At the press conference of the upcoming MBC drama, 'Arang and the Magistrate', which was held at Seoul Grand Ambassador Hotel on August 10th, he received 10 tons of rice from his overseas fans in Japan, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, and more. The gift was sent to congratulate him on his return to the screen after getting discharged from army service.
