Three months ago, actor Oh Ji Ho met with a child diagnosed with leukemia, and the details of their meeting are finally being revealed.

A representative from the Korea Make-A-Wish Foundation explained, ‘On August 26th, Oh Ji Ho met his wish child, who he got to know through Twitter.‘ The child’s name is Kim Ji Yoon, and although she’s five years old, she’s suffering from acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Oh Ji Ho met Ji Yoon at Busan Haeundae, and the two shared a meal at a family restaurant. Part of Ji Yoon’s wish was to get married to Oh Ji Ho, so she put on a pretty crown and beautiful dress. However, because Oh Ji Ho was so good looking, she became very nervous after seeing him in person.

Oh Ji Ho talked with Ji Yoon and gave her a bear and an autographed baseball he prepared himself. The child was very thankful to Oh Ji Ho, who was able to offer warmth and love despite his busy schedule.



Oh Ji Ho’s management company, Heavenly Star Entertainment, expressed, ‘We are not sure about the exact details of Oh Ji Ho’s meeting with the child. When the Twitter news became a hot topic, a lot of broadcasting companies wanted to film this story, but it was rejected.‘

The story had its origins when a volunteer wrote on their personal Twitter in June, “A child with leukemia wants to meet with Invincible Baseball’s Oh Ji Ho. Does anyone know the Twitters of the production crew or Oh Ji Ho himself?‘

The tweet spread like wildfire until eventually it reached Oh Ji Ho. Oh Ji Ho then contacted the volunteer and promised to meet Kim Ji Yoon.

It’s always so nice to hear celebrities making a difference in someone’s life.
