Singer Sean and actress Jeong Hye-young carried out their great act of sharing once again to mark the 22nd anniversary of their marriage.

On the 8th, Sean posted a long message accompanied by the phrase "The Miracle of 10,000 Won."

Sean revealed that he donated 3.65 million won, collected daily from the day after last year's wedding anniversary over the course of one year, to Bobpeu (a free meal program) in commemoration of their 22nd wedding anniversary.

Sean recalled how "The Miracle of 10,000 Won" began: "On October 8, 2004, I married the most beautiful woman in this world. The day of my wedding with Hye-young was the happiest day of my life. The morning after our wedding, I approached Hye-young and said, 'Hye-young, we were so happy getting married yesterday. Let's not just hold onto that happiness for ourselves; let's open our hands and live enjoying even greater happiness.' And I suggested that we share 10,000 won with our neighbors every day. Hye-young agreed very readily."

He continued: "My wife and I have been saving 10,000 won a day since our marriage. On our wedding anniversary, we visit Bobpeu, a free meal facility located in Cheongnyangni, to deliver the 3.65 million won saved over the year, and help serve meals to homeless people, vagrants, and elderly individuals without family support. By doing this on our wedding anniversary, we give a bit more meaning to a day that could otherwise end with just enjoyment, making it a day when we, as a couple united in one mind, reflect on the meaning of happiness."

In fact, Sean visited Bobpeu on his first wedding anniversary with his wife and their then-unborn first daughter, Ha-hae, carrying the 3.65 million won saved over the year. Afterwards, he shared: "On the way back, Hye-young confessed something to me in the car. 'We share small things, but it feels like we return with great happiness.' We shared 10,000 won every day, but I think we returned with a kind of great happiness that perhaps could not be enjoyed with just 10,000 won. Happiness seems to lie not in possession, but in sharing," evoking warmth.

In 2005, approximately 1,500 elderly people visited Bobpeu daily. Sean stated: "The cost of providing one meal a day to these individuals is about 1.5 million won. The 10,000 won saved by my wife and me over the year was enough to provide two days of meals for 1,500 elderly people, with money left over. In that way, every October 8, this year marking the 22nd time, we share our happiness. Because there is a leap month (Yun-dal) that occurs every four years, giving us one extra day to live well in love with Hye-young, today marks the 8th,035th day since I married Hye-young," revealing his unique affection for Jeong Hye-young.
