On the February 9 episode of the JTBC entertainment show “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator”, actors Son Seok-gu and Hyun Bong-sik appeared as guests. Here, Son Seok-gu confessed that doesn’t drink much, even saying, “I drink a glass of soju for two hours. During these two hours, I was just wetting my lips as I drink.”
The actor also said, “I don’t have a car, so (Hyun Bong-sik) comes to see me.” When Kim Sung-joo was surprised and said, “I think you drive a sports car,” Son Seok-gu replied, “I take a taxi. I walk if it’s within 5km.”
The fact that Son Seok-gu has no car came as a shock to many people, as he was known to be extremely wealthy and the CEO of a company with huge annual profits.
In fact, Son Seok-gu is currently the CEO of a manufacturing company located in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon. The company is known to be a machine tool manufacturer founded in July 2003. He has been involved in the company’s management since before he began acting, and owns a 34.3% stake.
The company’s annual sales is as high as 5.5 billion won (approx 3.7 million USD), going beyond imagination for many people.
In particular, Son Seok-gu’s father served as the CEO of the company’s predecessor, and it seems that the company’s operation has been passed down as a family business. Not only has he been successful as an actor, but he has also demonstrated his ability in business management, and his track record is considered to be truly ‘multi-talented’.
Son Seok-gu is perfectly maintaining the dual titles of CEO and actor while simultaneously handling acting and corporate management, though there are talks that he is currently concentrating more on acting.
On the other hand, born in 1983, Son Seok-gu debuted in the 2016 movie “Black Stone” and made his face known to the public through the 2017 drama “Sense 8″ (directed by The Wachowskis), starring Bae Doo-na. Since then, he has appeared in a number of works. Son Seok-gu later became famous thanks to his performance in “Designated Survivor: 60 Days”.
He has since made various notable appearances in hits and critically acclaimed works such as “My Liberation Notes”, “Big Bet”, “D.P.”, and so on.
Meanwhile, Son Seok-gu also debuted as a director with the movie “Unframed”. Unlike the image of his character in “Unframed”, Son Seok-gu surprised everyone with his warm directing.
