To thank the "Battleship Island" staff for their hard work, the rumoured boyfriend of Song Hye-kyo gave the candles, worth about 50,000 won or $42 each, said some of his staffs on Friday.
Soompi reported, it is his way of expressing his gratitude to the film's workers for sharing the joy and sorrows of making the movie.

The website further informs that the Ryu Seung directed movie Battleship Island is about 400 Joseon captives in "Battleship Island" who have placed their lives at stake to flee from the forced labor on the island.
Apart from Song Joong-ki, who was again in news recently for the rumoured breakup with Song Hye-kyo, the other stars of the movie include Hwang Jung Min, So Ji Sub and Lee Jung Hyun.
Song Joong-ki's "Battleship Island" is scheduled for screening in 2018. Apart from it, the fans of Song Joong-ki are also waiting for him in "Train to Busan 2" where he is playing a zombie.
