Former rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae practices warm sharing as a wedding gift.
On the 22nd, Next Euphoria announced, “Son Yeon-jae will donate 50 million won to the Severance Children’s Hospital.”
Son Yeon-jae got married on the 21st with the blessings of family, friends and acquaintances. It is said that he has decided to convey his warm heart to the children suffering in order to use the gift money more meaningfully.
This donation will be used for home medical care for critically ill children to relieve the burden on patients and their families by providing home medical services to critically ill pediatric patients who need continuous medical services, and to provide safe medical services with high continuity at home.
Son Yeon-jae was the first Korean to win an individual overall bronze medal at the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, an individual overall gold medal at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, and the first Asian place to finish fourth at the 2016 Rio Olympics. After his retirement, he established a riff studio to discover and nurture the dream tree of rhythmic gymnastics, and is serving as CEO.
He has been making donations for the underprivileged since his activities as a gymnast, and has spread good influence by donating talents for the dream of rhythmic gymnastics.
