2. career
June 10th, 1944, Lunar Calendar , Jeonnam Gwangju Unified Special City Born in Yeosu City ,[8] Yongmun High School[9] Myongji University I was enrolled in the Department of English Language and Literature.[10] He debuted in the 5th KBS open recruitment in 1965 .
Baek Il-seop (46 seconds - 1 minute 10 seconds) appeared in Daehan News No. 721 in April 1969, at the beginning of his debut . During the early days of President Park Chung-hee , he was one of the few celebrities invited to the Blue House.[11] It is said that when President Park Chung-hee found out that Baek Il-seop was from Yeosu, he showed him a bird's eye view of the Yeosu National Industrial Complex and explained that it was planned to be built in the future. Also, it was a time when tangerines were rare, and I enjoyed eating tangerines so much that Mrs. Yuk Young-soo brought some tangerines for me when I left.
On November 10, 2020, he appeared on MBC Every1 Video Star and revealed his biography in detail. The matters described below in the link were also described based on comments made at the time of Video Star and other articles written.
In 1969 , he was offered a transfer to TBC , but during this process , he faced opposition from existing TBC talent recruiters. At that time, MBC proposed a transfer to Baek Il-seop in line with the launch of the TV channel.[12] Eventually, Baek Il-seop moved to MBC and appeared in MBC's TV drama <Lovers in the Sun>.[13] Although he was successful at MBC for several years, he fell into celebrity disease , which started after a minor misunderstanding with a producer.[14] We got into an argument, and I threw the script in front of the producer, saying I couldn't do it even though we were filming the next day. And after that, MBC drama casting itself was cut off. (He always talks about this time as the time he regrets the most. The story of Baek Il-seop's virtual expulsion from MBC → 900 million won in debt... "I regret it the most." ) As a result, he left MBC in 1973 and finally moved to TBC , and played an active role at TBC until the media merger and abolition in 1980 (by the new military government) . Of course, he also appeared in movies during that period.
After TBC disappears, he actively works (as a freelancer ) between KBS and SBS.[15] However, considering the status of MBC, which was called the drama kingdom at the time, the blow of not being able to appear in MBC dramas was significant. In particular, the production team of MBC's weekend soap opera Son and Daughter , which appeared in 1992-93, tried to cast Baek Il-seop without knowing the details of the situation, but it is said that they had a lot of concerns because the PD with whom they had a fight in the past was the drama production director. Eventually, as time passed, Baek Il-seop went to see him and asked for forgiveness, and the production director accepted, so he was able to appear in an MBC drama for the first time in a long time. And the son and daughter hit their second heyday with a huge hit . In this drama , "Hongdo, don't cry! Ah, the handwriting! Oppa, it's good." It received a lot of attention, giving rise to many buzzwords.[16] Afterwards, thanks to his good-natured appearance, he played many roles as kind-hearted and slightly scolded seniors from the working class.
In 1993, he released Baek Il-seop's medley, which included the catchphrase "Ah writing." #
But in fact, when this guy was young, he was originally a powerful meat-eating macho guy like Kim Hee-ra . She has been advertising Ursa for 9 years. The famous line from the Ursa commercial at the time was, “Hehe, it’s a bear.” (laughter) When she appeared in movies at a young age, if you look at her topless photos, her forearms and muscles are bulging.

He also played the role of a villain or a gangster, and Donghyuk in the 1974 movie ' Hometown of the Stars ' was the representative character, stalking the female protagonist , harassing her, and driving her to destruction.[17] In particular, there were many scenes where women were assaulted. It's not just a slap in the face, it's a real beating with hands and feet without mercy. Unlike his current generous appearance, he is fierce and quite scary. However, this is limited to young people, and the image changes from middle age. If the villain image had been strong, the advertisement wouldn't have lasted as long. In the KBS action drama <Grape Captain>, he played the role of a just grape captain who stands on the side of the weak, relieves injustice and punishes bullies, and in the KBS epic drama <Daemyung>, he played the role of a hero who serves the country like General Lim Gyeong-eop, and such macho, compassionate and just roles for a long time. In KBS's <Detective 25 Hours>, he took on the role of carrying out an investigation that was honest yet dependent on intuition, telling the whole story of the case and even pointing out the culprit.[18]
Perhaps because he is younger than expected, he played the role of the son of Kim Seong-gyeom , Byun Hee-bong, and Lee Soon-jae in dramas such as I Fell in Love with a Jujube Tree , The Sons of Sol Pharmacy , and Mom Is Angry. They are all less than 10 years older than Baek Il-seop.[19]

3. politics
Politically, in 1997 In the 15th presidential election , he actively supported Kim Dae-jung of the National New Politics Alliance for Democracy (see item ), but in 2007 In the 17th presidential election , the Grand National Party After supporting candidate Lee Myung-bak, when he was elected, he was inaugurated as a non-executive director of the Korea Tourism Organization . Democratic Party at the time Eunhye Yoo[20] According to the lawmaker, he was suspected of receiving an allowance of 70 million won without ever attending a meeting. Regarding this, he claimed that his monthly salary was only about 2 million won. He claimed that the reason he did not attend the meeting was because it overlapped with the recording of the broadcast, and that he tried to quit because he had nothing to do other than attend the meeting, but was not accepted. However, since November 2010, the fact that he has been receiving a steady salary even when he did not attend meetings is problematic. First of all, since both sides say something different, we will have to see later who is right.
At the time of the presidential election, there was a big controversy by supporting the MB and aimed at the candidate of the independent candidate. On November 13, 2007, at the GNP in Yeomchang -dong, Seoul, he criticized Lee Hoi -chang's departure and presidential election, saying, "If you meet with friends and work together, you will be hit." He then criticized Lee Hoi -chang without hesitation. In addition, he said, “As everyone has a fan, I am a fan of Lee Myung -bak, a candidate for Korean citizens since ancient times.” #

4. digression
- In the past, I ran a movie import business. The company he headed was Solfilm, which imported the Japanese animation AKIRA in 1990 and released it under the title ‘Storm Boy.’ However, the film business registration was canceled when it was later discovered that the film had passed the review process by passing it off as a Hong Kong film during the import process.
- From January 2001 to February of the following year, he served as a member of the Liberal Democratic Union .
- Seoil University from August 2001 to February 2002 He was an adjunct professor at the Department of Theater and Film .
- It is said that he has been separated from his wife since 2017 .[21] Additionally, during this process, he had a falling out with his daughter, who was mediating his relationship with his wife, and stopped contacting them. So, when I appeared on Salimnam, I was the only one in the family who was in contact with my son and his wife. As if he himself felt burdened by the spotlight on this situation, he even asked not to use the word " graduated marriage " at the production presentation for Salimnam Season 2.[22] Afterwards, his relationship with his daughter was restored to some extent through TV Chosun 's family entertainment show "Dad and Me" in 2024 .
- Perhaps because he is overweight, his back and knees are very bad, so he walks around with a cane . In Grandpas Over Flowers, during the Greek episode, he was unable to go alone to the Meteora Monastery where all the other cast members went due to health issues. According to the person who later served as a tour guide for the coordinator at the time of the Greek edition, he heard testimony that it was not only bad for the back, but also for the knees and heart.
- According to Lee Seo-jin in the Greek episode of Grandpas Over Flowers , Il-seop got very angry because he did not go on air during the European, Taiwanese, or Spanish episodes. If Ilseop, who is already as big as a bear, gets so angry, it would look scary. Throughout the Grandpas Over Flowers series, the grandpa that Seo-jin felt most uncomfortable with and treated with contempt was Il-seop, but when Choi Ji- woo came along as a porter in the Grease episode, his personality softened a lot, which made the filming atmosphere much better.
- It is said that he has four half-brothers. #
- The car is a white Cadillac Escalade .
- In May 1972, he was accused of hit-and-run after crashing into a taxi that was turning left while driving drunk and leaving without taking any action. #
- He is a classmate of singer Cho Young-nam and the 10th class of Yongmun High School . Baek Il-seop (born in 1944) is one year older than Jo Young-nam (born in 1945).[23]

[1] ○ Hwan (煥), ○ Seop (燮) Hangryeol[2] It has been separated since 2015.[3] Baek Il -seop's mother is said to be a daughter with a Japanese student before she married her father.[4] Baek Il -seop's father had four wives. It is said that the second wife was born by Lee Bok -nam, who is 10 years old, and three Lee Bok -yeo brother.[5] Current College of Fisheries and Oceans, Chonnam National University Yeosu Campus[6] 〈I report TV Quarter Class> 1999 May 17th Mentioned in the 31st Infantry Division . video[7] profile[8] My father is from Gyeongsang Province. His father worked in the trading business, and Baek Il-seop has a dark family history, to the extent that it is said that he had several half-siblings. When I was young and saying goodbye to my biological mother, I thought she was going somewhere for a while and said hello to her half-heartedly because she was playing in the yard, but it is said that there was a time when we didn't see each other again until I was in high school.[9] It is said that he enrolled in the fishery department of Yeosu Fisheries High School, but transferred to Gangmoon High School after completing his first year at the urging of his mother, who was living in Seoul. Although he was sad to leave, he said he had no regrets about his hometown. For reference, when Baek Il-seop was attending school, Gangmun High School was located in Changsin-dong, Jongno-gu.[10] It is said that the reason he majored in English literature was because he wanted to go to the United States and live later.[11] According to actor Kim Yong- gun, he was said to be the first celebrity, but it doesn't seem to be certain.[12] MBC was launched as a radio channel in 1961 and was launched only in 1969. Self -bond talents have been selected since 1969 ( Lim Hyun -sik , Cho Kyung -hwan , etc.).[13] Appeared with Kim Hye- ja and Park Geun-hyung .[14] It is said that there was a lot of resentment about pointing out Baek Il-seop's mistakes in the presence of his colleagues and juniors.[15] At the end of 1991, when SBS opened, the scope of activities expanded to SBS from then on.[16] Baek Il-seop said that he did not know the song itself, Hongdoya Ujimara, until Son and Daughter appeared. In the play , he recalled that he used a lot of ad-libs for buzzwords based on the lyrics of this song .[17] What unequivocally says this is that at the time of filming the Taiwanese version of Grandpas Over Flowers, Bul-Am Choi referred to him and said that if he hadn't become an actor, he would have become the boss and leader of the underworld. Of course, Choi Bool-am may have said it with a bit of seasoning, but it was just that great.[18] So, among the comments, there is a comment that says middle-aged detective Baek Joo-im .[19] However, it must be taken into account that the elderly people who play the roles in the drama are older than the actors below who played the roles of laborers in the drama.[20] Since then, the Moon Jae -in government He served as the Minister of Social Affairs and the Minister of Education .[21] It's not a real divorce, but it's only a couple on paper, so it can actually be called a twilight divorce .[22] The word "solhon" has been overused by broadcasters and the media, but Baek Il-seop himself has never used the word.[23] Cho Yeong-nam failed the entrance exams for Seoul National University High School and Daegwang High School , and entered Gangmun High School (now Yongmun High School) without an exam. Gangmungo was located in Changsin-dong at the time, but on April 30, 1964 , it moved to its current location in Anam-dong .
