Regarding the concerns that the setting of “The Golden Spoon” may encourage materialism, director Song said, “The ridicule that the wealth and assets of parents determine their child’s fate is famous in society. ‘The Golden Spoon’ made a lot of efforts to convey our individual desires and the current circumstance in a straightforward, easy and honest way.”

When asked why he chose “The Golden Spoon” as his comeback work after being discharged from the military, Yook Sung-jae said, “I played bright and light characters in my previous works ‘Mystic Pop-up Bar’ and ‘Goblin’. I think I can show the viewers something heavier and more serious this time. I selected this work to expand my acting spectrum and also because of director Song”. He added, “This is a work that I’ve done with greater responsibility and passion. I’ve poured out all of my passion in 2022 for ‘The Golden Spoon’. It’s like a big gift to me”, showing his determination.
