Yoon Kyungho completes 13-hour silence pledge
The actor stayed silent from 7 a.m. on July 13 after SBS drama Agent Kim Reactivated cleared the 13% ratings mark tied to his pledge.
Actor Yoon Kyungho completed the 13-hour vow of silence he had made as a ratings pledge for the SBS Friday-Saturday drama Agent Kim Reactivated.
Yoon finished the pledge through a social media live broadcast on the afternoon of July 13. He began staying silent at 7 a.m. that day and continued through his schedule, including an appearance on SBS Power FM's Cultwo Show and a later fan signing event.
After the 13 hours ended, Yoon said, 'I thought I should not speak carelessly. Since I could not talk, my thoughts sounded like words to me. Even though I was not speaking, it was so noisy. The sounds inside me were louder instead.'
Yoon also said his family supported the pledge, adding, 'Because Dad was not talking, the children did not talk in the morning either.'
Yoon had said at the production presentation for Agent Kim Reactivated that he would remain silent for 13 hours if the drama surpassed 13% in ratings. The pledge took effect after the drama reached 15% after 2 episodes, based on Nielsen Korea's nationwide standard.
