On August 10, Seoul National University Children’s Hospital revealed that Kim Ji Won donated 100 million won (approximately $70,000) on August 7 to support medical expenses for child patients from low-income families and improve facilities in worn-out hospital wards.

Kim Ji Won shared, “I decided on making the donation after coming across stories of the struggles of medical staff and sick children up close while filming for the drama ‘Doctor X.’ I sincerely want to express my gratitude and support to the medical staff, patients, and their families who are continuing to do their best even now.”

Seoul National University Children’s Hospital’s Director Chae Jong Hee shared, “We will use this valuable donation to help families of children struggling with the burden of medical expenses and to ensure that children who come to the hospital from across the country with hope can focus on their treatment in a safe and child-friendly environment.”
