South Korean actress Shin Min-a has quietly donated over $2.7 million over the course of more than 15 years to support various charitable causes. The majority of her donations have gone to helping burn victims and children from low-income families. According to the Hallym Burn Foundation, Shin has contributed 100 million won ($73,000) annually since 2015, resulting in a total of 1.1 billion won ($800,000) in donations by September 2026.
Her contributions have helped cover medical and nursing expenses for over 200 burn patients, particularly children and women. In addition to her burn victim support, Shin has also provided aid to vulnerable children, older adults, North Korean defectors, and disaster-stricken communities. She has funded educational programs and study facilities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Despite her significant philanthropic efforts, Shin has chosen to keep her contributions private, believing that good deeds should be done quietly and hoping her actions will inspire others to give as well.
