giving to charity is great...if you can afford it. unless he's rich, he should have donated no more than half his winnings. he might need the money now since he's not that popular. on the other hand, if he's happy with it then good for him.

I think he's fine considering he still lives with his family and his parents are pretty well off. His father used to be the chairman of a company.

Sad to see that even though he won.. jung joon young is much more popular.. it's like watching park ji-min and lee ha-yi

AWW Roy Kim. Not only is your voice angelic but your soul is too. Not many people would give that all away to charity, because they would be focused on all the things they can buy with it. But Roy Kim seems pretty humble. I love his song, "The Lullaby", like both his albums have a unique style to him and a great to study to.

It's really good to make donations for the charity, but it's better to remain humble and not to talk about that. During my presidency in Korea, I did a lot of donations for different charities but I never talk about that and no one knows about that. Please stay humble and don't talk about your good deeds.
