On October 25, Zo In Sung attended an annual awards ceremony 'Beautiful Artists Awards' (literal translation).
He came to the awards ceremony with a black suit that highlighted his unreal body ratio, and surprisingly, a beard.
Despite his hectic schedule, Zo In Sung always found time to help those in need; he gave financial support to pediatric patients with rare diseases at Asan Medical Center for the last 12 years, sponsored the construction of schools in impoverished areas of Tanzania, Africa and more.
During his acceptance speech, Zo In Sung said, "I'm not sure if I deserve this award. I was simply lucky enough to become an actor and received so much love from many people around the world. As a result, I was able to earn more than some others. One day, one close wise elderly person told me, 'It's easy to get drunk on money, so why don't you just get rid of that poison? If you do, I'm sure good things will surely come to you.'"
He continued, "So, I started donating with a selfish mind. I believe that the poison has returned to me as medicine now. I'll keep donating. Thank you."
They could not stop commenting on how he looked with a beard though, because it was in fact the actor's first time growing that much beard since his debut.
And a lot of them seemed unhappy with the way he looked; they said that he did not look good with a beard at all.
Following the ceremony, when Zo In Sung updated his Instagram with photos from the event, fans rushed to the post and left comments, telling him how 'bad' he looked with his beard and asking him to shave it off.
Their comments included, "Thank you for doing all that, oppa. But please shave off your beard! Like... Right now!", "Why...? Why did you decide to grow your beard? It's not for you. It really is not. Please get rid of it!", "No, no, no. Your beard makes you look like an ajussi who doesn't take care of himself. It doesn't suit you!" and so on.
