More and more idols are now doing charity work and visiting sick patients in hospitals.
It's a really heart-warming trend to spot. C:
E.g. Lee Hyori transferred animals from an animal protection organization with SS501's Kyu Jong & Young Saeng. :D (

Hallyu stars like Bae Yong Joon & SS501's Hyun Joong attended the ‘SMILE PROJECT’ charity program ‘Message! to Asia’ in Tokyo yesterday. (

Goo Hye Sun (famous for acting the role of 'Geum Jan Di' in 'Boys Over Flowers') visited the Yeonpyeong Island to help the residents and children there. (

Oh Ji Ho visited a girl with leukemia and shared a meal with her. He even gave her a bear and an autographed baseball. Touching, much! (

The best so far (IMHO) is Big Bang's Daesung visiting a leukemia patient in a hospital recently. The father of the patient wrote letters so touching I was almost in tears. Well, almost.

Although Daesung isn't my Big Bang bias, I rly admire him for being such a Samaritan-dol. Hats off, too, to the other celebs who are continuously giving back to the community despite their hectic schedules. Such fan services are way way waaay appreciated and cherished!
