Singer Lee Young Ji has touched hearts with her thoughtful gesture of donating 20 million KRW to support the victims of the recent Jeju Air tragedy.

On January 3, Lee Young Ji took to social media to share her feelings about the devastating incident. She wrote, "I cannot fully grasp the immense sorrow, so I send my condolences through this small act of support."

She backed her words with action by donating 10 million KRW each to the Korean Red Cross Jeju Air and the Warm Day Foundation, for a total of 20 million KRW. Alongside her receipts, she added, "I sincerely pray for the repose of all the victims," showing her deep compassion for those affected.

Lee Young Ji, who is currently hosting KBS 2TV’s The Seasons: Lee Young Ji’s Rainbow, also reflected the national mourning spirit through her work. The January 3 episode of her show was canceled in honor of the victims, further emphasizing her solidarity during this difficult time.

The Jeju Air tragedy occurred on December 29 at approximately 9:03 a.m., when flight 7C 2216, traveling from Bangkok, Thailand, collided with an outer wall while attempting to land at Muan International Airport. The horrific crash caused an explosion, resulting in the tragic loss of 179 lives out of the 181 onboard, with only two crew members surviving.

Fans and netizens praised Lee Young Ji for her kind and thoughtful actions, with many sharing messages of gratitude for her meaningful contribution. Her gesture serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together in times of grief to support those in need.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
