No regrets for Baek Chung Gang on donating his prize money

Posted by VITALSIGN42 pts Friday, September 30, 2011

On September 30th, YTN's 'Jung Ae Sook's Interview' sat down with MBC's 'Birth of a Great Star' winner Baek Chung Gang and talked about his decision to donate his prize money to charity. Baek Chung Gang donated approximately $40,000 USD of his $100,000 USD prize money after coming away with the grand prize on the show.  He stated, "It's a decision I made on my own.  My parents aren't upset with the decision because they knew why I chose to donate it.  They didn't say anything about it and supported me in telling me that I made a good decision." When asked, "Your parents live in a home that rents for $300/month, did you want to do anything for them?", he replied, "From the moment I applied for the audition program, I was determined to donate at least half to charity no matter what if I won.  After I did win, a lot of reporters came up to me and asked if I really did and whether I regretted it.  I confidently told them that I don't regret it at all, nor am I upset about having to part ways with that money."
