Hyun Bin donates 200 million Korean won in fight vs Covid-19

Actor Hyun Bin was reported to have donated 200,000,000 won (P8.2 million) to the fight against coronavirus (Covid-19) in South Korea.

A report by Koreaboo.com said that Hyun secretly donated to the Community Chest of Korea, a non-profit organization.

Hyun's agency said that it is not aware of the actor's donation. Reports said that the "Crash Landing On You" actor even requested the organization to keep quiet about it until he wrote a letter on Instagram.

He wrote a letter on Instagram about the sorry state of coronavirus in South Korea. It was written in Korean and was later translated in English.

The letter read: "You might be spending day after day anxious and worrying over the Coronavirus disease 2019 which is occurring all over the world and throughout Asia including China and Japan as well as Korea. I’d like to ask after your health at least by writing to express my worry over whether the place you are at is safe;
⠀
"Just as we’ve always overcome difficulties by cheering each other on despite difficult times, I hope the Coronavirus disease 2019 passes by as soon as possible;

⠀
"I also appreciate those working tirelessly day and night to eradicate the virus, and I will cheer them on until the end. Furthermore, I sincerely wish the quick recovery of those suffering from its infection;
⠀
"Again, I hope all those reading this are able to maintain their safety and health from the virus and I will pray this incident safely passes by."
