Actor Son Bo Seung, the son of veteran comedian Lee Kyeong Shil, is earning praise for his powerful performance in the Netflix original series 'Trigger.'
Playing the role of a school bullying victim, Son Bo Seung’s intense and emotional portrayal has caught viewers' attention, especially as the identity of the actor was revealed.
On July 27, Lee Kyeong Shil shared a clip from 'Trigger' on social media and wrote, "Bo Seung appears in Netflix's ‘Trigger’ from Episode 2 to 7. He’s featured quite a lot!"
In the released footage, Son Bo Seung portrays a student silently enduring school violence and later taking matters into his own hands through an emotionally charged revenge arc. His performance struck a chord with audiences.
Online reactions included comments such as:
"Wow, Bo Seung is actually a great actor."
"Didn’t realize he was Lee Kyeong Shil’s son. I thought he was just a talented rookie."

Son Bo Seung has been gradually building his acting career while being known as the son of a well-known comedian. Although he and Lee Kyeong Shil were estranged for a year following his marriage and out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the two later reconciled. Their relationship and daily lives were shared on the TV CHOSUN program 'Chosun’s Real Romantic.'
Son Bo Seung began his mandatory military service on June 4. Prior to enlisting, he expressed a practical outlook on military life, saying, "It’s something you have to do anyway. These days, the savings plans during service are great. I heard you can save 550,000 KRW (approx. $425) per month, and with government support, you come out with over 20 million KRW (approx. $15,500). I can even repay my mom."
As 'Trigger' gains attention on Netflix, Son Bo Seung’s raw and compelling performance continues to stand out. Viewers are looking forward to seeing more from him in the future.
