SHINee's Key (Kim Ki-bum) has captured everyone's hearts once again with his generous donation to a hospital that holds a special place in his life.

On December 30, Kyungpook National University Children’s Hospital revealed that Key made an incredible donation of 50 million KRW to support the children receiving treatment at the hospital. What makes this gesture even more meaningful is that the hospital is where Key’s mother works.

Key's mother, who has dedicated over 35 years to the hospital, was promoted from head nurse to nursing director in 2022, a moment Key proudly celebrated on MBC's I Live Alone. During that episode, Key shared how much his mother had influenced him, teaching him the value of hard work and serving as his mentor. He even took her on a “filial tour” to Japan to celebrate her promotion, which moved many fans.

In photos shared by the hospital, Key can be seen standing alongside his mother during the donation ceremony, making this act of kindness even more special.

This isn't the first time Key has shown his generosity. Back in 2019, he donated 10 million KRW to the same hospital. Recently, it was also revealed that Key had anonymously helped a family with the cost of a child's blood cancer medication that wasn’t covered by insurance. A comment on a Pinggyego video praised Key for his quiet charity work, saying, "Thanks to Key, our son is doing well now."

In a recent interview on JTBC’s Newsroom, Key expressed his pride in his donations, saying, "I’m glad that the donation was used well, and I feel proud. What I hope for is that my influence will grow not just for me, but so that I can have a positive impact on young people. I want to be a cool adult, but not a bad one."

With his thoughtful actions and admirable character, Key continues to inspire fans and set an example of kindness.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
