In April 2019, he donated ₩50 million for Gangwon wildfire relief. According to the Salvation Army, even his manager hadn’t known.
There are plenty of reasons to be a Song Seung Heon fan. We can discuss the dramas, the smile and those eyebrows for quite some time. Some of us have practically made a hobby of it.
But every so often, an old news story gives us another reason to admire him.
This one involves a donation, a phone call and a manager who apparently had some catching up to do.
A Gift During a Terrible Spring

On the morning of April 12, Song Seung Heon donated ₩50 million to the Salvation Army for wildfire recovery, approximately US$44,000 at the time, according to Korea JoongAng Daily.
The detail that stayed with me was how the donation came to light.
