Yoon Kyung-ho's son turns So Ji-sub's gold into birthday gift
Agent Kim Reactivated star Yoon Kyung-ho shares how So Ji-sub's 1g gold cast gift became a funny family birthday twist.
The success of the drama 'Agent Kim Reactivated' led to a special reward for the cast and crew. This work, which concluded on the 25th, held the number 1 spot in the Netflix Global Non-English TV Show category for three consecutive weeks. Driven by this momentum, the 300 staff members will depart for a reward vacation to Guam on August 18. In particular, lead actor So Ji-sub personally gifted 1g of gold, worth a total of 100 million won, to each staff member.
The 1g of gold gifted by So Ji-sub and the son's twist
Yoon Kyung-ho revealed the gold gift he received from So Ji-sub and shared a pleasant family episode. He said, "Ji-sub hyung sent the gold through his manager. I didn't expect him to look after me as well, so I was surprised and grateful." However, this gold immediately went to his 8-year-old son. This was because the son cried and pestered him for the gold. Yoon Kyung-ho recalled, "In the end, I gave it to my son on the condition that he would check every day if it was still in the drawer under the bed, a space only the two of us know." The twist occurred on July 5, Yoon Kyung-ho's birthday. Perhaps unable to endure the stress of having to check the gold every day, the son gave the gold back to his father as a gift.
Action performed without a stunt double and confessions of unknown days
In 'Agent Kim Reactivated', Yoon Kyung-ho played the role of Park Jin-cheol, a former deployed soldier. To perform punch-heavy bare-knuckle action, he picked up boxing, which he had learned during his theater days. Although there was a stunt double, he performed most of the action scenes himself due to physical differences and directorial reasons.
Behind his current popularity lay a long period of being unknown. Having debuted in the 1999 play 'Maengjin-sa-daek Gyeong-sa', he endured by drifting through manual labor. In particular, after his daughter was born, there were moments so difficult that he wanted to give up acting. He confessed his feelings at the time, saying, "I didn't have the confidence to watch my child grow up struggling because of her father's dream." Later, he gained his current popularity through the 'Yurimping' craze in the Netflix series 'Trauma Center'.
The chemistry of the three fathers shown with So Ji-sub and Choi Dae-hoon
The friendship of the three fathers played by So Ji-sub, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Choi Dae-hoon is cited as a factor in the work's success. Yoon Kyung-ho recalled their chemistry, saying he felt like he had become actual friends with So Ji-sub and Choi Dae-hoon, and that they laughed as if they were real people when the three of them walked out onto the street after the incident ended in a happy ending.
Yoon Kyung-ho recently played the role of Han Yu-rim in the Netflix series 'Trauma Center', earning the nickname 'Yurimping', and is continuing his activities by appearing in the movie 'My Daughter Is a Zombie' and the TVING series 'The Legend of Kitchen Soldier'.
