Social media is buzzing with what Jinyoung of B1A4 did after seeing Korean first lady Kim Jung-sook get soaked in the rain.

In a video uploaded by public policy broadcaster Korea TV on Friday, Kim and B1A4 member are featured attending the opening ceremony of the 12th Gwangju Biennale on Thursday. Jinyoung was invited as the promotional ambassador for the event.

Jinyoung was wearing a raincoat amid the heavy rain. But upon spotting Kim, who refused any umbrella or raincoat, greeting people in the rain, Jinyoung also took off his raincoat.

The singer’s behavior was praised by online users, with comments such as “He is very sensible and has good manners” and “He knows how to mingle. He will do great in any organization.”

The annual art event will be held through Nov. 11 in the city of Gwangju.

Singer-actor Jinyoung held his first solo fan meeting “Jinyoung, Fly More” in Korea on Sunday. He is also considering roles in TV dramas and working on music at his personal studio, “J. Ground.”
