On January 7th, Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association shared the good deed done by the actor. According to the association, Song Joong-ki gave the donation in order to provide cold protection supplies to all the medical workers at the new coronavirus infection screening clinic.

The 100 million won donation will be used to purchase heating equipment for the outdoor screening clinics where swab tests and coronavirus screenings are administered by medical frontliners who are working hard despite the struggle brought upon by the strong cold.
