'Superstar K' Winner Quietly Donated Prize Money to Charity

Kwak Jin-eon, the winner of Mnet's audition-based talent show "Superstar K", donated the W300 million in prize money he earned on the show in October last year to a charity, it belatedly revealed on Tuesday (US$1=W1,173).

Kwak apparently decided to donate the money to help people in need in Gangwon Province as his mother who runs after-school classes there encouraged him to do so.

Meanwhile, he released his debut album on Tuesday and is set to work on promoting it.
