Best Person of the Day:

Eun Ji Won – it turns out the rapper/entertainer has been making secret donations! “Eun Ji Won saw the donation project on his website and personally sent that large donation. Please don’t tell anyone else about this and send in the donation through the fan club’s name,” a person within his agency apparently told the organizer of the donation. We knew he came from an affluent family but didn’t know he was such a donating angel! (http://bit.ly/jE1wbH)
