Jo In Sung displayed an extraordinary level of affection for his fans, leaving them deeply moved and appreciative. 

According to his agency IOK Company, on July 31, Jo In Sung went above and beyond by renting out an entire theater during the first weekend of his latest movie 'Smugglers' release. 

The lucky attendees were none other than the members of his official fan club, known as 'InSungKunJa.' What made the occasion even more special was the surprise stage greeting by Jo In Sung and the rest of the cast, creating an unforgettable experience for the fans.

During the event, Jo In Sung humbly expressed his joy in reconnecting with his fans in such a heartwarming setting. He shared, "It's been a while since I've seen your faces in such a setting. 'Smugglers' is a movie that was filmed two years ago and it's a movie that I've been waiting to show. You will be able to see me restlessly in the second half of this year with the films 'Smugglers' and 'Moving,' and the show 'Unexpected Business.' I think it's the first time in 25 years that I've been this active."

The actor's genuine appreciation extended not only to his fans but also to his fellow actors and the film's staff. Initially intending to greet the fans alone, he was warmly persuaded by the senior and junior actors to join him, leading to a touching moment at the theater. He shared, "Originally, I was planning to come alone today and greet you but my senior and junior actors said they wanted to come with me to greet you all. I want to thank them as well."

This act of renting out a theater at his own expense and inviting fans has become a trademark of Jo In Sung whenever he releases a new movie. 

The film industry insiders have taken notice of this exceptional gesture, stating that it is rare for an actor to go to such lengths to show appreciation to their fans consistently. The fact that Jo In Sung takes the time to greet his fans personally further adds to the uniqueness of his relationship with them.

One film industry insider shared, "It's customary to only invite a few fans during film releases and invite certain fans through lottery events. But it is rare for an actor to rent a whole theater using his personal funds to invite many of his fans. He didn't do this just once or twice, he does this with every film release he has and it's amazing."

The insider added, "Indeed, Jo In-sung's love for his fans goes beyond mere words; it is evident in his actions and dedication to connecting with them. He has proven time and again that he values the unwavering support he has received since the beginning of his career until now, which has undoubtedly strengthened the bond between him and his loyal fan base."
