The 321st episode of the MBC variety show “Omniscient Interfering View” aired on the 9th, capturing viewers’ attention with actress Choi KangHee’s vibrant day. On this day, Choi KangHee confidently participated in a blood donation after completing an electronic questionnaire at a blood donation center, impressing the cast with her impressive record of 46 blood donations. She also revealed that she had received a silver honor medal for distinguished blood donation in the past.
Choi KangHee explained her motivation for starting blood donation, saying, “When I felt too low in self-esteem and useless, I thought donating blood was a worthwhile act.” She reminisced about the times she diligently participated in blood donations, setting an alarm every two weeks for the purpose. However, after receiving a hematopoietic stem cell transplant, she mentioned she could no longer donate blood frequently.
In 2007, Choi KangHee decided to donate hematopoietic stem cells, sharing that two brothers were suffering from leukemia. Her younger brother matched with their father, but she was the match for the elder brother, deciding with joy to donate. Despite receiving a warning from the hospital not to back out, she resolutely confirmed her decision.
Choi KangHee recalled being admitted for three days during the donation, appreciating the good environment provided by the hospital. She remembered, “They gave me a nice room as a thank you to donors, and I had a great time with visiting friends.” She also confessed that she had to keep the donation a secret from her mother, explaining that a picture uploaded by a friend led to an article, thus informing her mother.
Choi HyunWoo, who heard Choi KangHee’s story, expressed gratitude, saying, “I applied after reading the article,” appreciating the positive influence of her good deeds on many people. Choi KangHee’s dedicated donations and positive influence will continue to be an inspiration to many.
