Moon Geun Young has been in the spotlight recently as she was given the nickname of “Charity Angel” but instead of complements, she was attacked by some netizens calling her a hypocrite. Conservative political commentator Ji Man Won and some netizens even dug out her family history, and used it as a tool to attack her. News of Moon Geun Young donating a total of 850million won to charity organizations in the past 6 years was revealed recently and she was commended by many for being a role model to all. However, there were some netizens who held a different view about her. They said that she was just trying to increase her reputation and called her a hypocrite. They were even some who attempted to stir emotions by dragging her family into the picture. Moon Geun Young’s grandfather was a political prisoner previously, supposedly having communist ideas. Political commentator Ji Man Won wrote on his website: “Actress Moon Geun Young is someone who is brought up under communist influence. She is spreading communist ideals and might be working as a spy for the communist North Korean.” Eventually, the situation turned so bad that the Democratic Labor Party has to stressed: “If Moon Geun Young’s family history is what the Korean history was, we must treat it as a lesson instead of making accusations and witch-hunting.” Credit: hanfever Source: Yonhap News
i hate when artists do charitable work and need the publicity .. can't they do it from their heart and recognize from within .. i think she's just trying increase and improve her reputation .. that's her alternative motive in doing these types of work. it's good but disgusting too.
