When Korean actors are working on movies or drama series, there is a tradition of fans and friends (often fellow celebrities) sending food trucks to the shooting location as a gesture of support.
So when Choi Woo-shik was working on a drama series, his good friend Park Seo-joon felt the need to show his support.
Also being a prankster, Park Seo-joon not only sent a food truck, he also shamelessly promoted his own movie Midnight Runners at the same time.

No matter how busy they are, they make sure to see each other at least once a week. IU even made a song dedicated to Yoo In-na!
Song Title: 너 (You)
Lyrics:
Somewhere far away, looking at something unrelated,
a bit lonely, I’m thinking of you, the one I want to see.
My heart aching, are you doing this on purpose?
And you? Are you lovely today as well?
Is the sky where you are
the same sky as the one here?
If you stop for a while in your walk,
then please think of me too for a while,
On a pitch-black, star-less night
I’m thinking of you, only you.
IU said that she wrote the song when she spent a week in a place without any connectivity during the shooting of the drama “Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo”.
Yoo In-na is 11 years older than IU, but the age difference doesn’t seem to be a factor; through the lyrics of the songs we can see just how much they value their friendship!
