Recently, posts claiming that Shin Mina has secretly donated large sums over a long period have been spreading on online communities and social media. In particular, the posts drew attention by stating that she has continued donating since 2009 to treat burn patients and support low-income children, and that the amount has reached tens of billions of won.
However, because the identity of the author introduced as a "foundation official" in the post and the sources of the specific anecdotes have not been confirmed, caution is needed before accepting the content of the post as entirely factual.
Separately, the fact that Shin Mina is regarded as a leading long-term donor in the entertainment industry has already been reported several times. She has steadily reached out to places in need since 2009, and the known cumulative donation amount is reported to have exceeded 4 billion won.
After marriage, she attracted even more attention by practicing sharing together with her husband Kim Woo-bin. The two donated a total of 300 million won to the Hallym Burn Foundation, Asan Medical Center, and Good Friends last December ahead of their wedding. They added meaning to the significant moment of becoming a married couple after a long relationship by performing a good deed.
Kim Woo-bin is also an actor who has made donations for a long time. Because the two, who each practiced sharing in their own positions, continued their good deeds together after becoming a couple, the label "donation angel couple" naturally followed.
Shin Mina once said she thought it was better not to publicize good deeds in the past, but her view changed after hearing that donations by influential people can lead others to participate. She expressed the belief that if someone who learns of her donation develops a good feeling, that in itself is meaningful.
Meanwhile, Shin Mina is set to appear in the release of The Remarried Empress and has joined the upcoming project Sumokgeum, and she plans to continue active acting work after marriage.
