According to broadcasting and entertainment industry insiders on July 27, So gifted pure gold to about 300 people, including the cast and production crew of 'Agent Kim Reactivated'. It was reported to be a generous gift totaling around 100 million won based on market prices at the time of purchase.
Verification photos released through online communities showed a dedicated gold case along with a heartfelt message that read, "I felt great emotion and happiness working together on this project. Thank you to everyone who always quietly let 'Agent Kim Reactivated' shine from your respective positions."
This is not the first time So Jisub has made headlines for his good deeds. After wrapping up filming for the Netflix original series 'Plaza' last year, he also presented gold to the actors, managers, and all staff members. At the time, So appeared on entertainment shows and wittily explained, "I used to give many other gifts, but people thought they were sponsored items. Since times are tough for everyone these days, I prepared this in case they might need to sell it and use it later," drawing widespread attention.
Meanwhile, 'Agent Kim Reactivated', starring So Jisub, is an action revenge drama about an ordinary father setting out to rescue his daughter, which came to an end on July 25. The final episode of 'Agent Kim Reactivated' achieved massive success, recording a nationwide viewership rating of 23.0% and 23.4% in the metropolitan area, according to Nielsen Korea. Furthermore, the series continued its popularity in the global market by ranking first in the Netflix non-English TV show category for three consecutive weeks. Buoyed by its box-office success, 'Agent Kim Reactivated' has been organized to broadcast two special episodes.
