Suzy Gave ‘Doona!’ Staff Expensive Gifts During Filming

Bae Suzy and Yang Se Jong recently made a guest appearance in an episode of “Salon Drip” where they discussed working on their hit show. At one point, the host asked Jang Do Yeon about Suzy’s generosity when they were filming for “Doona!” Not surprisingly, Yang had a delightful story to share.

He revealed that despite the show’s summer setting, the production faced the harshness of winter during filming. The dedicated staff endured challenging conditions, working tirelessly outdoors in the cold.

Suzy, who is known for her caring nature, decided to warm the hearts of the staff. She gifted each team member expensive gifts to combat the cold. Yang Se Jong revealed that Suzy “gave super expensive scarves to every one of the staff members.” Suzy went the extra mile, not only purchasing a collection of Acne Studio scarves, some priced as high as $420 USD each but also personally wrapping them.

Surprisingly, the substantial cost of these Christmas gifts didn’t faze Suzy in the least. What truly touched her was the staff’s happiness upon receiving the thoughtful tokens of appreciation. Suzy’s gesture warmed not only their bodies but their spirits as well.

“Doona!” is a romantic drama series based on a beloved webtoon. The story centers around the experiences of Lee Doona, a former idol as she encounters Lee Wonjun, a regular college student, in a shared living arrangement. The new series premiered on Netflix on October 20, 2023

In the one-minute trailer, Suzy captivated the viewers’ attention with her jaw-dropping visuals. For this drama, Suzy will be playing the role of Doona, a former K-pop idol who left her glamorous celebrity life.

Meanwhile, Yang Se Jong will play the role of an ordinary college student named Won Jun. His simple life will then change as he ends up sharing a house and falling in love with the mysterious Doona.

As seen in the preview teaser, Won Jun immediately gets starstruck upon seeing Doona as she enjoys the morning sun. Falling head over heels for her, Won Jun exclaims: “It’s my fault. Overstepping the mark without the conviction to do so”.

Then, things begin to escalate as the characters spend time together and the tension between them gets higher. The teaser ends with the two closing in for a kiss and Doona saying: “I’m telling you this just in case, but don’t fall for me either”.

Moreover, Netflix also released the drama’s posters with the characters’ intriguing lines. In the couple’s poster, it read: “What will you do if I actually end up falling for you?”
