Actors Son Ye-jin and So Ji-sub have become a topic of discussion for gifting high-value presents to the staff of their drama.

On the 21st, it was revealed through the YouTube channel 'Netflix Korea' that Son Ye-jin gave various gifts including Apple products, shoes, and perfumes to the staff of the Netflix series 'Scandal'.

One staff member on that day shared Son Ye-jin's kind deed, saying, "Son Ye-jin rained down a bomb of gifts during the wrap party. She personally selected and purchased various gifts ranging from Apple products to shoes and perfumes. It was truly a happy wrap party."

In response, Son Ye-jin said, "I have always been so grateful. Everyone did their absolute best in their respective roles," adding, "But since there wasn't much I could do for them, I thought they might be happy with good gifts, so I prepared them as a lucky draw."

She continued, "I prepared many because I thought fewer people would receive something if I didn't prepare enough. I did this out of the hope that it would bring happiness to them."

Son Ye-jin appeared in 'Scandal', which was released on the 18th. The work tells the story of Lady Jo (played by Son Ye-jin), a woman with exceptional talent who is trapped living only among women in the Joseon Dynasty, and Jo Won (played by Ji Chang-wook), the greatest lover of the Joseon era, engaging in a reckless and dangerous love bet. It also follows the story of a woman named Hye-yeon (played by Nana) entangled in that bet.

Previously, it was reported that So Ji-sub also gifted pure gold to his colleagues from the SBS drama 'Manager Kim'.

The drama 'Manager Kim', which concluded in July, is a revenge action drama about an ordinary father who becomes the most dangerous man in the world to win back his only daughter. It achieved a successful conclusion with a national viewership rating of 23.0% according to Nielsen Korea.

So Ji-sub, who played the lead role at the time, became a topic of discussion when it was revealed that he gifted one don (a traditional Korean unit of weight) of pure gold each to 300 cast members and production staff of 'Manager Kim'. It is reported that So Ji-sub spent approximately 100 million won of his own money for this.

Regarding this, So Ji-sub explained the reason for the gold gift in an interview after the conclusion of 'Manager Kim': "After debuting, I worked on many projects for a long time, and I realized that nothing goes well just because I do it alone. When a project ends, I feel truly grateful for the hard work of many people. That is why I included this sense of gratitude in the gift, and I wanted to give them something they could remember as 'we worked on such a project' in the future."
