The singer Sean from 'Omniscient Interfering View' has been consistently donating and asked for much interest in this.
On the 6th, the MBC entertainment show 'Omniscient Interfering View' (hereafter 'Omni') featured the singer Sean. Jun Hyun-moo humorously introduced Sean, saying, "The cumulative donation amount is 6.5 billion won. Nowadays, young friends think this person is a social worker who runs well. But he is a hip-hop warrior who existed before BLACKPINK and BIGBANG."
However, Jun Hyun-moo said, looking at Sean's work and life, "I can't joke around. It becomes serious."
Sean appeared with a bright smile. He has appeared on 'Omni' as a teacher for celebrities who run and has shown up with a lot of materials. He started his day by practicing early in the morning under the guidance of marathoner Kwon Eun-joo to avoid injury.
Jun Hyun-moo asked, "Has the cumulative donation amount increased by several billion won?" Sean responded, "The donation amount that my wife Jung Hye-young and I alone have made is 6.5 billion won," adding, "We are working on a children's hospital with a scale of 44 billion won, donations worth 23.9 billion won, and a campaign to build houses for independence activists." This surprised everyone. He said, "After getting married, my wife Jung Hye-young and I saved 10,000 won each day, and when we reached our first anniversary, we donated 3.65 million won. It's been 20 years. I never thought it would accumulate so much," showing a life of action, albeit a small one.
His good deeds and the promotion of exercise continued in the same vein. He explained the fundraising through marathons and the results from that. In particular, regarding one of the massive projects, the 815 Marathon, Sean said, "Participants pay an entry fee and also receive sponsorship from corporations. So, 330 million won was raised in the first year. That's how we were able to build the first house."
He announced the opening of a Lou Gehrig's disease nursing hospital planned for 16 years. After the disease of the late basketball player Park Seung-il, who became the youngest basketball coach, was revealed to be Lou Gehrig's, Sean felt connected to him. Regarding the hospital opening, Sean said, "This is for my friend Seung-il," showing rare tears and becoming speechless.
Sean explained about the hospital, saying, "These patients lack strength in their respiratory systems, so if they catch a cold, they inevitably develop pneumonia. Therefore, I put a boiler on the floor of the hospital." He continued, "The more patients come in, the more we incur deficits. When it's full, we incur a deficit of 2 to 3 billion won each year."
Jun Hyun-moo asked with concern, "Isn't there a way to turn a profit?" Sean replied, "Absolutely not. Therefore, donations are essential. I think around 30 billion won could be donated through 1,000 churches that donate 100,000 won a month, along with individual donations from 10,000 people, and events organized by the foundation." He seemed hopeful instead. Watching this, actress Han Ji-eun shed tears continuously, and Lee Young-ja reflected softly, saying, "It makes us reconsider our lives."
