Actor Jang Geun Suk has donated 7,100 kg of rice to the less fortunate through the help of his fans.

The rice was originally given to the celebrity by his fans during the press conference of his latest drama, “Love Rain”. The actor has now donated the rice to Gangnam District Office in southern Seoul to be used to help undernourished children and elderly people who live alone.

According to the district office on August 8th, Jang Geun Suk has sent 710 bags of rice, each weighing 10 kg, to the district through his agency. The ‘Visiting Mobile Food Market’ will be going door to door to deliver the rice.

The singer-actor stated, “I’m always thankful for my fans’ support. I will be sure to continue helping others.”

Also last December, he donated W10 million (US$1=W1,130) to a welfare center for children in need that was having difficulty raising funds to install equipment to meet its energy needs.
