The donation was made thanks to Lee Sung-kyung's appearance in SBS drama "Dr. Romantic 3" In the drama, Lee Sung-kyung plays Cha Eun-jae, a trauma surgeon at the regional trauma center at Doldam Hospital.

Lee Sung-kyung said on the 10th, "Through the appearance in medical dramas, I became interested in the field of trauma treatment, which is the main pillar of essential medical care, and I wanted to help the medical community develop in trying to save trauma patients by indirectly experiencing the reality of trauma treatment in Korea".

The donation will be used to establish a medical system for Dankook University Hospital Regional Trauma Center, which is in charge of emergency surgery and treatment for patients with severe trauma in the Chungnam region.

Since recently appearing in works like Lee Sung-kyung, more and more actors have taken over the message of their works and exerted good influence.

On the 23rd of last month, it was reported that singer and actress Kim Sejeong donated 50 million won to the Korea Autism Love Association after appearing in the play "Temple". Kim Sejeong recently donated 50 million won to deliver a message of hope and support to those suffering from autism and their family, with her feelings from her appearance in the play "Temple", in which she played the role of Temple Grandin, who overcame autism and became a world-class zoologist.

In response, an official from the Korea Association of Autism and Love said, "Kim Sejeong's warm heart will be a great help to families going through autism, and we will do our best to make sure that donations are used invaluable according to their will".

On the other hand, actress Go Min-si played the role of nurse Kim Myeong-hee in the drama "Youth of May" which deals with the 5.18 pro-democracy movement in 2021, and donated 10 million won to commemorate it.

According to the 5.18 Memorial Foundation at the time, Go Min-si donated a donation on May 17th, 2021, a day before the 41st anniversary of the May 18 Democratic Movement, to express gratitude to the citizens who realized the civic autonomy community during the pro-democracy movement.

In particular, Go Min-si's donation was even more special because "Youth of May" was on air at the time of the donation. Since then, Go Min-si has continued to act like the female protagonist of "Youth of May" by not only donating, but also narrating the documentary "Find Me", which deals with unknown martyrs and missing persons of the May 18 Democratic Movement, and leaving messages on social media in time for the anniversary.

Beyond delivering messages through works, more and more people are delivering good influence so that actors can directly donate to related foundations and associations to help them in reality.
