Gong Yoo is one of the actors in the South Korean entertainment industry who gained a loyal fanbase given his impressive acting abilities and hit projects. Recently, the "Goblin" star showed his sweet side when he surprised a fan with an unexpected gesture.
Gong has shown his avid fans various sides of himself through the many film and TV dramas that he participated in over the years. From a headstrong yet romantic young man to a father willing to sacrifice himself to save his daughter from zombies, the "Goblin" actor wowed viewers with his acting range.
Moreover, the "Coffee Prince" star is also known to display his adorable side to loyal followers. Recently, reports of Gong's special fan service revealed the sweet ways that he conveyed his appreciation for his fans' support.
A video clip that was taken by a fan during an August VIP screening of the Gong's movie "The Age of Shadows" unveiled his secret message for avid followers. Held at Seoul's Megabox COEX, the "Goblin" actor along with his co-stars took to the stage to talk about the movie.
Recently uploaded on Instagram, the clip showed Gong on stage when he noticed a fan filming him from the side. He then crossed his arms across his chest while his hand surreptitiously formed a finger heart towards the fan.
