‘Train To Busan’ star Gong Yoo asks Pinoys: ‘What is Papi?’

The Korean horror-suspense movie Train To Busan has taken the Philippines by storm and got Filipinos trudging to cinemas in huge packs — kind of like zombies.

Understandably, many are all smitten by the film’s leading man: South Korean actor and model Gong Yoo. But don’t forget about Sang-Hwa, the big softy father-to-be, played by South Korean actor Ma Dong-Seok!

As always, we Filipinos have no problem showing our love and appreciation for the hottest fund manager in the world and all this love has finally caught his attention!

On Sep 14, Wed, Gong Yoo posted a very important question on Twitter for his Filipino fans:

 

 

Yoo asks, “I was reading your messages and I am happy but what is ‘Papi?’ And why many call me ‘Daddy?’”

Could this man be more adorable?

For the record, ‘papi’ is a slang for ‘papa’ or ‘daddy.’

Apparently, a lot of Filipinos are calling Yoo their ‘papi’ or ‘daddy’… But definitely not in an innocent way, if you know what we mean.

Is Papi Gong Yoo also your favorite character from Train To Busan? Let us know!
