[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] Actor Oh Jung-se's heartwarming story of spending time together at an amusement park with his fan Bae Beom-jun, who has an intellectual disability, has been a hot topic for days.

Bae Ji-soo, the younger sibling of Bae who arranged the meeting between the two, revealed in an interview with a media outlet on the 26th, "Oh Jung-se continued to worry about us even after the news reports."

Ji-soo said, "After the news coverage, actor Oh Jung-se contacted us. Since we are ordinary people, he was concerned about the publicity," adding, "I thought it was only right to share Oh Jung-se's positive influence, so I posted about it on Instagram."

He shared the heartwarming story, saying, "Oh Jung-se recently played the role of Moon Sang-tae, who has autism, in the tvN drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay.' There was a scene where Sang-tae was crying, and my brother felt sad along with him and said he wanted to meet and comfort him. Oh Jung-se treated my brother with consideration all day long, portraying Sang-tae exactly as in the drama ? from hairstyle, clothes, speech, to walking."

About his brother, he explained, "Usually, my brother is very reliable. When people hear about siblings with disabilities, they often assume the non-disabled siblings take on the role of older siblings, but my brother, who has a disability, protects and takes care of me."

Earlier on the 25th, Ji-soo revealed Oh Jung-se's heartwarming story on her Instagram account.

She said, "In a drama scene where Sang-tae went to a fan signing event for writer Ko Moon-young and screamed while crying, my brother felt sad with Sang-tae and said he needed to comfort and protect him. Since then, my brother kept saying he wanted to meet Sang-tae. He would always sing out loud in front of me about all the things he wanted to do with Sang-tae, like going to Lotte World and the Daewoo bus camping car," she shared.

Regarding the arrangement of the meeting, she explained, "Due to my brother's strong urging, I conveyed this story, and Sang-tae (Oh Jung-se) agreed to meet my brother. Every moment I spent with Oh Jung-se and my brother was full of emotion and surprise."

She continued, "Despite his busy schedule, I could feel how much research, thought, and effort he put in before meeting my brother. At Lotte World, as soon as my brother met Sang-tae, they rode the hot air balloon, monorail, Fantasy Dream Train, jungle boat, and bumper cars. Oh Jung-se became a friend at my brother's eye level, continuously talking and fully focusing on him."

Bae Beom-jun also reminisced about his time with Oh Jung-se on Instagram that day, writing, "When you meet an angel, the light is dazzling. You can't look directly. Tears come. Both before and after meeting, it was such a dazzling time that I want to take it out piece by piece."

Meanwhile, Oh Jung-se is appearing as Moon Sang-tae, the older brother of Moon Kang-tae (played by Kim Soo-hyun) who has a developmental disability, in the tvN weekend drama 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay.'
