The actress later revealed on her fan platform that the sender of the envelope was none other than EXO member DO (Do Kyung Soo), a close friend of her boyfriend Lee Kwang Soo.
According to Lee Sun Bin, he jokingly asked DO to send his birthday wishes before midnight. Not only did he keep his promise, but he reportedly went all out, putting all the money he had at home, including bills and even small coins, into the envelope.
“There were banknotes, but also 800 won in coins, including 100- and 500-won pieces,” Lee Sun Bin said with humor. “It’s really ‘Teacher Do’ style. I was grateful, but honestly the coins made me laugh and annoy me at the same time.” He added that the mixed red envelope of cash and coins perfectly reflects DO’s unique personality.
Fan reaction was quick, expressing amusement and disbelief at the gesture. Many commented that DO had actually done it “he emptied his house” for the birthday present, while others praised the warm, familial bond between the three celebrities.
In fact, Lee Kwang Soo and DO have already shown their close friendship on the tvN variety show The beans are sproutingand Lee Sun Bin is known to share a warm, brother-like relationship with EXO member. This birthday episode further highlighted their genuine off-screen chemistry.
