Jang Keun Suk seems to have a heart as big as his popularity, as he just keeps giving and giving!
The star's been in the media quite often lately for his charitable deeds. Recently, he donated $1.2 million to his alma mater, Hanyang University, and still felt that he had more to give, as he has just been reported to have donated another $30,000!
Officials of his agency disclosed on December 29, "What we know is that he donated $10,000 to an orphanage in Kangnam, $10,000 to world vision, and $10,000 to an event that gives out heating briquettes. In total, he donated $30,000 to spread his love."
The officials continued, "Jang Keun Suk is always thankful for his fans' love. He tries to give back as much as he receives, and that's why he started donating as a medium for that. He's been donating and volunteering for quite a while before this. For obvious reasons, he doesn't like his deeds being shared with the media and tries very hard to keep it hidden."
"These donations won't stop with the year-end. He'll be continuing his efforts like he has been for the past several years," they concluded.
