The Significance of Yonsama’s Pinky Ring?

Top actor, BYJ, went as far as using a helicopter on October 18 to preserve his friendship. BYJ attended the wedding of actors Park Seong Woong and Shin Eun Jeong at the Damyung Vivaldi Park. Afterwards, he participated in Culture Day 2008 at the Cultural Arts Center where he was awarded the National Order of Culture Merit.

On this day, besides YJ’s “helicopter transport strategy “which caught the fans’ attention, there was one other matter catching the fans’ eyes. That was the ring shining on BYJ’s left pinky.

BYJ is, of course, a hallyu star with numerous fans in Korea and also abroad. His popularity is enormous and he gives off an air of friendliness. But to see BYJ in the flesh is only possible at a rare public event that he attends or through a project he appears in. On October 18 BYJ’s public appearance was enough to arouse the interest of all fans in every aspect. Among the points of interest was his ring.

Why did BYJ wear a pinky ring on his left hand? Some fans are frantically searching for a reason behind the ring. According to a staff member close to BYJ, there definitely is a meaning to the pinky ring.

This staff person said on October 20, “About the time that the drama WS began broadcasting in 2002 (KBS2), BYJ would buy himself a new ring each time that a project would end.”

Then, “Mainly, I have heard that whenever a project ended, he would buy himself a new ring which would have significance only to him. The significance of the ring is a privacy issue so I don’t have the details. I think that the ring he wore on October 18 is probably such a ring,” he informed us.

p.s. actually, yea, wuri yong joon did say in the past that he had the habit of buying a new pinky ring after completing each drama or movie project. and he also said that the ring somehow gave him comfort. not sure if this still holds true, in that he still buys a ring after each project.
