Actor Jang Keun Suk has always been praised for his active participation in charity works.

On Feb 21, Jang Keun Suk organized a charity bazaar in collaboration with a famous brand selling bags. Jang Keun Suk generously took out over 200 personal “treasures” for this event, and took good care of his fans who came the night before to queue.

The proceeds collected from the event totaling KRW50million are all donated to Miral Welfare Foundation. The funds will benefit 10 handicapped children and youths for their fees on operation and recovery treatment.

Jang Keun Suk, who is now busy with drama filming, personally attended the donation ceremony at the Foundation on the 5th this month. He shared, “I hope to create an opportunity for everyone to happily participate in charitable works, hence came up with the idea of this charity bazaar, and started the preparation. This precious donation encompasses the warm hearts of many, so I carefully thought about the use. I hope the money can be used more meaningfully, through medical assistance, help children with disabilities to live a better life.”

Jang Keun Suk SBS new drama “Daebak” will premiere from March 28, 10pm.
