‘A Business Proposal’ star Kim Se-jeong donates 10 million won to Ukrainian refugees
With great power comes great responsibility and this phrase stands true for singer and actress Kim Se-jong who is currently the main lead on Netflix’s popular K-drama, ‘A Business Proposal’, which is based on a webtoon of the same name starring actor Ahn Hyo-seop and Se-jong as main leads. All actors on the show are gaining a lot of popularity all thanks to the global reach of K-dramas these days and Se-jeong is showing why she is worth all the love she is getting with her heartwarming donation.
While many K-drama or K-pop celebrities are not openly donating to those suffering in Ukraine due to the political condition surrounding the situation, fans are glad to see some sort of help being extended to the victim of the ongoing war. Back in early March, it was announced that Siwan, an actor from the show ‘Run On’ who is also a K-pop idol from the boy group ZE:A performed a kind act in charity by donating 20 million won booking an Airbnb in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital with no intention of showing up keeping it reserved for locals to find shelter in trying times.
