Park Min Young generously donated 100 million KRW (~75,048 USD) to the Seoul Asan Hospital Cancer Center, aiming to support patients battling cancer.
Her decision was deeply influenced by her portrayal of Kang Ji Won, a character who fought cancer before returning to the past in the drama.

In preparation for her role in this latest project, Park Min Young underwent a significant physical transformation, shedding her weight down to 37kg (81.43 lbs) to authentically portray a 'terminal cancer patient.'
