Song Hye Kyo recently celebrated her 35th birthday with a special event with her avid followers. However, some of the "Descendants of the Sun" actress' fans made a special donation to a hospital to mark the South Korean star's natal day.
The fan group, DC Song Hye Kyo Gallery, decided to honor the South Korean actress' birthday with a donation to the Seoul National University Hospital, according to Korea Herald. Handed over to the hospital's pediatric department during Song's birthday on Nov. 22, Tuesday, the $9,546 cash donation was made in the name of the "Descendants of the Sun" star.
A statement issued by the pediatric department, obtained by the same publication, conveyed the hospital's gratitude for the fan group's donation. Children patients at the said hospital were given a chance for a healthy and better future, according to the hospital's pediatric section.
Meanwhile, a week ahead of Song's natal day, the actress held a fan meeting to commemorate her 20th anniversary in the South Korean entertainment industry. The fan event also served as an advance birthday celebration for the "That Winter, The Wind Blows" star, according to Officially KMusic.
Held on Nov. 13, Sunday, many fans came to meet the actress at Seoul's COEX Auditorium. The event attendees were also treated to a special surprise when Song's "Descendants with the Sun" co-star Song Joong Ki appeared during the fan event.
The South Korean actor, as well as special guest Yoo Ah In, even participated in a few games with Song. The two former co-stars also sang a duet of the song "Always," one the tracks from the KBS hit drama.
Named as the Song-Song couple, the two South Korean celebrities captured the hearts of many fans when they starred in "Descendants of the Sun." The KBS series was even dubbed as one of the most popular South Korean dramas of the year.
