Park Hae-jin volunteers alongside malicious commenters
Actor Park Hae-jin returned to Seoul’s shanty town, Guryong Village in Gangnam, southern Seoul, on Saturday to do volunteer work with netizens who made hateful comments against him in the past.
It’s his third year volunteering at the village, delivering coal briquettes, daily necessities and donations to over 150 residents there.

Park is aware that there are people who are critical of celebrities volunteering in public for show.
“I understand,” he said. “But when (celebrities) volunteer, people will think of the neglected class for once. If one person becomes interested in them, that’s enough.”
The 32-year-old actor began doing volunteer work with people who posted malicious comments about him, instead of taking legal action against them, in 2013.
