Fellow actors and fans also joined in the congratulations after seeing the post. Photographer Jo Hee-seon commented, "You were handsome as a child and you're handsome now," while actor SangYup Lee jokingly said, "Sorry, but I think you're more handsome than your older brother." Lee Jong-hyuk responded playfully, "I'm truly grateful," drawing laughter. Actor Choi Seung-kyung also sent his support, saying, "Tak-soo looks great." Fans added comments such as, "Just looking at the photos, I can feel how proud his father must be," "An actor father and an actor son, that's so cool," and "Congratulations on your professional stage debut."
