Suzy Praised for Outstanding Reputation, Like an Extra Team Member on Set
What Director Jang Hang-jun said
Director Jang Hang-jun recently made headlines when he named Suzy as one of the top three actors with the best personalities in the entertainment industry. During a candid discussion on a YouTube video, Jang praised Suzy for not only her professionalism but also her remarkable character, adding to the growing admiration she enjoys from both industry insiders and fans alike.
On October 9, Jang shared his experiences working with various actors, highlighting those known for their exceptional conduct. In response to an anonymous question, “Who are the top three actors with the best personalities that you’ve met?” Jang carefully considered before naming Ahn Jae-hong, Kang Ha-neul, and Suzy, without ranking them. Each, he said, left a lasting impression on him for different reasons.
Starting with Ahn Jae-hong, Jang described him as a kind-hearted person who blended effortlessly with the crew. “Ahn Jae-hong gets along really well with the staff. We filmed in Andong for a long time, and even on his days off, I’d see him walking around quietly. He gives off this calm, introverted vibe, which makes him endearing. He’s someone who you can feel at ease with, no matter where you are.”
Comedian Song Eun-yi, who was present during the conversation, chimed in, “I’ve been on set with Ahn Jae-hong a few times. He’s shy but has this sharp wit, and he creates a comfortable atmosphere wherever he is.”
Next, Jang praised Kang Ha-neul, sharing how the actor’s approachable nature set him apart. “A lot of actors tend to stay in their cars during breaks, but Kang Ha-neul? He would go out and talk with the lunch truck ladies. He genuinely enjoys being around people, which is rare.”
Then came the moment Jang mentioned Suzy, setting the stage with a strong introduction. “I’ve only met her once, but…” he began. What followed was nothing short of admiration. “Her reputation in the industry is exceptional. Among actresses, people love working with her. It’s like having an extra staff member on set, someone who’s not just there to act, but also supports the team in any way she can. That’s rare among actresses,” Jang added.
Song Eun-yi had her own story to share about Suzy, recalling a time they played tennis together. “We played a few games of tennis, and afterward, I noticed four air coolers on the court that weren’t there before. Suzy had donated them, so people could play tennis more comfortably during the summer. That’s the kind of person she is—thoughtful and generous, even when no one is looking.”
Jang continued to emphasize Suzy’s incredible attitude, especially when it comes to listening and working well with the crew. “Her willingness to listen is extraordinary. It shows just how much respect she has for others and how seriously she takes her work.”
This glowing praise from industry veterans has only reinforced Suzy's reputation as one of the most well-liked actresses in the Korean entertainment industry, both on and off set. But it's not just her colleagues who hold her in high regard—netizens have also shared their admiration online.
Netizens' comments
One fan commented, “Suzy is not only beautiful on the outside but has a heart of gold. No wonder she’s loved by so many people.” Another wrote, “Her kindness and humility are what set her apart. She’s truly one of a kind.” Yet another remarked, “It’s amazing how someone so famous can still be so down-to-earth. She deserves every bit of success she gets.”
One netizen added, “Suzy’s generosity, like donating air coolers for tennis courts, is just one example of her thoughtful nature. It’s clear she’s a wonderful person, inside and out.” Many echoed similar sentiments, praising her not just for her talent but also for the way she carries herself with grace and humility.
With such a glowing reputation, it’s no wonder Suzy continues to dominate not only the screen but also the hearts of many. Her work ethic, generosity, and kind spirit make her an inspiring figure in an industry where true character often shines the brightest.
