Actor Song Joong Ki donated his entire fee from his appearance on the Chinese version of 'Running Man', 'Hurry Up Brother'.

His agency Blossom Entertainment stated on May 10, "Song Joong Ki has donated his entire appearance fee from 'Hurry Up Brother'. He intended to donate it from the beginning." The label did not reveal the amount or the charities receiving the donation.

Song Joong Ki filmed for the variety show in China on April 20, and the special episode will be out this Friday.

Good looks and a good heart!

Please appear on Running Man soon

Chinese running man must have paid him a lot to come appear on the show considering the fact that he thought the amount of money he got paid for the appearance would truly make a difference. Him and Song hye kyo are angels. If they both started dating I would ship them and call them the charity couple

Have you heard that what the Chinese running man's leader get for one season (12 episodes) equals to Yoo Jae Suk's pay for 200 episodes? That's the reason why Song Joong Ki is there.

it really annoys me how korean RM went on chiinese RM with zero benefit to them or korea other than china ripping another korean show. its even worse that they can't broadcast the show because China RM has the rights to it.

I am a fan on Song Joong Ki and Korea Running Man since the beginning but I can't help but to believe that the reason behind this donation was like someone else said, "to save his reputation" for appearing on RM China before RM Korea. He's already making big bucks all over Asia and of course he makes donations here and there, but why specifically RM China's appearance fee was donated instead of other Chinese programs' appearance fee? Because there were some negative criticism for appearing on China's RM for more $$$ before his nation's RM. None the less, all this is just entertainment industry tactics, doesn't bother me lol. Still love him and the RM family regardless. <3

I don't agree. He donated money from his fan meeting in Korea as well and also the money from the recent fan meeting. He is a good person and has done many great charity work without anyone knowing. I wouldn't criticizes him for something as minor as this. I think people just wanted to find something negative to say because a celebrity choose to do one program before another. His real fans know that he is loyal and humble human being so let's just agree to disagree with what you said.

I agree with you in that he is a loyal and humble human being however, with all the heat he's been getting for appearing on China's RM before Korea's, his agency had to do something about it. And I believe this was what his agency decided to do. You can believe otherwise. What I've said is solely my opinion and what I believe is going on. Everyone's entitled to their own thoughts and opinion. :)

Well, this is entertainment industry. You really think they intended to donate this money to begin with? I have yet to hear anyone who donates their broadcast appearance fee. It's so obvious they're trying to save Song Joong Ki's reputation because he guest on China's Running Man before Korea's.... It was a stupid reason they gave saying Hurry Up, brothers sent him invitation since a while ago. There's no reason for them to invite him before he became popular because of DoS. And Running Man has tried to get him on the show for like years now... still, he went the other way because they pay more. Even funnier, they gave Jin Goo and Kim Ji Won to entertain the Korea's Running Man instead. This is absurd if you ask me.
