'Comedian Kim Young-hee (43) has been tormented by the absurd 'forced donation' comments, bringing her extraordinary charitable actions into the spotlight.

On the 14th, Kim Young-hee posted a recent photo on her Instagram showing her husband, Yoon Seung-yeol, tidying up her daughter's dolls.

However, an unexpected cyberbullying comment saying "Please make a donation" appeared on the post, causing onlookers to frown.

In response, Kim Young-hee firmly replied, "Since it's a doll touched by her (daughter) hand, I am consistently donating to causes other than dolls. Please join me?"

In fact, Kim Young-hee is one of the celebrities who consistently leads in charitable activities. In particular, she has become a role model for all by not just donating but actively taking action. She has been practicing volunteer work for stray dogs for over 13 years, even adopting senior dogs, and has adopted several stray dogs over the years, caring for them like family. In 2021, she donated feminine hygiene products to low-income teenagers, and during the COVID-19 crisis, she launched a 'talent donation' by hosting weddings nationwide every month to support couples getting married.

At the end of 2025, Kim Young-hee visited a pediatric cancer center dressed as her sub-character 'Malja Halmae' to cheer on the young patients. She is someone who is more sincere about charitable deeds than anyone else.

In an exclusive interview with StarNews earlier this year, when asked about these charitable deeds, Kim Young-hee cautiously mentioned, "I usually do volunteer work quietly without making a fuss."

She added, "I couldn't go when it was hard to make a living, but I have been consistently doing volunteer work for stray dogs. I keep going and bring them home one by one, even adopting them. Some friends have passed away, and there are others I am still raising. When I have time, I want to go again."

Calling herself a "livelihood comedian," what is the reason for consistently and actively practicing charitable deeds? Kim Young-hee confessed, "They say I give, but I gain more. So it's good. And since I have a child, my heart feels a bit different. I am currently sponsoring some foreign children. About four of them, under my daughter's name, but I am sending money consistently every month. I receive more emotionally, so I plan to continue."

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV's variety show 'Malja Show,' hosted by Kim Young-hee, airs every Monday at 9:30 p.m.
