[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Actress Kim Bu-seon revealed that she sent a donation of '18 won' to former Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae. This contrasts with her previous donation of 100,000 won to former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol.

On the 28th, Kim Bu-seon stated on her Facebook, "I sent the donation to presidential candidate Chu Mi-ae without any hesitation," and shared a photo showing the 18 won deposited to the support committee.

The number '18' sounds identical to a Korean curse word, so sending a donation of 18 won has become a way to express protest against politicians.

In another Facebook post, Kim Bu-seon shared an article about her 18 won donation, adding, "A generous donation, but lately I've developed a tendency to waste."

Previously, Kim Bu-seon publicly declared her support by donating 100,000 won to former Prosecutor General Yoon. Yoon and former Minister Chu were involved in the so-called 'Chu-Yoon conflict.'

On July 26, the first day Yoon started fundraising, Kim Bu-seon wrote on her Facebook, "I donated to a politician for the first time in my life. Hey, it feels good. If masks sell well, I'll donate again." She added, "A Facebook friend happened to share the donation account," and "Don't misunderstand, no backing from the People Power Party (Gukminui Him)."
