Spreading the Love: Random Acts of Kindness by Korean Celebrities
Random Acts of Kindness Week was from February 9-15 in the US, with today, February 17, as the Random Act of Kindness Day. This day is to celebrate not the biggest donation to charity or the heroic deeds of the larger-than-life figures, but the smallest and unplanned acts of generosity, patience, service, and love from one human being to another.
It’s easy to ignore plastic bottles thrown carelessly into the street, or an old woman struggling up the stairs, and just go about your day. But in celebration of Random Act of Kindness Day, we’re bringing you a few stories of random acts of kindness by Korean celebrities, who chose to spread love and charity with impromptu actions when the situation came up.
