A top Korean actress has caught the attention of many netizens for her reaction after an audience member collapsed and for the stories that resurfaced subsequently.
On the 26th, a video titled “The Moment I Confirmed Jun Ji Hyun’s Character” spread online. In the video, during the stage greeting for the movie Colony, a spectator sitting in the front row suddenly collapses, and Jun Ji Hyun is the first to rush over to support the person.
Repeatedly checking, she asks, “You must have been very shocked. Are you okay?” Even after the spectator regained stability, she stayed by their side for a while and kindly took a commemorative photo together. Netizens who saw the video responded warmly, saying things like, “She has both looks and character,” and “The real person is the one who runs first in a situation like that.”
Stories about Jun Ji Hyun’s kindness have been continually making headlines. On the 22nd, actress Lee Mi Sook praised her on her channel, saying, “Jun Ji Hyun is quick and smart,” adding, “She brought homemade food to the set and personally took care of the staff’s health. She introduced a healthy meal of soft tofu and salted kelp.”
Additionally, the production team of SBS’s 2016 Wednesday-Thursday drama The Legend of the Blue Sea revealed on-set stories about Jun Ji Hyun. During the Spain location shoot, when timing mismatched in a bicycle scene with Lee Min Ho that required picking flowers from pots and led to a retake, Jun Ji Hyun didn’t feel embarrassed but instead checked on the surrounding staff’s condition first.
When stunt performers filmed a scene rolling down stairs, she stayed until the end, cheering with applause, bringing laughter and liveliness to the set throughout filming with her playful spirit. Fans continue to send support and praise for her consistent care both on and off screen.
Meanwhile, the film Colony, marking Jun Ji Hyun’s comeback to the big screen after 11 years, is currently heating up theaters by surpassing 2 million cumulative viewers. The story involves survivors inside a building cut off from the outside during a mysterious infection incident, fighting against an infection evolving in unpredictable ways.
