Shin Shin-seo donates 10 million won to underprivileged children
South Korean Go czar Shin Shin-seo, 23, has made a donation to help underprivileged children.
Shin delivered 10 million won to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to be used for underprivileged children, according to the Korea Go Foundation on Thursday.
“I had a lot of good things happen to me personally this year, such as winning the NgCB, which I had been praying for, but it wouldn’t have been easy without the love of my fans,” said Shin Shin-seo, who is enjoying his best season yet, surpassing 100 wins for the first time in a year. “I decided to make a donation to repay the love I received from my fans,” he said.
He also said, “I hope that my young friends will not lose their dreams and move forward despite the difficult environment.”
