Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin were recently released on a list of donors released by a private school in Hawaii.
The two were listed side by side as donors of $10,000 to $24.99 million or less from the Iolani School in Hawaii.
According to the list of Iolani School donors from 2024 to 2025, Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin donated between 14.4 million won and 36 million won in Korean money to the school. The school teaches 2,200 students from kindergarten to 12th grade and is considered a prestigious private school in Hawaii. The school releases the list of donors every year as a thank you to the donors.

Overseas netizens are saying, "It is a small and frugal donation compared to the financial power of Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin. He explained that the amount of donations will increase as children's grades go up. "You can send private schools without donating, but the United States is a place where donation culture is common, such as tip culture."
Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin's son and daughter turned 9 and 7 this year.
Their love for their children is special. In particular, controversy over preferential treatment was raised as the first son was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.
After giving birth to his first child in 2016, Park Soo-jin has been embroiled in suspicions of bringing in food and cutting in the incubator with his manager in the intensive care unit for newborns. At the time, some criticized him for receiving celebrity preferential treatment, and Park Soo-jin explained that `no manager accompanied or brought food into the intensive care unit.'

The post was about three years after the last post in 2021, Park Soo-jin delivered it himself. In response, Lizzy from After School, a colleague in the entertainment industry, as well as the Internet, was pleased with "Wurunni (my sister)", while Shin Ji-soo expressed interest by posting a comment "I'm so funny". But seemingly burdened by the outpouring of attention, Park suddenly deleted the post about a day after it was posted, drawing attention.
Since their marriage, their activities in the entertainment industry have been suspended. Park Soo-jin's last work was the drama 'Knife and Flowers' in 2013, and Bae Yong-joon, who has not worked on the drama for about 12 years since KBS 2 'Dream High' in 2011, was rumored to be retired as the domain deadline for the official website expired in November 2022.
Meanwhile, Bae Yong-joon and Park Soo-jin, who were at the center of a lot of controversy by announcing their romantic relationship and marriage in 2015, got a son as their first child in October 2016 and a daughter in April 2018, and had one son and one daughter.
