“My heart ached when I heard about the people in Myanmar who suddenly lost their homes,” Kim said in a heartfelt message. “I sincerely hope this support brings comfort to those living through this tragedy.”
Jung-gon Kim, Secretary General of Good Neighbors, expressed gratitude, stating, “We deeply thank actress Kim Go-eun for delivering her warm heart to the children and residents in the earthquake-stricken area. We ask for continued public support so aid can swiftly reach those in need.”
