Yunho, actor and member of K-pop boy band TVXQ, has donated the appearance fee from his brief stint in the film “Ode to My Father” to ChildFund Korea.

The idol made the financial donation to the Korean nongovernmental group to support children in need at home and abroad.

“I realized how much I should appreciate my parents for their love and support during filming of the movie ‘Ode to My Father,’” he said.

Yunho starred as the 1970s big-name star singer Nam Jin in the Korean family movie “Ode to My Father.”

“I heard that many children are still living in unspeakable conditions. I decided to donate the appearance money to help them grow up with a dream and hope,” he added.

“Ode to My Father” portrays a story about Deok-soo, played by veteran actor Hwang Jung-min, a symbol of typical Korean father who lived through the aftermath of the Korean War (1950-53). It was released on Dec. 17.
