Actor Kang Ha Neul is proving once again why he's known as a top-tier "good deed predator" in the entertainment industry! His recent actions during the filming of Squid Game 2 have warmed hearts and earned him even more admiration for his kindness.

On December 26, Park Jong Nam, a hand double on Squid Game 2, shared a touching story on his social media. He revealed that he was asked to participate as a hand double for Kang Ha Neul's character, Kang Dae Ho, in a crucial Gongi scene. The scene, which aired in episode 4 of Squid Game 2, became a fan favorite because of Kang Dae Ho's incredible hand skills.

Park explained how, just two days before his wedding in October 2023, he received a call from the Master of Living PD, asking him to be a part of a global OTT project. Even though he had his wedding the next day, Park couldn’t turn down the opportunity. He traveled to Daejeon to film the scene, signing a strict security agreement and getting ready for the shoot. What he didn’t expect was how kind and welcoming the Squid Game 2 cast, especially Kang Ha Neul, would be.

Park shared that he had lunch with big names like Lee Byung Hun, Lee Jung Jae, and director Hwang Dong Hyuk. Despite the hectic filming schedule, Kang Ha Neul took the time to ask him about his Gongi skills and even congratulated him on his wedding. After filming, Kang Ha Neul didn’t stop there—he gave Park a thoughtful gift for his wife, showing just how much of a kind-hearted person he truly is.

"He made me feel so relaxed during filming and even asked me to teach him how to play Gongi," Park said. "I now understand why people praise Kang Ha Neul."

Kang Ha Neul has long been known as a "good deed star" in the industry. In 2023, he gained attention for secretly helping struggling colleagues by renting practice rooms for them to film audition videos. "I know how tough it can be after the pandemic," he shared. "I wanted to help out my friends who needed a place to film without worrying about the cost."

This selfless act, combined with his generosity on the Squid Game 2 set, shows that Kang Ha Neul truly lives up to his reputation as one of the most compassionate stars in the industry. Whether it's supporting fellow actors or giving back to his community, Kang Ha Neul is spreading warmth and kindness into the new year. Fans can’t help but love him even more!

Actor Park Bo Gum’s sincerity and kindness once again became a hot topic—this time, even IU admitted his personality makes her feel “frustrated” in the best way possible!

On March 14, KBS2’s The Seasons – Park Bo Gum’s Cantabile aired its first episode, marking Park Bo Gum’s long-awaited return as an MC.

The episode featured a surprise visit from his long-time friends Kwak Dong Yeon, Kim Yoo Jung, and Jinyoung, who co-starred with him in Love in the Moonlight.

The three actors introduced themselves in a hilarious yet heartwarming way:
Kim Yoo Jung: “I’m the vestibular system that keeps Bo Gum oppa balanced when he feels dizzy.”
Jinyoung: “I’m the lungs that help Bo Gum hyung breathe through everything.”
Kwak Dong Yeon: “I’m the strong pillar—his supportive back muscles.”

Kim Yoo Jung jokingly predicted, “I think Bo Gum oppa is going to cry every week on this show.”

Kwak Dong Yeon added, “He cried so much during rehearsal that the wooden floor absorbed all the moisture—we might have to replace it.” ?

Park Bo Gum explained, “Seeing my dear friends take time out of their crazy schedules to support me… I could feel their encouragement just by looking at them, and I suddenly teared up.”

Jinyoung then revealed, “I actually had a script reading today, so I originally couldn’t come. But when the schedule got pushed back, I immediately called Bo Gum to say I’d be there.”

To return the love, the three actors secretly prepared a special surprise performance for Park Bo Gum. They sang a heartfelt song just for him, making the audience cheer.

Kwak Dong Yeon confessed, “We didn’t even practice it out loud during rehearsals because we wanted to keep it a surprise.”

Later in the show, former The Seasons MC Lee Young Ji was spotted in the audience, cheering loudly for Park Bo Gum.

Not one to miss out on fun, she suddenly jumped onto the stage and convinced him to do aespa’s Supernova dance challenge.

With a quick crash course in dancing, Park Bo Gum nailed the moves, drawing huge reactions from the audience!

Meanwhile, IU recently praised Park Bo Gum on Salon Drip 2, saying:
“He’s both hardworking and kind. If you combine those two things, you get Park Bo Gum.”

She continued, “The source of all his kindness is his insane stamina. No matter how exhausted he is, he still manages to be considerate of others. It actually makes me mad! There was a really difficult scene once, and even when he was drained, he told the director, ‘I could’ve done better, I’m so sorry.’ Watching that made me think, ‘Why am I not that kind of person?’ and it frustrated me.”

Park Bo Gum’s heartwarming personality and dedication to his craft continue to inspire both colleagues and fans alike.
