K-actor Lee Seung-gi donates $2.1m to children’s hospital in Seoul

In an Instagram post on Thursday, the 35-year-old wrote in Korean: “I wanted to spend the money more meaningfully since it was returned to me. I visited the site and saw the harsh reality with my own eyes.”

He visited Seoul National University Children’s Hospital and saw up to 14 people, including seven children and their guardians, in one hospital room. “I donated two billion won a while ago and I am on my way back now,” he wrote. “I hope it will be some comfort for the young patients and their families, as I sincerely hope they can overcome their illnesses in a better environment and return to their daily lives.”

According to the South Korean media, part of the hospital’s wing may be named after him in recognition of his donation.
