Into the book
After becoming a voice actor at the young age of 22, I wished I could quickly reach my 30s.
I was driven by an impatience to somehow achieve what I wanted and grow quickly.
But being impatient didn't mean that an easy and quick path would appear.
There were things that had to happen, and times that had to be experienced.

--- From "Prologue_ Today, I am dyeing my life blue again"

When you live a repetitive and busy daily life, there are times when you feel drained and have a hard time.
Every time that happens, I think back to the days when I used to carry around a USB of voice samples.
Those three hours of waiting were never boring and everything was infinitely precious.
Those times that helped me grow in gratitude.
--- From "Introducing My Day from the Omniscient Nam Do-hyung's Perspective"

“Hello, voice actor.
[One Piece] This is PD ○○○ in charge.
“I’m thinking of auditioning for Sabo.” The moment the two words ‘Sabo audition’ rang in my ears, I almost screamed.
After an audition that you've been preparing for and waiting for for so long, you're bound to feel anxious and nervous until the results come out.
But the Sabo audition felt different.
(…) One day, while I was recording another piece, I received a KakaoTalk message.
It was a notification of acceptance.
I stopped recording and started crying out loud.
--- From "[One Piece] Sabo, You Were My Destiny!"

I have been looking for and monitoring all the works that have failed auditions so far.
It was to feel it fully.
I looked into how the cast voice actor acted, what I lacked compared to that voice actor, and what differences I had with him.
I decided to face the pain head on rather than avoid it.
It was after I had an epiphany that I started watching [Transformers] again.
Of course, it was heartbreaking, but after seeing the works, surprisingly, I began to see my own shortcomings.
(…) That’s how I realized how I should grow.
--- From "What I Learned from Failing an Audition"

The Korean dubbing of 'Mr. Beast' was an extreme schedule that required 100 videos to be completed in 17 days.
At that time, I went to a recording studio in Gangseo-gu and worked almost every day.
On days when I couldn't schedule a recording in the afternoon, I often started recording past 1 a.m. and finished just before dawn.
Those were truly white-hot times.

--- From "Becoming a Voice Actor for 'Mr. Beast' with 200 Million Subscribers"

After finishing my main job and coming to the studio, I would immediately dive into content planning without a moment's rest.
After organizing the plan and getting the outfits right, I was able to stand in front of the camera around midnight.
The recording continued until 2 or 3 in the morning, but the problem occurred after the recording ended.
One time, after filming hard, I checked the video and realized that there was no audio recording.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure out what mistake I made.
It was driving me crazy because the video was playing fine but I couldn't figure out why there was no sound.
Problems like this were commonplace.
Every time, I would stamp my feet and tear my hair out, blaming myself endlessly.

--- From "Voice actor by day, YouTuber by night"

I like blue for no reason and I realized something.
The point is that this principle applies to all areas of life.
What if I approached every task or person with the attitude I had of loving the color blue? I thought, "I can truly give my best."
--- From "Why I Like Blue"

Sometimes when I look at my entire schedule from Monday to Sunday to check my schedule, I worry and think, 'Can I do all this?'
Then, you will soon be able to let go of your worries and change your thinking.
(…) When I go to my first schedule, I only worry about that.
When I go to do the second schedule, I only focus on that.
The key is to break down what you're doing now and focus on just this moment.
When you focus on each moment, you focus on the whole thing, and you can focus on everything in your day.
--- From "The busier you are, the more you need to focus on the present moment"

Publisher's Review
■ “Nam Do-hyung, how did he become an idol in the voice acting world?”
The time Nam Do-hyung has accumulated while expanding his voice acting career infinitely.

When you think of the profession of voice actor, you usually think of the role of dubbing for movies or animations.
However, the schedule of Nam Do-hyung, who has recently been called the 'idol of the voice acting world' and has built a fandom, goes beyond the public's expectations.
He runs the YouTube channel 'Nam Do-hyung's Blue Club', plans and films his own content, and appears on various YouTube channels such as 'Ilsaep', 'Calm Man', and 'Unsuccessful Science'. He is also active as a voice actor for the Korean version of the world's number one YouTuber, 'Mist Beast'.
In addition to this, he becomes an MC for offline gaming events, interacting closely with the audience, and transforms into a home shopping show host, introducing products live.
So, author Nam Do-hyung defines his profession as a voice actor, “a profession that can involve everything that is done through words.”
He is a representative voice actor in Korea who has demonstrated unparalleled capabilities in various fields and is expanding the stage on which he should stand.


Starting in 2019, the YouTube channel 'Nam Do-hyung's Blue Club' became a hot topic with a video of himself playing the role of fitness coach 'Ring' on [Ring Fit Adventure], and surpassed 10,000 subscribers in just one week of its launch.
Since then, he has continued to provide fresh content that allows him to interact with his subscribers through works he has participated in, regardless of the field, including games and animation, and has grown his channel to 400,000 subscribers (as of April 2024).
In this book, he compares his life, which he has built fiercely at every moment, to his favorite color, 'blue', and reveals to readers for the first time his own world, which he has dyed blue.


■ “With every moment of fierceness and desperation, I finally found my own world.”
From youngest voice actor to voice actor, what I've learned through growing up

The author, who passed the KBS open voice actor recruitment in 2005 at the youngest age of 22, immediately garnered expectations from those around him with his unique, beautiful voice from the beginning.
Because of this, many people assume that his career has always been smooth sailing.
However, he asserts that he has not wasted a single day in the 19 years since he started his voice acting career.
There was a time when I carried around a USB of voice samples like a business card to find work, a time when I was shocked by failing auditions after becoming a freelancer, a time when I suffered from terrible tinnitus for 7 months, and a time when I started studying acting all over again by looking up works that I had failed to audition for.


It was the same after I became a YouTuber.
After finishing all my recording schedules and filming alone, it was around 2 or 3 in the morning.
During this period, which he called the 'Arduous March', he lost 11 kilograms in three months.
However, by handling the entire process on my own, I was able to see the work as a whole, and naturally, this became an opportunity to broaden my understanding of voice acting and the range of my acting skills.


One thing he realized while going through times that were never easy was that growth is never smooth.
“I was driven by an impatience to achieve what I wanted and grow quickly.
But being impatient didn't mean that an easy and quick path would appear.
“There were things I had to go through, and times I had to go through.” Through this book, he wants to talk about his own slow, but most certain and essential way of growing.


■ The joy of spreading positive energy by filling your life with your passion and love.
From games to animation, I share the joy of filling my life with the things and people I love.

We live in an age where truly liking something is considered a talent.
A passionate love for something is a major driving force that creates a listless and weary mind.
The author, who has been passionate about games and animation since childhood, creates content for subscribers to enjoy with games and animations he participated in, such as [Ring Fit Adventure], [Miraculous: Ladybug & Cat Noir], and [Cookie Run: Kingdom], and after three years of hard work, he was cast as his favorite character, 'Sabo', in the animation [One Piece].
He fiercely pursues what he loves, and through that work, he spreads positive energy to people, demonstrating a virtuous cycle of harmonious work and passion that is loved by the public.


Comedian Kim Kyung-wook said of him, “Nam Do-hyung, the human ion drink, who fills his life with his ‘favorite’ and uses it as a source of energy.
He also left a recommendation saying, “Talking with him automatically recharges my discharged emotions.”
For those who hesitate to pursue their passion for a career out of fear of being disappointed or unable to handle it, the author, through his new book, “Life is Blue,” personally demonstrates how powerful love is and how it can be a great driving force in life.


■ “I want to paint my life a more beautiful blue.”
A world of one's own that has expanded infinitely through voice, that's why it's blue!

The author has shown a special affection for the color blue, to the point that fans have nicknamed him "Crazy Blue" for the past 10 years.
His glasses and clothes are also blue, his YouTube channel name is 'Blue Club', and his subscriber name is 'Blueberry'.
But he says there's no special reason why he likes blue.
“I think that when you like something, whether it’s a person or a thing, you don’t need a reason to like it.
No, rather, I think there should be no special reason.
“Because the moment that reason disappears or changes, the feeling of liking that object will also disappear.”

The attitude towards blue can be applied to all areas of life.
It means not losing your original intention when dealing with people or things and pouring in boundless affection.
This is what made Nam Do-hyung, the passionate voice actor he is today, who gives his all at every moment.
There are days when he gets tired because he has more than 10 schedules in a day, but he vows to never forget the earnest desire he felt when he waited for hours for the production team to deliver a USB of voice samples.
As you read about the times you worked hard to achieve the best results, the moments of growth as much as pain, and the moments of happiness as much joy, readers will also find courage and determination in life.
His life, built step by step without wasting a single moment, his world is now the most wonderful blue.
