[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Actor Kim Woobin donated 100 million won to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and protect vulnerable groups from infection, and additionally donated his entire narration fee to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation.


Kim Woobin's agency, AM Entertainment, announced on the 19th, "On the 18th, Kim Woobin participated in the narration of MBC's anniversary special documentary 'Humanimal' and donated the entire fee he received to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation."


They added, "After hearing that children with weakened immune systems due to cancer treatment were struggling to obtain masks because of COVID-19, he decided to make the donation."


Seo Seonwon, Secretary General of the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation, said, "Starting with the support of 995 kits containing antibacterial supplies on the 4th, we are taking the best possible measures for children with cancer who are vulnerable to infection," and expressed gratitude, saying, "Due to the rise in mask prices caused by COVID-19, it has been difficult to secure necessary supplies, so we are thankful to actor Kim Woobin for providing essential help at a crucial time."


The Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation plans to use the entire donated fund to purchase masks and provide emergency support to families of pediatric cancer patients nationwide.



Meanwhile, the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation is known to have first connected with Kim Woobin when his fans donated in his name after learning about his diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer.
