The donation will be used to cover medical expenses such as treatment, surgery, and rehabilitation for pediatric patients in the Jeju area. At the donation ceremony on the 10th, Park Jin-young said, "I have two daughters aged five and four. When they sometimes get sick and we go to the hospital, it feels very heavy on my heart," adding, "I wondered how parents would feel if they were also struggling financially, and this led me to donate for medical expenses."
