'Actor So Ji-sub, who led the success of "Manager Kim," continues to foster strong team unity by not only gifting gold to cast and staff but also joining them on a reward vacation.

According to StarNews' investigation on the 27th, So Ji-sub is scheduled to travel to Guam for a reward vacation with the cast and production team of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama "Manager Kim" in mid-August.

'So Ji-sub, who played the title role in "Manager Kim" and drove its success, plans to spend time recharging in Guam with the actors and staff who worked hard on the project together. While he missed the reward vacation during the success of SBS's Wednesday-Thursday drama "Sunshine of My Life" in 2013 due to personal schedules, he has decided to join this time. He is expected to join the trip after wrapping up follow-up schedules such as media interviews following the series finale.

'An SBS official told StarNews on the 23rd that "some of the cast members and key production staff are coordinating their personal schedules to discuss a small-scale team-building trip." Reports indicate that the atmosphere on set was just as warm and friendly as the high viewership suggested. Most main cast members attended the wrap party held on the 25th, watching the final episode together to celebrate the show's success. In particular, So Ji-sub further warmed hearts by gifting gold to the actors and staff who had worked hard alongside him.

'Another lead actor in "Manager Kim," Yoon Kyung-ho, is also expected to join the reward vacation. Yoon Kyung-ho played Park Jin-cheol in the series and shared strong on-screen chemistry with So Ji-sub (who plays Manager Kim). Although he has a packed schedule for upcoming projects in the second half of the year, he made time to join this trip. Choi Tae-hoon, who plays Sung Han-soo, is currently filming ENA's new drama "Love That Makes You Shiver" and is reportedly coordinating his future schedules.

'Meanwhile, "Manager Kim" is an action revenge drama about a father universe where the world's most ordinary father becomes the world's most dangerous man to fight for his only daughter. The series stars So Ji-sub, Choi Tae-hoon, Yoon Kyung-ho, Joo Sang-wook, Son Na-eun, and Kim Sung-kyu.

'"Manager Kim" concluded its run with a final viewership rating of 23% based on Nielsen Korea's national household data. It surpassed the 20th% viewership mark within just four episodes and recorded its highest-ever rating of 23.1% in the eighth episode, ranking second among all SBS Friday-Saturday dramas in history.

'"Manager Kim," which concluded after 10 episodes on the 25th, is scheduled to reunite with viewers through special broadcasts over two days on August 1 and the 31st.
