"she knows we'll point out her handwriting helpp"
The My Mister actress's message, along with the messages by other cast members of When Life Gives You Tangerines, was shared on Netflix's social media on April 7. The personalised message read,
"Thank you so much for being with “When Life Gives You Tangerines.” I hope it remains like a cup of warm tangerine tea that you sip slowly over a long time.<3 Though my handwriting isn’t good, I’m carefully writing this with the prettiest part of my sincerity. I’ll be cheering for you. Let’s live well!<3 Let’s see each other for a long time <3 throughout our lives. From IU Aesun Geum-myeong"
