South Korean actor So Ji-sub has shown his appreciation for the cast and crew of his recent hit drama, "Confidential Assignment 2: International," by gifting them gold. The actor personally funded the purchase of 1 gram of gold for each of the 300 individuals involved in the production.

This generous act, reportedly costing around 100 million Korean won (approximately $75,000 USD), is not the first time So Ji-sub has rewarded his colleagues. He previously gifted gold to the cast and crew of "Doctor Lawyer," explaining at the time that he wanted to provide something tangible they could sell if times were difficult.
