Here's How Gong Yoo's Fans Surprised Him on His 20th Debut Anniversary

To commemorate his milestone, fans worldwide planned a surprise gift for the "Goblin" star.

His army of supporters put up an electronic ad over Gangnam and Sinsa station with bits of clips from his movies, Kdrama, campaigns and more as they greet the actor for his 20th debut anniversary.

"Congratulations! Happy Anniversary, Gong Yoo!" the caption reads as featured in the video.

Gong Yoo Moved by Fans' Thoughtful Gift

Interestingly, the "Train to Busan" star managed to get a glimpse of the advertisement around Seoul and his reaction was priceless.

Gong Yoo's agency, Management Soop, released a video titled "At Exit 1 of Sinsa Station... Gong Yoo visited the 20th-anniversary ad," which showed how the Hallyu star felt overwhelmed by the heartwarming surprise.

Holding a camcorder inside a car, the 42-year-old A-lister filmed the video while donning a brilliant smile and you can tell that he is delighted with the surprise gift.

While trying to film the whole part, he was frustrated that a bus covered the electronic ad.

"The bus covered everything. I think I have to take it again."

He then decides to walk to the streets and film the video.

Wearing a hat, hoodie and a face mask, he goes incognito at Sinsa Station and looks at the ad himself.

At the end of the clip, Gong Yoo expressed his deep-felt gratitude to fans who showed nothing but love and support throughout his two-decade-long career.
