Actor Ahn Jae-wook joins donors' club

Actor Ahn Jae-wook has joined the Honor Society, a group of donors who have contributed 100 million won and more.

Community Chest of Korea runs the society.

The society hosted an admission ceremony for Ahn on Thursday.

The actor, 45, has been making donations to the charity since January 2007.

“I’ve decided to join because as a father-to-be, I wanted to give hope to children and help them have dreams,” Ahn said. “I hope my small contribution will be used meaningfully for the next generation so the contribution can serve as a source of strength for them."

The society now has nine celebrity members ― Girls’ Generation’s Yoona, MissA’s Suji, entertainer Hyeun Young, actor Kim Bo-sung, actress Soo Ae, singer Hyunsook, pop diva Insooni and actor Park Hae-jin.

Ahn and his wife are expecting a baby early next year.
