Actor couple Jin Tae-hyun and Park Si-eun have continued their steady sharing by donating a total of 20 million won to improve the living environments of descendants of independence fighters, support medical treatment for children with disabilities, and aid families in crisis.

On the 14th, the couple delivered 10 million won to Habitat for Humanity Korea's "815 Run" project for improving the housing of independence fighters' descendants. The donation will be used to provide stable homes for descendant families living in poor housing conditions.

Jin recently revealed the Habitat for Humanity donation certificate through his social media, announcing that he and his wife participated in sharing for the descendants of independence fighters ahead of Liberation Day. Along with this, he expressed their intention to continuously practice sharing for neighbors in need and marginalized people across society.

Additionally, the couple delivered another 10 million won to the Milal Welfare Foundation to support medical expenses for children with disabilities and help families in crisis. This donation will be used for families of children with disabilities who have difficulty receiving timely treatment due to financial reasons, as well as crisis-stricken households in urgent need of help. Part of it will be used to support a refrigerator, the most urgent item needed, for a student's family living with a mother suffering from schizophrenia.

The two have served as goodwill ambassadors for the Milal Welfare Foundation for a long time, supporting medical and living expenses for children with disabilities. Park was appointed as an ambassador in 2014 and Jin in 2015, and since their marriage, they have been engaging in sharing activities together as a couple ambassador.

Having joined the "Companion Club," the foundation's major donor group of 100 million won or more in 2022, their cumulative donations delivered through the Milal Welfare Foundation surpassed 200 million won early this year.

The couple, who have broadly looked after neighbors in need ranging from descendants of independence fighters to children with disabilities and families in crisis, plan to continue spreading positive influence through ongoing sharing in the future.
