The gold bars that this fan gave were not the typical square-shaped gold bars that we know, but were shaped like gold coins that you would see in a martial arts film. Each gold coin is said to weigh between 100 and 200 grams, but even 100 grams is a whopping 10 million won.

With that much wealth, it would be worth giving gold bars as a gift.

Not only that. The bracelet worn by the fan in the video is presumed to be a product of the famous jewelry brand Van Cleef & Arpels, and depending on the model, it is confirmed that this bracelet is also expensive, worth tens of millions of won, which is another surprise.

The8, a Chinese national, is an excellent dancer who has been learning martial arts and b-boying since childhood. While attending the Beijing Contemporary Music Academy, he was noticed by an official and was offered a casting offer. At the age of 16, he came to Korea and began his life as a trainee.

He shows off his charismatic side on stage, but he is usually calm and composed. The members who have been with him for a long time all say that he is sincere, open-minded, and mature.

One thing that shows his personality well is that he enjoys meditation and tea ceremony even though he is still young, in his 20s. He says that through tea ceremony, he not only becomes more calm, but also learns more about himself and the people around him.

Not only that. Last year, on 'Business Trip 15 Nights' with the members of 'Seventeen', when it was revealed that Boo Seung-kwan had hidden a yogurt without anyone knowing, he quietly made everyone laugh with some really bone-chilling words.

Let's live honestly!

Moreover, in a quiz event where prizes were at stake, he, unlike the other members who were blinded by materialism, showed himself enjoying small happiness by saying, "The weather is so nice. This is a gift."

Considering his usual personality, it is not surprising that he returned the gold bars he received from fans without hesitation.
