A letter from the administrators was also posted alongside the photos.
In the letter, the welfare center talked about Park Bo Gum’s involvement in their charity.
According to the letter, “It’s been 10 years since we’ve started doing this ‘Sharing Love’ event. We would like to thank Park Bo Gum and their fans―’The Ministry of Bo Gum’s Welfare’―for being part of the event every year.”
They also explained what was happening in the photos. “Park Bo Gum sorted the goods out himself this year. He arrived with gifts for the children, then worked and worked to get the stuff sorted out. He even cleaned the area afterwards,” the letter stated.
The actor also spent some time with the kids in the facility after doing all his tasks. They all sat around a table in the garden. He reportedly talked to the children with affection and listen to their stories.
At the end of the letter, the welfare center staff revealed Park Bo Gum was doing the charity silently for a decade.
“For the last 10 years, Park Bo Gum and ‘The Ministry of Bo Gum’s Welfare’ had been quietly supporting us without making it public. Every time we thanked Park Bo Gum, he told us that all gratitudes should be paid to his fans instead. We would like to thank the actor and his fans again for sending their support,” the letter mentioned.
Park Bo Gum’s mandatory military service was officially concluded on April 30. His first public appearance was for a hosting duty for the Baeksang Arts Awards on May 6.
