Actors Son Ye-jin and Hyun Bin have extended a helping hand to children facing difficult circumstances.
According to their agencies, MSteam Entertainment and VAST Entertainment, the couple recently donated 150 million KRW(approximately 102,075 USD) to Asan Medical Center to support medical treatment for underprivileged patients. They also donated an additional 150 million KRW to Samsung Medical Center, specifically for the development of its pediatric and obstetrics departments.
The couple, who have consistently engaged in charitable activities for low-income and critically ill pediatric patients, as well as single mothers, continued their tradition of giving at the end of last year.
Through their agencies, the couple expressed their sentiments, saying, “We feel incredibly grateful that we are able to help someone in need and wish to share even a small part of our hearts. We hope that our warm gesture reaches someone who may be going through a tough time at this very moment.”
They added, “Whenever we see our child growing up healthy, we can’t help but feel a sense of guilt for children who aren’t as fortunate. We deeply hope that these children can return to their bright, innocent selves and light up the world with their health and happiness.”
The donations will be used to provide medical support for patients in difficult circumstances at Asan Medical Center and to fund pediatric and obstetrics programs at Samsung Medical Center through its development fund.
