Actor Park Hae-jin will receive 'Honorable Mention in Seoul Award' for his good Samaritan act.
According to a source from Seoul Council on Social Welfare, Park Hae-jin has been chosen to receive Seoul Council's Volunteer Service Award for '2017 Seoul Social Welfare Competition'.
He will receive an award from the Mayor of Seoul in Seoul City Hall on September 5, at 2 PM KST.
The 'Seoul Social Welfare Competition' was organized to recognize and praise people who have contributed to the social welfare―whether that is social organizations, volunteers, or supporters.
