Fredrik Solvang Opens Up About Challenges Faced Due to His Appearance in New NRK Series ‘A-laget’
Article:
Norway’s new NRK program, ‘A-laget,’ is HERE to challenge societal norms. As the show’s title suggests, it brings together prominent individuals and subjects them to RAW, UNFILTERED conversations with atypical reporters. Statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre and comedian Herman Flesvig have already faced the music, and this week, it’s Fredrik Solvang’s turn.
More Challenging Than Ever
Solvang, best known for his role in ‘Debatten,’ is no stranger to public life. However, he admits that being on the receiving end of questioning is a different beast altogether. Speaking on ‘Dagsrevyen,’ he described his experience on ‘A-laget’ as both enlightening and nerve-wracking. He also revealed that while he usually keeps his private life private, this show is a unique opportunity to highlight the diverse experiences of those with functional variations.
Reflecting on Past Struggles
In his upcoming episode of ‘A-laget,’ Solvang delves into his past struggles with feeling different due to his Asian features. He revealed that while he wasn’t systematically discriminated against or bullied, the constant feeling of being different took a toll on him.
"I was not the kind of person who would hide away. Unfortunately, I think I was the type who would take it out on others," he admitted, reflecting on his past behavior. "If I was bullied, I could bully others. That’s something I regret as an adult."
Looking Ahead
Solvang hopes that viewers will take away the message that everyone is unique from watching ‘A-laget.’ He wants to encourage everyone to embrace their differences and reject the impulse to bring others down to feel superior.
Dagbladet reached out to Solvang for comment, but he preferred to wait until the episode has aired for viewers to see his story in its entirety.
