Heartwarming Story About Famous Hallyu Actor Goes Viral, His Kindness Touches Fans’ Hearts

A heartwarming story about actor Ji Chang Wook has gone viral and is drawing attention.

On July 22, a touching anecdote involving Ji Chang Wook spread across X (formerly Twitter).

The story was first shared by a mother of a young child on her personal social media. She posted a photo of her son and wrote, “At this point, he should be crowned the king of escalator tantrums. He threw a fit again, refusing to get on by himself, and I was sweating trying to handle it—then a man appeared at the perfect moment and held my baby’s hand to help him down. Turns out it was ‘Wookie’ oppa. I survived thanks to him.” She added hashtags like “milky skin Ji Chang Wook” and “Ji Chang Wook good deed,” revealing that the helpful man was none other than actor Ji Chang Wook.

Another netizen later reshared the post and shared their own eyewitness account: “Since the story’s out… after a judging event, I was about to head down the escalator when I saw a child crying in front of me. I was trying to calm him down, but then oppa (Ji Chang Wook) came from behind and said, ‘Let’s go, it’s not scary, you’re okay,’ while holding the child’s hand and guiding him down. He truly looked like a grown-up man.”

Fans are speculating that the event happened at an airport escalator. Ji Chang Wook had just returned to Korea through Incheon International Airport on the 21st after holding a fan meeting in Taipei, Taiwan on the 20th.

What’s especially impressive is that upon landing, Ji Chang Wook immediately went to the VIP premiere of the movie “Omniscient Reader” at Lotte Cinema World Tower in Songpa-gu, Seoul, showcasing his loyalty. According to eyewitnesses, he didn’t even have time to change clothes before heading to the event. Ji Chang Wook’s admirable behavior off-camera continues to inspire many.

Meanwhile, Ji Chang Wook is currently filming the upcoming Netflix original series “Scandal” (working title). The series is based on the 2003 film Scandal: The Love Story of Joseon Men and Women. He plays the role of Jowon, a man who doesn’t believe in love and only enjoys romantic flings. He stars alongside actress Son Ye Jin and former After School member-turned-actress Nana.
