So Ji-sub skips the swag with a pure-gold Agent Kim Reactivated thank-you

"To those who silently kept their positions" So Ji-sub's special wrap gift

Actor So Ji-sub gifted pure gold to his colleagues and the production crew who worked hard together to mark the conclusion of the drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated'. Photos released through online communities and SNS on the 26th show So Ji-sub delivering pure gold gifts contained in dedicated cases.

The cases bear a message that reads: "I felt great emotion and happiness while working on this project. I am grateful to all of you who always made 'Agent Kim Reactivated' shine from your silent positions. From So Ji-sub of Agent Kim."

"So you can sell it and use it later" A witty consideration

This is not the first time So Ji-sub has made such a move. Last year, after finishing filming the Netflix series 'Mercy for None', he also gifted one *don* (approx. 3.75g) of gold to the cast, managers, and staff. At the time, he directly revealed the reason for preparing the gifts through the YouTube channel 'Channel Full Moon'.

So Ji-sub stated, "In the past, I gave many other things, but everyone thought they were sponsorships," adding, "Since gold cannot be a sponsorship, I prepared it with sincerity." He added wit, saying, "Isn't the world difficult these days? I prepared it as something that might be sold and used later." He also lightened the atmosphere on set with a joke, saying, "It's not fixed on gold. If I move down to a supporting role later, I think I'll have to switch to silver."
