Popular South Korean stars have recently been highlighted for their thoughtful acts towards their juniors and fans. Among those praised for their generosity are actor Song Joong-ki, the boy group SEVENTEEN, and aespa’s Karina.
In a conversation featured on the “MMTG” YouTube channel, Pledis Entertainment’s upcoming boy group TWS spoke of SEVENTEEN’s kindness, referring to them as “SEVENTEEN’s younger brother.” TWS members recounted how their seniors had supported them, saying, “SEVENTEEN seniors have all given their cards to us. They also bought us expensive beef. Senior Hoshi wanted us to wear good shoes when practicing so he bought each of us a pair of shoes”.
Furthermore, TWS member Kyung-min shared a touching personal experience, “I have a special memory. I received expensive gifts on my birthday. Senior S.Coups bought me an iPad and senior Bumzu gave me a MacBook and AirPods Max. Senior Baekho bought me an Apple Watch. I was so grateful. I got a full set”. Shinyu, another group member, added, “Senior Bumzu bought me a phone. I felt like he really cared and loved me.”
Outside the realm of idols, aespa’s Karina revealed her own story of generosity. During a trip to Sapporo, Japan, Karina encountered fans at a lamb restaurant. She narrated the experience in a “Salon Drip” video published on the “TEO” YouTube channel.
Karina decided to pay for the meal of two Korean women who had recognized her earlier, and discreetly asked the restaurant to discard the receipt to avoid the fans feeling indebted.
Additionally, singer-actress BIBI spoke on MBC’s “Radio Star” about her encounter with Song Joong-ki, her co-star in the movie “Hwaran.” Recalling Kim Gu-ra’s remarks about a gift she received from Song Joong-ki, BIBI expressed her gratitude, “He bought me the latest mobile phone. He just bought it for me and Hong Xa-bin, who is currently serving in the military. We were just saying, ‘This phone has just been released’, among ourselves then he (Song Joong-ki) said, ‘Just order it’, and sent us the money”.
