \ud558\uc774\ub77c\uc774\ud2b8 --><!-- next_article\/\/ --><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Kim Nam-gil clarified rumors about his fan meeting ending early, emphasizing enjoyment over duration.
