In a report, the actor said that he is observing Zero waste and has been practicing it even at work.

Zero waste living is preserving all resources through responsible production, consumption, recovery, and reuse of products and materials to avoid excessive waste.

For the 36-year-old star, one example of his zero-waste living is by not using disposable products to which fellow celebrity Park Jung Min has vouched. He said that whenever Ryu Jun Yeol is on set, "he uses a food tray instead of disposable items."

Curious about how the award-winning star continues this at his house, Park Jung Min asked his friend if he washed the dishes when he goes home.

For the actor, he said that his manager does the dishes, to which Park Jung Min replied and said "Your manager also practices 'Zero waste' together with you. From the Earth's perspective, whoever washes the dishes is the same."

Following his comment about his manager, Ryu Jun Yeolk receives backlash from the public.

Amid this, the manager addressed the actor's remark and explained that it was a mutual understanding.
