The total weight of the rice is enormous : 2,140 kgs !

When Yoo Ah In’s drama Fashion King was launched last March at Gimpo International Airport, his fans sent those rice as his present – as you know it becomes a tradition that fans gives rice present during a drama launching, to show support for their favorite star.

And now, Yoo Ah In decided to send it to a charitable noodle shop in Hwnagsu-dong, Incheon.
The restaurant is well known for its good work of feeding more than 200 people a day without charge. The customers are homeless people or elderly living on their own.

The owner of the restaurant went to his twitter account to say ‘Now my customer can eat to their hearts’ content’.

And those rice should feed those unfortunate people for at least two months !

Wonderful job for Yoo Ah In and that restaurant !

Kim Soo Hyun definitely took the biggest advantage from hit drama The Moon That Embraces The Sun. He left only a small part for his co-star , second lead male, Jung Il Woo.
Like we said before, it’s not the best decision strategically for Jung Il Woo to play second leading role beside Kim Soo Hyun just right after the successful rom-com Flower Boy Ramyun Shop which boosted his popularity.

But, Jung Il Woo still has a lot of devoted fans, fortunately. And he’s still busy.
The newest, Jung Il Woo will appear on a popular Chinese talkshow Tian Tian Xiang Shang (or Day Day Up) which airs on Hunan Satellite TV Channel.

The talkshow was the rating king for the last 2 years and has featured famous people such as Bill Gates, David Beckham, Takuya Kimura and Ayumi Hamasaki. The talkshow was popular among youth audience because of its humor and style.
So, it’s a honor for Jung Il Woo to be featured on the talkshow where he’s expected to share behind the scene stories while he was filming Flower Boy Ramyun Shop and The Moon That Embraces The Sun.
