Actor Park Bo-young donated 30 million won ($27,000) to non-profit organization Good Neighbors in celebration of her birthday, according to her agency BH Entertainment. The donation will help the organization provide young girls from low-income families with sanitary items.

“I hope this actually helps children that are growing,” said the actor. “I know everyone is going through difficult times due to the pandemic, but I hope many people join the effort to help children in need.”

Park also donated 50 million won last year to help the fight against Covid-19 during the mass outbreak in February 2020.

The actor debuted in 2006 through the EBS series “Secret Campus” and is best known for movies such as “Scandal Makers” (2008), “A Werewolf Boy” (2012) and television series “Oh My Ghost” (2015) and “Strong Girl Bong-soon” (2017).

Park will appear in “The One Day Destruction Entered the Front Door of My House,” a tvN television series scheduled for the first half of this year. She will play the role of a web novel editor.
