Jackie Chan interviews with MBC Newsdesk
Jackie Chan, who recently announced that he would donate his entire assets of almost 400 million won, held an interview with MBC Newsdesk on December 14. Chan repeatedly stated that he would donate his all the charity organizations he's created to society and would not leave as so much a spoon when he dies.
Chan, who almost died shooting one of his movies, stated he found happiness through donation. He went onto add that once you become a philanthropist, it's difficult to stop because you worry about what others will think of you. "I have no choice but to do good things because people around me expect me to do so," he commented.
He added that he plans to focus on children's education and rehabilitation. Chan encouraged others to donate by saying, "A few hundred dollars of surgery money can change a child's life." Chan is currently shooting a movie in New Mexico, U.S.A.
Jackie Chan sends USD 10,000 and letter of encouragement to Kim Jang-hun
Singer Kim Jang-hun recently received a letter in Korean from Asian actor Jackie Chan. In the letter, which Kim publicly revealed, Chan wrote, "I heard about a young man who's relentlessly offering his services for the needy. Although small in amount, I wanted to take part in your deed." In addition, Chan wrote, "Most of all, please take care of your health. I hope you will continue to offer your beautiful services to those in need."
Kim stated that Chan's letter and check was like the swallow who came to Heungbu (who was the good-hearted one, unlike his wicked older brother, Nolbu) right after he fell sick at the West Coast Festival. He went to add, "Jackie told me not to reveal it because he was embarrassed, but I decided to do so because I found him so genuine and the letter so cute."
Chan had sent the letter along with a check in the amount of USD10,000 to Kim after he heard about Kim's collapse during the West Coast Festival this past July. At a concert held in Boryeong on December 6, Kim donated the money to the city.
