Actor So Jisub became the subject of another heartwarming story after it was revealed that he gifted gold to actors and staff who worked with him on his new project.
On the 26th, photos verifying the gifts that So Jisub gave to the cast and staff of the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Manager Kim' were posted on various online communities and social media, drawing attention.
The released photos showed the gold in its special case along with a thank-you message personally written by So Jisub.
So Jisub wrote, "Working on this project together brought me great emotion and happiness. I thank all of you who quietly shone a light on 'Manager Kim' from your respective positions," conveying his sincere feelings to his colleagues.
In fact, So Jisub's "gold gift" is not a first. After finishing filming the Netflix series "Gwangjang" last year, he also gifted one don of gold to actors, managers and staff who worked with him, which became a topic of conversation. At the time, So Jisub said in an interview, "Since I took on leading roles, I have always given something whenever a project ended," and added, "I gave them to actors, managers, staff and most people involved."
He went on, "It is a token of gratitude for finishing filming safely. I would not be here without these people," and explained, "I used to give many other gifts, but some people regarded them as sponsorships. Gold cannot be a sponsorship, so I prepared it sincerely." He added, "The economy is difficult these days. There's also the meaning of selling it and using the money if something difficult happens later," which made the gesture even more moving.
He did not forget his characteristically cheerful wit. So Jisub joked, "It's not fixed as gold. If I end up playing a supporting role later, I think I should switch to silver," drawing laughter.
Netizens who heard the news responded warmly with comments such as "As expected, So-gansi," "The heart is more valuable than the gift," "An actor who thinks of the staff first," and "No wonder the heartwarming stories never stop."
