Actor So Jisub's kind deed from 25 years ago was revealed belatedly and is drawing attention.
On the 26th, A, who once worked as So Jisub's youngest stylist, posted on his social account the anecdote he personally experienced with So Jisub under the hashtag "#codiStory."
A said, "I quit industrial design (sandi), learned makeup in Apgujeong and suddenly became a coordinator, and immediately became the youngest coordinator for Mr. So Jisub. When we were sitting together at a table near the MBC lobby he said, 'You did makeup today^^,' 'I'll buy you a gift to celebrate your three-month mark~^^,' showing interest and kindness even to the youngest coordinator," and added, "I will remember those lines for the rest of my life. I've been a fan since 25 years ago," showing her emotion.
He continued, "During a drama shoot, he said he could go in immediately because it seemed like he didn't need to apply makeup for one cut. He noticed the bridge of his nose was a little shiny, and when someone nearby said, 'Hurry and dab it!,' he quickly went in and dabbed his nose and, when I said, 'If you don't do it they'll scold me,' he said, 'Who would scold you~ who would scold you~!' and put the youngest coordinator at ease — he was a dependable, stylish older brother," he related another episode.
Rather than blaming the youngest coordinator, A was moved by So Jisub's firm protection and said, "How could you not be a fan? This is unfair," praising him with "Soganzi is the best♥." She also expressed regret, "At the time a friend asked for an autograph and I requested it, and he was resting in the back seat but jumped up, thanked us and signed the script. I should have asked for one too.."
Earlier that day it was revealed that So Jisub gifted gold to every actor and staff who worked on the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Manager Kim," which drew attention. The staff who worked on "Manager Kim" posted proof of the gold gifts on social media, and the post included the message, "Working on this project together, I felt great emotion and happiness. Thank you to everyone who quietly lit up 'Manager Kim' from their respective places. From 'Manager Kim' So Jisub," adding to the emotional response. So Jisub reportedly gifted 1 gram of pure gold to all 300 cast and crew members and spent about 100 million won of his own money.
So Jisub also gifted one don of gold to actors, managers and staff after filming the Netflix series "Gwangjang." Amid this, many have expressed admiration not only for the monetary gifts but also for his attentiveness in caring even for the youngest staff member.
Meanwhile, SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Manager Kim," in which So Jisub appeared, started with a 9.5% rating, surpassed 21.6% by episode 4 and recorded 23% in its final episode, episode 10, closing on a high note (Nielsen Korea, nationwide households). Having achieved record ratings, So Jisub is scheduled to take a reward vacation to Guam with the production team and cast to share the lingering success.
