Singer Sean spoke about what led him to begin donating.
On the 26th, a video titled “‘I had no intention of donating until before marriage’ | The unexpected beginning of Sean becoming a donor” was released on the YouTube channel ‘Lee Seong-mi’s Can’t Go.’
On that day, Sean said, “(Donating) is not an addiction. Until before my marriage, and even up to the day of the wedding itself, I had no plan for how I would donate.” He added, “I have become happier since getting married, but the day of the wedding was the happiest day of my life.”
He continued, “However, the day after the wedding, I started holding on tightly to that happiness, fearing it might collapse. I thought that if I clenched my fist, only this much would be mine, but if I opened my hand, I could hold the entire world.” He explained, “I asked my wife how she felt about living by donating 10,000 won a day, and since she said it sounded good, we started.”
He added, “On our wedding anniversary, I brought 3.65 million won, went to do volunteer work, and gave it away. It was my first donation. Hye-young debuted through commercials and shot a great many of them. She even used that for her debut, but then a commercial for couples came in. After filming it, I was so grateful that I gave all the earnings away.”
Sean said, “If my wife had opposed it, I probably wouldn’t have been able to do it, but she supported me with joy.” He stated, “When something comes up, I give again. Even if there is no money in my account, I make the decision to give before checking. Then, strangely enough, money comes in. That’s how I’m able to give again. It accumulated over time until it became what it is now.”
Meanwhile, Sean married actress Jung Hye-young in 2004 and has three children. Previously, Sean revealed on a variety show that his cumulative pure donation amount reached 6.5 billion won, sparking surprise.
