Actor Song Joong-ki has been revealed to have prepared expensive electronics for the staff out of his own pocket.
On the 7th, Song Joong-ki and Lee Hee-joon, the stars of the movie ‘Bogotá’, appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Theo’ in ‘Salon Drip 2’.
On this day, Lee Hee-joon mentioned Song Joong-ki's considerate nature, saying, “He is the main character and has a lot to take care of, yet he looks after even the youngest staff member. He even considers the timing of the gatherings.” Song Joong-ki said, “If I feel that the staff are having a hard time, I think, ‘Should we unite through a gathering?’”
When Jang Do-yeon asked, “Did you have gatherings while filming ‘Bogotá’?” Song Joong-ki replied, “Yes. When the difficulties peaked, I gathered the local staff as well. The actors pooled together to buy iPads, iPhones, and other items for a raffle. I wanted to lift the mood that way. Everyone enjoyed it.”
He continued, “Aside from that, I usually host the gatherings. I really enjoy being an MC. If I can’t be an MC, I can’t sleep that night,” which drew laughter.
Additionally, Song Joong-ki said, “There is a musical actor among the cast. I secretly asked him to sing. So, I lifted the mood, but suddenly, the Colombian staff, who didn’t want to lose, said they would do something. When I played music, they started dancing salsa as couples,” explaining the situation at the time.
The Korean staff, not wanting to lose, also joined in, creating a dance battle atmosphere. Kim Jong-soo also danced to ‘Wrong Encounter’, catching attention.
Song Joong-ki recalled, “Lee Hee-joon also came out and danced salsa. He was attending a salsa academy at that time. It was the best gathering of my life.” At this, Lee Hee-joon stood up and danced salsa, impressing everyone.
