Ma Dong-seok has been getting a lot of attention from the media in the last few years. While his work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has certainly helped get his name out there, it was his iconic series,The Roundup, that helped his face get recognized. While this was the case in Western cultures, he has been a respected member of the South Korean film industry for decades.
Being one of the most talented and respected actors from there, it is not surprising that he is strong-willed and lives up to his title of the ‘Korean Superman’. It would seem that these traits were truly tested when he had to survive a true natural catastrophe.
Ma Dong-seok Was a Part of Something Horrific
Ma Dong-seokhas become the talk of the town with the upcoming release of the third part inThe Roundupseries,The Roundup: Punishment. With the film set to release on April 24, the actor recently gave an interview withAsiaOne, a rare occurrence for him. Here, he touched on many different aspects of his life.
He started by revealing how he did not like to come to South Korea often due to several instances of ‘bad luck’. Taking an example, he revealed that once, when he was working on a project there, something horrible happened to him.

“I got into an accident while working as an actor in South Korea,”he explained.“While filming overseas, a building collapsed and I fell six metres down, breaking two vertebrae, my breastbone, an ankle, and half of my Achilles tendon.”
He was involved in a building collapse that resulted in him falling from a height of six meters. Considering how this was not a short distance, he did sustain some injuries, shattering two vertebrae, his breastbone, and one of his ankles, and hurting half of his Achilles tendon. However, he did admit that the damage could have been a lot worse. He credited dodging more injuries due to his ‘strong bones’.
EternalsWasn’t The Best Example Of Ma Dong-seok’s Skills
Eternalshas gone down as one of the worst films to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was criticized for many things, including pacing, too many characters, CGI, and even the villains. While this fact has been accepted by the fandom, it is important to note that the cast did not have anything to do with the movie’s failure, being full of some of the most talented people in the world.
WithMa Dong-seok being among them, it is important to remember that he is one of the most respected, talented, and successful actors in South Korea; a country that is known for creating excellent films. On top of the iconicRoundupfilms, he was an important part of the massively successful 2016 film,Train to Busan.
