The fan union announced it on February 16th the donation was made to celebrate Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday. The entire sum will be used to cover surgical expenses for children with heart disease who have difficulty receiving treatment due to financial difficulties.
The initiative was voluntarily organized by fans who were inspired by Kim Soo Hyun’s long-standing commitment to charitable donations and volunteer work. Over the years, the actor has consistently demonstrated a positive influence through quiet philanthropy, motivating his fans to reflect his values ​​through meaningful actions rather than simple celebrations.
This year’s donation has even deeper meaning in light of Kim Soo Hyun’s personal story. In the past, he underwent heart surgery due to a heart condition and was initially classified as a grade 4 during his first military physical exam. However, through continued health management and review, he was reclassified as Grade 1 in 2017 and subsequently enlisted into active duty. He faithfully performed his military service, leaving an indelible mark on the public with his sense of responsibility and determination.
Remembering his resilience and principled choices, the fan union decided to commemorate his birthday not only with congratulatory messages but with an act of donation that could create a tangible impact. They selected the Korea Heart Foundation specifically to support patients battling heart disease, hoping to provide real and immediate help to children in need of surgery.
A representative of the supporters’ union stated: “Fans around the world have come together to celebrate Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday in a more meaningful way. We hope this donation will become a source of hope for many patients currently undergoing treatment for heart disease.” The representative added it they plan to continue supporting the actor as they engage in activities that spread positive influence in society.
Through this collective gesture, Kim Soo Hyun’s birthday has once again become more than a personal milestone: it has become a time of shared compassion, ensuring that the spirit of giving reaches the children who need it most.
