SEOUL (Yonhap) — Song Joong-ki, the male lead of mega hit TV series “Descendants of the Sun,” has donated his appearance fees received from a Chinese variety show to charity, his agency said Tuesday.

Song took part in the filming of the fourth season of “Hurry Up Brothers” in Seoul late last month, Blossom Entertainment said. However, the company did not reveal the amount of the donation or the name of the charity.

“Hurry Up Brothers” is the Chinese version of the hit SBS variety show “Running Man.” China’s Zhejiang satellite TV channel is co-producing the show with an SBS TV producer.

Song was one of the regular hosts of the original Korean show from 2010 to 2011 as a rookie actor.

Broadcast simultaneously on South Korean terrestrial television network KBS 2TV and Chinese broadcasting and video sharing platform iQiyi from Feb. 24 through April 14, the military romance “Descendants of the Sun” became a sensation in both countries.

The series concluded with a viewer rating of 38.8 percent, which is rare for a weeknight show, narrowly missing the highly anticipated 40-percent milestone.
