As the drama Agent Kim Reactivated rapidly climbs the charts, actor Yoon Kyungho has shared his thoughts in a lengthy post before fulfilling his vow of silence.
On the afternoon of the 28th, Yoon Kyungho uploaded a long message on social media, starting with, "Since it seems I might not be able to speak for 13 hours, I wanted to leave the things I want to say here in advance."
Regarding the fact that the SBS Friday-Saturday drama Agent Kim Reactivated, which premiered on the 26th, surpassed 15% in viewership ratings after just two episodes, Yoon expressed his gratitude, saying, "As an actor in the show, I am sincerely thankful for the passionate love from our viewers." He continued, "While thinking about how to express my gratitude, I remembered the pledge I made at the production presentation," bringing up his ratings promise.
During the production presentation for Agent Kim Reactivated held on the 25th, Yoon had promised, "Since So Jisub is returning to SBS after 13 years, if we surpass 13% in ratings, I will observe a 13-day vow of silence if my schedule allows. If not, I will do it for at least 13 hours."
Known in the entertainment industry for being quite talkative, Yoon had jokingly proposed the vow of silence himself. However, with Agent Kim Reactivated breaking the 15% mark after only two episodes, he quickly surpassed his own threshold.
Faced with the reality of having to fulfill his vow of silence, Yoon drew laughter by posting a long-form message on social media before starting his pledge.
Yoon shared, "So Jisub mentioned nonchalantly that he naturally doesn't speak for 13 hours every day," adding, "Come to think of it, the '13' in '13 hours' was meant to commemorate So Jisub's return to SBS after 13 years. I ended up setting a trap for myself."
Yoon, who noted, "My wife's advice to 'watch that mouth of yours' is finally hitting home," revealed, "I would love to start my 13-hour vow of silence right now to express my gratitude, but I am currently on a trip with my family after a very, very rare break, so it is difficult to do immediately."
Yoon promised, "I will definitely take on the challenge for those waiting as soon as I return." He added, "I have so much I want to say, but this time, I will replace those words with silence to repay your support," once again drawing laughter for mentioning 'silence' while already writing a lengthy post.
Furthermore, Yoon listed a total of 186 names in alphabetical order, saying, "I want to share this joy with the colleagues who worked hard with me." He specifically called out Son Naeun and Choi Dae-hoon, who had agreed to join him in the vow of silence, asking, "You guys are still doing this with me, right?"
Netizens who encountered the text-heavy post reacted with amusement, commenting, "It's so noisy even though it's just text," and "Is a 13-hour vow of silence even possible for him?"
Meanwhile, Agent Kim Reactivated airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 PM.
