South Korean actor Byeon Woo-seok received unexpected good news recently. A child at a care facility in Seoul’s Yongsan District successfully completed medical treatment thanks to the actor’s donation.
The update came through an Instagram comment on August 5 from a former staff member of the children’s care facility. The person, who appeared with Byeon on the Netflix variety show “Yoo Jae-suk’s Camp” , shared the news directly with the actor.
“Team leader, there is something I want to tell you. I heard that a child at the children’s care facility in Yongsan District, where I used to work, was able to complete treatment safely thanks to your donation. Your warm heart reached a place that is precious to me, and it feels amazing and fills my heart. You have given great hope to a child. Thank you and I respect you.”
Byeon responded with joy, saying, “This is truly happy news”.
