Park Shin Hye joins hunger charity's Philanthropy Club after donating over KRW 100 million

Actress Park Shin Hye had recently been inducted into the Korea Food for the Hungry International's Philanthropy Club after she had admitted to donating a considerable amount to help the charity with their goal to end hunger.

Park Shin Hye is probably one of the most recognizable faces in the Korean entertainment industry today.Being popular in both the silver and small screens Park Shin Hye has starred in several notable roles and dramas like "The Heirs" with actor Lee Min Ho, "Pinocchio" with Lee Jong Suk and "Doctors." She has also starred in various films like "Miracle in Cell No.7," "The Royal Tailor" and "The Beauty Inside."

With all of her success one might assume that the fame would get to her head but instead, Park has remained totally humble and has turned her attention towards helping those who are in need. Park has been known to participate in various charity activities. One of her most recent charity activities is when she became an ambassador along Yuri and Girls' Generation's Sooyoung for Chung-Ang University.

Now, she had just become a member of the KFHI and furthermore, she had also donated a whopping KRW 100 million, which is exactly about USD 85,000, to the cause, Soompi reports. If you have no idea what the KFHI is, it is an organization whose goal is to raise awareness regarding poverty and hunger not only in Korea but the whole world. Park Shin Hye had already been a member of the KFHI since 2011 after she became an ambassador. However, she only became a part of KFHI's Philanthropy Club after she had donated at least KRW 100 million, a requirement before anyone could join the club.

According to Inquisitr, the actress could've been a member much sooner however, KFHI isn't the only charity organization that she is involved in. Apart from KFHI, Park Shin Hye also manages the Starlight Angel Project, an organization named after Park's fan club and aimed at helping children fight against hunger and poverty.
