Popular trot singer Kim Hee Jae recently made a heartwarming donation of 700,000 KRW (~480 USD) to the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

This program covers various medical expenses such as surgery, hospital treatments, transplants, orphan drug purchases, and aids for hospital care.
Expressing gratitude for Kim Hee Jae's compassionate gesture, Hong Seung Yoon, the director of the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation, highlighted the positive impact of fans and artists coming together to support those in need. He commended Kim Hee Jae for his altruistic actions and expressed anticipation for his future endeavors in the entertainment industry.
