Photos of Park Bo Gum's visit in a children's hospital surfaced on the internet on Dec. 23 after a nurse posted about the actor's surprise visit in a Seoul hospice.
According to Allkpop, the nurse took to her social media account to share a photo of Park Bo Gum during his visit in the children's ward. The nurse wrote, "Today, I felt glad that I worked at a hospital. I guess you get blessed if you live kindly."
Although it seems like that the "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds" actor would like to keep the act under wraps, his kindness did not go unnoticed in the eyes of the people who witnessed his genuineness.
Further reports claimed Park Bo Gum was even emotional upon seeing the sick children. The actor was even kind enough to grant each of them his autograph and provide them with food from the company he is promoting.
The act of kindness touched the hearts of his fans. Many of them commended Park Bo Gum for not involving the press during his visit.
"It's good that there was no press involved and this just went viral. Even on Naver, there were no professional photos of this visit and the only images available are from Twitter/Instagram of guardians/doctors/nurses in the hospital," a commenter posted.
No wonder the actor is being looked up to by his fans, who also have been active in doing charitable acts. Yonhap reported Park Bo Gum's fans recently donated some 1,000 USD to "Light of Hope" and "Forest for Victims of Military Sexual Slavery by Japan" campaign to celebrate the success of "Moonlight Drawn by Clouds."
The donation was done under the actor's name and was carried out by his fan club called Bogum Ilbo. "All donations were made voluntarily. We hope that what initially started off in order to support the actor becomes a light of hope to socially neglected people," the fan club said.
