No one knew about the donation as he did not even tell his agency about it. Hyun Bin also reportedly asked the organization to keep it a secret.
Last Feb. 21, the South Korean actor released a letter through his agency’s Instagram account, wishing for the “quick recovery” of those affected by the COVID-19.
He also asked the public to “maintain their safety and health from the virus.”
“I will pray this incident safely passes by,” Hyun Bin wrote.
Reports claimed he made his secret donation after releasing the letter.
His CLOY co-star Son Ye-jin was earlier reported to have donated 100 million won (about P4.1 million) to her hometown Daegu, the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in South Korea.
