Ryu Seung-ryong gifts movie daughter Park Shin-hye with food truck
by girlfriday
So. Much. Cuteness. Why is this man so full of win? Ryu Seung-ryong has another hit movie on his hands, the heartwarming comedy The Gift of Room 7, where he plays a jailbird dad to Park Shin-hye (and her childhood version, Gal So-won, pictured above). And just to be a good dad to his movie daughter, he sent a food truck to the set of Park Shin-hye’s current drama, Flower Boy Next Door. Adorable.
It’s common practice for celebs (and fans) to send each other food trucks to feed the cast and crew of their latest projects, but it’s especially endearing when they’re from movie parents. Of all the ways to promote a movie, it’s definitely one of the sweetest. The banner reads: “Ryu Seung-ryong is buying for his daughter! Our Shin-hye has to eat rice. Rice~” (mimicking his character’s funny speech pattern). He even visited the drama set in person to deliver the late-night food truck, and Park Shin-hye tweeted that she was especially thankful, on a day when her character Dok-mi was crying. Awwww.
The Gift of Room 7 stars Ryu Seung-ryong as a man with the intelligence of a 6-year old, who gets convicted for murder and sent to a maximum security prison where he’s assigned to Room 7, home to the meanest baddest baddies around. But the group of hardened criminals starts to take care of their new childlike roommate, and decide to help him fulfill his only wish: to break his daughter into prison, so he can be with her. It’s a daddy-daughter heartwarmer and a zany comedy, and I can’t wait to watch it.
It opened in first place at the box office and sold over 2.5 million tickets in its first week, proving that Ryu Seung-ryong is on one crazy hot streak these days. The Gift of Room 7 is in theaters now.

The opening of this movie sort of coincided with discovery of three underage sisters, who were discovered living alone (without adult supervision) and on the brink of dying of starvation, lack of cold and untreated physical injury in a small town in South Korea. I will let you imagine the pandemonium that broke out after the news.
I am still learning more details about this gruesome, chilling crime against humanity. So far, there's abandonment of minor, child endangerment, a step mom, and a biological dad whom the step mom deceived into giving up visitation, etc. I am sure more heart-stopping details are in store.
The government acted swiftly and the three children are being taken care of as best as possible under the circumstances. And both parental figures are under investigation, too.
But then, there is this movie. Just so, we mere mortals can find courage to go on living. I could not ask for a better antidote.

Goo Hye Sun's little sister, 'Fluffy' from Take Care of us Captain'. :) At the press conference for the movie's opening, Hye Sun showed up (incognito) wearing a Pooh-Bear costume to support her little friend. Good luck to the cast, hope they will warm a million and one hearts...:)

It was heartwarming to see the bond between RSR and PSH outside their movie relationship too. PSH holds him in very high esteem. She also attended his birthday fan meeting too. It must be inspiring and motivating to have him visit her bringing the food truck......specially since she needs it after extremely tiring schedule of hers that landed her in ER while shooting late night for her drama. I do hope she is taking better care of herself. Do wish international fans could watch this movie too in which she plays a short but defining role as his daughter.

She just got a UV shoot, she admitted in one of her latest interview (and she has so many lately). The girl is basically everywhere these days, with drama filming. movie promoting, SJS MV and more CFs.... so I knew it's coming. SRS also said he understand how tired she must be with a crazy schedule like that so he went to cheer for her personally. I think it's endearing. And it seems like Korea start to appreciate her as a real actress now :)

Why do people always look down on ALL movie promotions as if they're all insincere relationships?
I've helped promo my friends' art/works on my social networking sites and it doesn't make our friendship less sincere.
Bosses promote their companies by throwing parties and events for employees and their families too.
It's called, "I care for your success even in work just as I know you care for mine, so let's do something to boost your sales and perhaps mine as well."
As publicity stunts go, buying food for a previous co-worker and their new co-workers is the least offensive kind you can have.

If he sincerely wanted to help her out, his management wouldn't have informed journalists about it. Maybe PSH would have talked about it months later, when interviewed about the film. Sincerity means having no ulterior motive.
It's like those charity documentaries Olive airs, where celebrities go to Africa to supposedly help the poor kids and then stay in million-dollar trailers and eat delicacies when the cameras are off.

This is not even close to the same thing as fake volunteering in a charity when you really don't care, so don't. The social, racial, and international implications of that are far more destructive than this.
Sincerity means being honest or doing an action without lying. You can have multiple reasons for an action but as long as no one is lying about any of it then it does not make it insincere.
There is nothing hidden about the fact that this is a movie promo as well as as gift for a friend. Of course the media is made aware of it. What is the purpose of good publicity no one has heard of until after the movie and her drama are over?
The two actors are both in the same movie. Promoting the movie is mutually beneficial. It's called reciprocity and does not lessen the sincerity in it. As much as acting may be a passion for them it is also a job they make money off of. Boosting the sales for their movie and her drama through good publicity is a business transaction.
It's the same as when you frequently buy the clothes your friend makes and tell people you meet to buy from her too. Or you ask a friend to promo your music on their website or in their Youtube video. Equal exchange for the purposes of boosting product sales does not automatically denote insincerity simply because money is involved.
It's only insincere if behind the scenes they hate each other's guts. Even then they probably mutually decided to be professional for the sake of the movie and everyone who makes a living off of that project. That's what adults do when they have to work with people they don't like. You suck it up and put on a professional smile. Bad publicity or even no publicity can destroy a project easily and hundreds of people depend on the success of that movie and drama. It is not just about the two star actors and forgetting that to be "sincere" about their hatred for each other would be a gross disservice to them as well.
And that's just the monetary aspect. This is not even including the idea that maybe they really enjoyed working together and they really loved the movie they made so they want to leave a good impression so audiences will watch the movie and love it too. That is not insincerity.
Please view the world more complexly because being devoid of monetary gain does not automatically mean sincerity just as much as having to do with monetary gain does not automatically mean insincerity.

Exactly. You've put it so eleoquently and articulately. Well said!
Somethings are binary, no doubt. However, knowing instinctively what is binary and what is not takes more than a college degree.
Meeyeong
February 1, 2013 at 3:24 AM
What makes you think this has been explicitly or even implicitly defined as publicity by those involved? Are you actually reading the headlines in Korean? It's totally being treated as an act of kindness with no ulterior motive. Which it could be qualified as such if Ryu's management didn't contact all the press pointing out the fact right after. Now you'll tell me it's because of PSH's tweet, but I wouldn't be so patronizing as to imply you'd be so naive.
You want to be kind? Do it when the cameras are off.

It's already a box office success.
PSH also went on the set when the filming for the movie was being done. She also attended his birthday without fanfare. If one knows even a little about PSH she is one of the most sincere, warm, loyal and down to earth person with close bonds with everyone she has worked with. She has been vocal about how much she respects him as an actor and jumped at the chance of working with him even though it was just a supporting role.
Every act does not always have ulterior motives. In fact, it's a good thing that more and more people get to know about it and do not miss out on watching a wonderful, heartwarming movie.

lol if you know what kind of person Shinhye is would would say that
And if you know how big this movie has debuted it you don't even have that thought
The gift of room 7 debuted with 2 millions viewers in 6 days ( just to make it clear, Werewolf boy got it first million in 5 days)
You can think it's a public stunt but they def don't need to do it if they don't like each other... that's all I'm saying

all i can say is that SH has a kind heart and it shows when there are only good things said about her by her co-actors and actresses that she's worked with and have remained close friends with...
and i'm happy to know that his drama father cared enough for her health to do this for her drama/series casts of Flower boy next door which by the way is also a great series to watch...
i can't wait to watch this movie, i sure am one of those who love heartwarming stories...
