Actor Kim Ji-won donated 100 million won to Seoul National University Children's Hospital for use by children suffering from severe rare and incurable diseases.

On the 10th, Seoul National University Children's Hospital announced that "Kim Ji-won donated 100 million won on the 7th to improve ward environments and support treatment costs for low-income patients."

The donation will be used to alleviate the financial burden of treatment costs for children with severe rare and incurable diseases and their families who come from across the country, enabling them to receive treatment in a safer and more comfortable environment.

Seoul National University Children's Hospital, Korea's first university-affiliated pediatric hospital established in 1985 as Asia's first of its kind, has led domestic and international pediatric care for over four decades. Given that it treats high-difficulty pediatric conditions such as severe rare and incurable diseases, childhood cancers, and leukemia, repeated treatments and surgeries are often unavoidable, placing a heavy medical cost burden on families. There have also been consistent calls to improve aging ward facilities and environments for children who must visit the hospital over long periods. This donation is expected to provide significant support for this large-scale ward environment improvement project.

Kim Ji-won stated, "While filming the drama 'Doctor X,' I closely witnessed the struggles of medical staff and sick children, which led me to decide on this donation. I sincerely want to convey my gratitude and encouragement to the medical staff, patients, and their families who are still working hard."

Chae Jong-hui (Director) said, "We will use the donation wisely to support families of young patients facing difficulties due to treatment costs, ensuring that children coming from across the country with hope can focus on their treatment in a safe and welcoming space."
