Cha Ye-ryun celebrates Joo Sang-wook's birthday as 'Chairman Joo Kang-chan'

Actress Cha Ye-ryun has captured hearts by celebrating her husband Joo Sang-wook's birthday with a theme based on his character, 'Chairman Joo Kang-chan,' from the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated.' By bringing the drama's popularity into a real-life celebration, she simultaneously expressed her affection for her husband and her support for the series.

On the 19th, Cha shared photos of the birthday party on her social media (SNS) with the caption, "Happy Birthday, Chairman Joo Kang-chan."

The party venue was decorated with elements highlighting Joo's character from the drama. Under 'BIRTHDAY' balloons, a large photo of Chairman Joo Kang-chan was displayed, and Joo was seen creating a playful atmosphere by covering his face and trying to hold back laughter in front of his own portrait.

The birthday cake also embraced the show's concept. A red heart-shaped cake was inscribed with the message "Happy Birthday, Chairman Joo," seamlessly connecting the character to his actual birthday.

Most touching were the warm family moments captured during the celebration. As their daughter approached Joo to give him a kiss on the cheek before the candles were lit, Joo held her hand tightly, sharing a happy moment with a bright smile. The brief family connection felt even more meaningful than the elaborate decorations.

Cha also expressed her gratitude to the guests who joined the gathering. She wrote, "Thank you for the advisor's birthday meal. CEO, the delicious cake is touching. Ending the birthday party with a surprise from Uncle Kkans," thanking those who helped prepare the special day. Businesswoman Noh Hee-young also attended the party to take commemorative photos with the family.

Continuing her display of affection, Cha wrote, "Thank you so much for being born, my husband Chairman Joo," before adding a message of support for the series: "Fighting, Chairman Joo Kang-chan of Agent Kim Reactivated!"

Joo is currently delivering a powerful performance as the cold-headed businessman Chairman Joo Kang-chan in 'Agent Kim Reactivated.' The eighth episode, which aired on the 18th, recorded a viewership rating of 23.1% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea, breaking the drama's own record once again as its popularity continues to climb.
