Popular South Korean MC Jun Hyun Moo has gotten a lot of attention after sharing text messages he got from actor Park Bo Gum. He said these messages showed fans what he thought was the actor's honest and humble personality.
Jun talked about his relationship with Park on a variety show on February 8. He said that they aren't close friends, but they do talk to each other from time to time. Because Park is known for being kind and professional, the comments quickly became a topic of conversation among viewers.
Jun talked about how they usually talk to each other while they were talking about their communication style. He said, "We don't talk on the phone, but we sometimes exchange text messages."
Last year, Jun won the Grand Prize at the KBS Entertainment Awards. He then talked about a specific conversation that happened around the time of his win. Koreaboo says that Jun talked about the congratulatory message he got from Park, which stood out to him because it was so warm and humble.
Before reading the exchange out loud, Jun said that he had talked to Park after the ceremony. He then said his message, "Thanks, Bogum! I feel like I received this grand prize when it was supposed to be yours. I wish you all the best in everything that you do, and let's work hard next year, too!"
Jun then talked about Park's answer, which he said made a strong impression. Park said, "What are you talking about? I came to congratulate you! I hope you have a weekend that is filled with the energy of happiness!"
Jun praised the message and said that Park's words showed the kind of grace and kindness that a top award winner should have. He said that Park's answer was "grand-prize worthy," which made everyone on set laugh and agree.
Naver says that the lighthearted mood stayed the same when fellow entertainer Park Myung Soo made a joke about the exchange. Park Myung Soo answered Jun's praise of Park Bo Gum before he made his comment. He said,"You should've given him the award."
Jun made another amusing comment after that. Smiling, he told the panel,"I'm even thinking about sending it to him through the mail."
The situation quickly spread all over the internet, and fans were commending Park Bo Gum for his kind and respectful comment, which was considered yet another example of his reputation for having a good heart. Most commentators saw this interaction as being in keeping with Park's pre-existing reputation for being a kind and respectable person in the entertainment industry.
