Singer Sean Reveals Tireless Philanthropy on 'Point of Omniscient Interfere', from Children's Rehab Hospital to BLACKPINK Jennie's Generous Donation

Singer Sean shared his inspiring journey of charitable endeavors on the latest episode of MBC's 'Point of Omniscient Interfere'.

During the broadcast on the 6th, Sean was featured promoting donation drives through marathons and raising awareness for the construction of a Lou Gehrig's Hospital and a children's rehabilitation hospital.

Sean's commitment to giving back is long-standing, particularly continuing his donations annually since marrying actress Jung Hye-young. He recounted a touching moment at the children's rehabilitation hospital, stating, "A mother brought her child in a wheelchair and told her child, 'Try walking,'" highlighting the hospital's crucial impact and necessity.

He further detailed the inspiration behind the hospital's establishment, saying, "I learned about the need for a children's rehabilitation hospital through Eun-chong." Sean, who became an ambassador, revealed the ambitious goal of raising 32 billion KRW for its construction. He also shared that his son, Harang, proposed building an alternative school, which led to a 100 million KRW donation from BLACKPINK's Jennie.

Sean is also recognized for introducing the Ice Bucket Challenge to Korea. He explained the challenge's connection to ALS patients, noting, "When you pour ice water over yourself, your muscles momentarily contract, a sensation similar to what Lou Gehrig patients feel every moment." He also mentioned nominating G-Dragon, followed by EXO's Suho and Jun Hyun-moo, who continued the challenge.

Sean debuted in 1997 as part of the hip-hop duo Jinusean and is widely known as an angel of charity in the Korean entertainment industry. After marrying actress Jung Hye-young in 2004, he has consistently practiced giving and spread positive influence. Sean is currently spearheading various social contribution activities, including the construction of a Lou Gehrig's Hospital.
