Actress Ku Hye-sun has decided to donate profits from her soon-to-open exhibition for charity.

The multi-talented actress will donate all profits from her private exhibition, dubbed “Afterimage,” for the smooth running of Clean Car, the vehicle for low-income leukemia patients, according to YG Entertainment’s press release Friday.

Ku’s second art exhibition after her 2009 exhibition, "Tango," will open for seven days from September 18 at Hangaram Art Museum Gallery 7 in Seoul, Korea

“I wish I can help the Clean Car take patients safe and spread hope everywhere," Ku expresses her willingness in the statement. To promote the event, the actress also posted one of her most representative works, “Duck Candy [translated title]" on her official Twitter account.

Ku is known for having many titles under her name including actress, singer-songwriter, artist, novelist, director and scriptwriter.

Her breakthrough came in 2006 when she appeared in KBS' TV series "Pure in Heart," and her other popular TV shows include "Boys Over Flowers" (KBS, 2009), "The Musical" (SBS, 2011) and "Take Care of Us Captain" (SBS, 2012).
