It’s definitely not an easy decision… Gong Hyo-jin, who don’t usually say much, suddenly wrote a long message to fans

Actress Gong Hyo-jin expressed her heart as a celebrity who takes the lead in environmental protection.

Gong Hyo-jin left a long post on her Instagram on Mar 30th. Until now, she has only been posting pictures of herself, mostly without any special caption.

But she suddenly drew attention recently by leaving a long caption, saying, “I want to ask you a favor!” She declared that she would not receive gifts from fans from now on ahead of her birthday this year, which is on Apr 4th.

Her decision included her consideration for the environment. Gong Hyo-jin confessed, “On one hand, I’m always so thankful for your beautiful gifts..but on the other, all the packaging that comes with shipping, plastic wrapping, and even the cakes that I can never finish on my own..in the end, all lead to waste and it weighs heavy on my heart! I know my fans will understand my reasons for this.”

She added, “The countless number of times you’ve sent me flowers and handmade gifts, I’ll remember them always. This year, perhaps we can give to those who are really in need.”

Earlier, Gong Hyo-jin appeared on KBS2’s entertainment program “No Impact Day” and showed a life of living while minimizing carbon emissions to protect the environment. She was also the co-planner of the program. Since she published related books, she has been constantly showing interest in the environment and putting it into practice.
