Actor Yoon Kyung-ho embarked on a 13-hour silent meditation practice as a gesture of gratitude for the success of 'Department Manager Kim'.

On the 13th, Yoon Kyung-ho shared a video along with a post stating, "I began my silent meditation practice at 7 a.m. today."

In the released video, Yoon Kyung-ho placed his hand on his chest and declared, "I, Yoon Kyung-ho, will undertake this silent meditation practice without any falsehood whatsoever, guided by my conscience and filled with gratitude."

He further stated, "I swear to diligently carry out this practice in every moment, including private spaces such as the shower area or restroom where cameras cannot accompany me," before starting a 13-hour countdown.

Previously, at the production presentation for 'Department Manager Kim' held last month, when asked about his viewership pledge, Yoon Kyung-ho responded, "So Ji-sub has returned to SBS after 13 years. The number 13 holds significance, so if we surpass 13%, I would like to produce a second season. This is simply my wish."

Upon hearing this, Ju Sang-wook jokingly told Yoon Kyung-ho, "Then do a silent meditation practice," to which Yoon Kyung-ho replied, "If we break through 13% and the schedule can be managed well, I will undertake a 13-hour silent meditation practice."

'Department Manager Kim' surpassed 13% viewership within its first week, followed by recording 21.6% nationwide in its fourth episode, breaking the 'psychological barrier of 20%'. The sixth episode, broadcast on the 11th, achieved 22.3%, setting a new record for the series' highest viewership.

Consequently, Yoon Kyung-ho fulfilled his silent meditation pledge, and a signing event for the practice is also scheduled at the SBS Broadcasting Center today. SBS explained, "We invite you to witness actor Yoon Kyung-ho's quiet fulfillment of his promise. You may speak freely, but Actor Yoon will absolutely not be able to talk."

Meanwhile, 'Department Manager Kim' is an adaptation of a popular webtoon of the same name, depicting an action drama about a father who becomes "the world's most dangerous man" to reclaim his only daughter. It airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
