Why did Shin Min-ah donate 3.7 billion won? Her 15 years of secret good deeds

Shin Min-ah is making headlines after the belated news of her donation of 3.7 billion won came to light. We have compiled the reasons behind this quiet act of kindness that has continued for 15 years since 2009.

 

There's a heartwarming story that's been causing quite a stir on online communities and social media lately. Have you all seen it? 🥹 Right away The story of 3.7 billion won that quietly withdrew from actress Shin Min-ah's bank account over a whopping 15 years That is it. I heard that the person strongly urged me never to tell anyone, but I will summarize how this became known to the world, and exactly where and how much was spent.

 

 

1. How did the '3.7 billion won heartwarming story' become known?

It all started with a post uploaded to a community by someone identifying themselves as an official from a foundation. The gist of it was: "At first, I thought it was a mistake. Large sums were appearing every month since 2009, and it turned out to be Shin Min-ah." That was it.

 

This official Shin Min-ah asked that the money be used to cover the treatment costs of burn patients and support study rooms for low-income children, saying, "Do not reveal this under any circumstances." He added.

 

like that I heard that over 3.7 billion won has been donated secretly over the past 15 years. It was a dragon, but since the exact source and which foundation this text belongs to have not been specifically revealed, please just use it for reference.

 

 

2. The cumulative donation amount is estimated to be over 4 billion won.

 

This is not the first time Shin Min-ah's good deeds have been known. The fact that the cumulative donation amount over 15 years reached 4 billion won was already a hot topic last year (2025). The key point is that they have consistently supported vulnerable groups since 2009. That's right. It felt even more amazing to me because it wasn't all put together overnight, but rather built up little by little over a really long period of time ✨

 

 

3. Where and how was it written?

 

If you look at the fields of support, they are much more diverse than you might think.

• Support Program for Study Room Teachers for Low-Income Children
• Support for burn patient treatment costs (Hallym Burn Foundation)
• Heating cost support for elderly living alone
• Support projects for North Korean defector women and children
• Donations delivered in the event of various disasters such as COVID-19, wildfires, earthquakes, and floods

 

In particular, since 2015, I have been donating 100 million won annually to the Hallym Burn Foundation. As of January 2025, the cumulative donations have reached 1 billion won, and through this, 201 burn patients have received support for treatment and surgery. Seeing the numbers really makes it feel different. 😭

 

 

4. Donation not forgotten even on the wedding day

Even on the day she married actor Kim Woo-bin last December, Shin Min-ah continued her good deeds. The couple jointly donated a total of 300 million won to various organizations, including the Hallym Burn Foundation, Asan Medical Center, and Good Friends. That's exactly what happened. The fact that he took care of things like this even on the biggest event of my life, my wedding... I realized there's a reason people say he's truly an angel.

 

 

5. "The Reason We Now Share Donations That Were Donated in Secret"

 

Actually, Shin Min-ah said that she didn't want her donation to be known in the past. In an interview at the time of the release of Netflix's 'Bad Luck'. "In the past, I thought that when donating, good deeds should be done in secret." He has revealed that before. However, he says there was an incident that changed his mind a little. Realizing that "when influential people donate, more people are encouraged to participate," I felt that "it would be nice if an article about a donation were published, inspiring even just one person to have a good idea." They say they have come to view it that way. It is the very essence of positive influence 👍
