"This past August 11, Yoo Jae Suk donated 50 million Won (~$45,520 USD) in total to the house of sharing for elderly women who were victims of Japanese comfort women abuses. He didn't make his donation known, but we found out later that it was Yoo Jae Suk," a representative from Social Welfare House of Sharing said.
