[NEWS] Girls Generation YoonA Gifts “Love Rain” Staff with Vitamins



It’s been belatedly revealed that Girls’ Generation’s YoonA presented the crew of her drama “Love Rain” with vitamins to express her gratitude. Several photos of YoonA handing out shopping bags full of vitamins were shared on various online communities.

According to the post, YoonA’s gift came with a card, which read, “Thank you really for all the hard work. I’m very grateful to every single staff member. Thank you for portraying Hana [YoonA] so beautifully. I had so much fun meeting such great people. Thank you for all of your time and hard work. Always take care of your health.”

Netizens commented, “First Jang Geun Suk, now YoonA. Everyone’s so considerate,” “They all look so close,” “Such a sweet angel,” and more.

“Love Rain” is a melo-love story set in two different periods – the 1970s and 2012. Jang Geun Suk and YoonA play Seo In Ha and Kim Yoon Hee, two college students who fall in love with each other in the 1970s; unfortunately, the two do not get their happily ever after. Fast forward to the present, Seo Joon, In Ha’s son (also played by Jang Geun Suk) meets and falls in love with Ha Na, Yoon Hee’s daughter (also played by YoonA). Jang Geun Suk’s 1970s Seo In Ha is a romantic arts student who is willing to lay down his life for the love of his life. His son Seo Joon, on the other hand, is a carefree photographer who enjoys a freewheeling lifestyle. YoonA’s 1970s Kim Yoon Hee is a pure, elegant “campus goddess,” while her daughter Ha Na is a bright and lovable character.

[NEWS] Jang Geun Suk’s Gift Worth 36 Million Won to “Love Rain” Staff


Jang Geun Suk showed his appreciation to all the “Love Rain” production staff with gift certificates worth over 36 million won (approx. $30,000 USD), local media OSEN reported on June 11.

An official from the “Love Rain” producers told OSEN, “Jang Geun Suk gave a 300,000 won ($300 USD) gift certificate to each of the 120 staff members to celebrate the end of ‘Love Rain.’”

“Jang Geun Suk wanted to give a special gift to all the staff who worked so hard for the entire drama series. The drama itself may not have been the biggest hit, but the overall chemistry and team work was by far the best. It was his way of showing appreciation to the production team for the long recording schedule,” the official added.

Another official was quoted as saying, “You don’t see an actor present such a special gift too often. It’s worth a lot of money too, but we thought it was very Jang Geun Suk-style to find a gift that’s not too fancy or too boring.”

Meanwhile, Jang Geun Suk is planning to continue his “The CRI Show 2” in July, starting from Seoul and four cities in Japan, including Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka. His first Japanese regular album, “Just Crazy,” hit #1 on both the Oricon’s daily chart and weekly chart.
