Yoo Jae Suk, who is already well known for being generous, has donated once more to the elderly 'comfort women' who had suffered through history.
He gave 50 million KRW (~ 43,000 USD) to the 'House of Sharing,' where the comfort women reside. The homepage of Gwangju's 'House of Sharing' updated on April 14 with the news of Yoo Jae Suk's donation. He had given 30 million KRW (~ 26,000 USD) toward the construction of the building, 'Human Rights Center for the Comfort Women Victims of Japanese Soldiers,' and another 20 million KRW (~ 17,000 USD) toward the welfare of the comfort women themselves for a total of 50 million KRW.

This is not his first time showing his charitable side toward the comfort women. He had donated back in 2014 and 2015. The 'House of Sharing's manager, Ahn Shin Kwon, stated, "Up to now, Yoo Jae Suk has donated a total of 110 million KRW (~ 95,000 USD). He must be busy with his broadcasting activities, but he does not forget to put the elderly comfort women victims first, so we are grateful toward Yoo Jae Suk."
