After performing “Small Girl,” she revealed that he gifted her a Rolex watch!

Ever since the music video shoot, he kept asking me if there was anything I wanted, and I kept saying “nothing, nothing,” but he kept asking. So, as a joke, thinking he wouldn’t actually do it, I said, “Buy me a Porsche.” And in the end, he bought me a Rolex that’s pretty close to a Porsche. I seriously almost fainted, but he kept asking if I liked it or not, and even said I could be honest if I didn’t. I just sat down and cried (exaggerating).

I told him I’d wear it until I retire, but he told me not to overdo it and said I was so sweet. He didn’t believe me, so I said I’d wear it and show him when I’m buried in my coffin. So, please live longer than me, Mark! I’ll really cherish and wear it well. Thank you so much for not only calling me for a great song but also for this thoughtful gift.

— Lee Young Ji

The luxurious gift sparked polarizing reactions from fans: Some felt as if such a grand gift was an excessive gesture.

Meanwhile, others believed that Mark is entitled to spend his money in whatever ways he wants.

However, this isn’t the first time they have shown their friendship through thoughtful gestures — She once got him a support truck that went viral as she’s a big fan of his!
