What is Kim Go Eun's net worth? Korean actress donates over $44K to children's hospital

South Korean actress Kim Go Eun has joined a growing list of celebrities to make a donation, marking Children's Day in Korea. The "Cheese in the Trap" actress recently made a donation to Seoul National University Children's Hospital.

According to Soompi, Kim made a donation of 50 million won (approximately $44,483) to the hospital. The donation will be used to support low-income children and adolescents who cannot afford treatment due to financial reasons.

Kim expressed deep sympathy over the pain of sick children and their families and wanted to help them directly. The "Tune in for Love" actress said in a press statement regarding the donation:

"I wish these children can go to school and meet their friends as soon as possible. I hope my small donation will be of some help, and I want to continue to give material and emotional support to them."

This is not the first time Kim has made a large donation to those in need. Last year, Kim donated 100 million won (approximately $82,640) to a Korean NGO, Good Neighbors, to provide 40,000 masks for low-income families in South Korea during the coronavirus pandemic.
