South Korean celebrity couple Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin, who became international sensations after their roles in the show Crash Landing on You, kicked off the New Year with a generous gesture. According to the Korean portal Soompi, the duo donated a total of ₩300 million (around Dh754,746. or 1.75 crore rupees) towards medical causes.

Hyun Bin and Ye-jin donated 150 million won (approximately Dhs 377,363 or 87.5 lakh rupees) each to the paediatrics and obstetrics-gynaecology departments at Asan and Samsung Medical Centers, in Seoul, South Korea.

The couple said in a statement, “We feel deeply grateful to be able to help others and want to share a bit of our hearts.” They added, “Every time I see my child growing up healthy, I can’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of guilt when thinking about children who are not as fortunate. I hope sick children can return to their bright, happy selves and grow healthy, shining in the world.”

The donation will help treat patients in need at Asan Medical Center, while funds given to Samsung Medical Center will support its pediatrics and obstetrics-gynecology departments.
