Kai Ko Celebrates His 34th Birthday Feeling Unhappy, Reveals Being Replaced Often and the Harsh Realities of the Entertainment Industry

Kai Ko celebrated his 34th birthday yesterday, sharing his heartfelt thoughts on social media. Reflecting on the past years, he exclaimed, “I’m so glad you’ve worked hard for 34 years… But this year, you’re still unhappy! Are you someone who belongs to happiness?! … Yes! I am very happy!” He ended with a message to his fans, “I really like all of you! Please continue to like me too!”

In addition, a few days ago, an amateur actor shared on social media that after auditioning for a role, the director personally responded with ‘see you on set.’ Unexpectedly, the actor later found out that the crew had reopened auditions for the role he was initially chosen for, leaving him stunned and disappointed.

This unexpectedly drew a comment from Kai Ko offering encouragement. He said, “Hang in there! I also often get replaced for roles, some I really, really wanted but didn’t get due to various reasons, which made me feel frustrated… But maybe those roles just weren’t meant for me!” He went on to comfort the actor, saying, “Give yourself time and space to feel sad or disappointed! Even feeling jealous while watching that show become a hit is reasonable! But you have to bounce back! Always believe that your day will eventually come.”
