“Who would scold you?” So Ji-sub’s heartwarming kindness to junior staff 25 years ago

Actor So Ji-sub, who recently proved his star power once again through the drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," is garnering warm attention as a heartwarming anecdote from 25 years ago resurfaces.

On the 27th, a post was uploaded to an online community by a netizen who claimed to have been So Ji-sub's youngest coordinator in the past.

The author recalled those days, saying, "After dropping out of industrial design, I started learning makeup and accidentally began working as a coordinator. The first actor I was assigned to was So Ji-sub."

Recounting an anecdote of spending time with him in the MBC lobby, the author shared, "So Ji-sub said, 'You did your makeup today. I'll buy you a gift to celebrate your three-month anniversary.'"

She continued to express her affection, saying, "He always showed interest in me and treated me warmly, even though I was just the youngest staff member. I still cannot forget the words he said back then. Because of that, I have been a fan for 25 years."

In particular, another episode from the filming set caught public attention.

The author explained, "During a drama shoot, it was a scene where only one shot was being taken, so So Ji-sub went onto the set without any makeup touch-ups. I heard people saying, 'Go quickly and fix his makeup,' so I rushed after him."

She then recounted the situation: "As I lightly touched up his nose, I said, 'If I don't do this, I feel like I'll get scolded,' and So Ji-sub reassured me by saying, 'Who~ Who would scold you!'"

She reminisced, "I still remember that single phrase intended to ease the burden of the youngest staff member. The So Ji-sub I met in my 20s is still the best actor to me."

Following the revelation, online reactions included comments such as, "This is a heartwarming story typical of So Ji-sub," "His consideration for even the junior staff is wonderful," "That one phrase, 'Who would scold you,' must have been so reassuring," and "Now I know why successful actors are loved for so long."

So Ji-sub, who recently achieved success through the SBS drama "Agent Kim Reactivated," continues to maintain his stellar reputation as heartwarming stories from both inside and outside his work are spotlighted.
