This transpired at his June 21, 2024, press conference at Shangri-La The Fort Hotel ahead of his fan meeting. The actor is set to meet his fans at the New Frontier Theater as part of his Asia Fanmeeting Tour: Summer Letter in Manila, on June 22, 2024. Kring Kim chaired the press conference, arranged by promoter Pulp Live World at 4 pm in the hotel's Bonifacio Hall.

The Lovely Runner star walked to each table and handed a rose to every journalist present. The gesture stunned everyone, and the actor's kindness moved the journalists.

The significance of a yellow rose is related to the actor's K-drama, Lovely Runner, in which he meets Im Sol (played by Kim Hye-yoon) for the first time while she is carrying a yellow umbrella and running towards him. Additionally, a yellow rose universally symbolizes friendship and care, which further impressed the journalists.
