Random actress Choi donated her blood 30 times last year! Some praise her for her kindness, but I’m a bit worried about her health.

Calculus problems give me stress, not relieve them. Lee Young Na must be a smart cookie to use Calculus to relieve stress.

When this gorgeous actress is under stress, she takes her car out of the garage and drive to wherever her heart takes her. Then she puts on her navigation to guide her home. Cute!

although i don’t like you and the way you talked about my favourite, i still have to admit that you have really good pictures
nice….
but donating blood as hobby???….weird n scary..
hope she don’t do it to often anymore…
i wish i was as rich as brian to be able to collect latest phones…sigh…
lee na young…maths can help reduce stress???..
she must some girl with an amazing brains…
blood can be replaced within 24-48 hours (i really dont remember if within 1 or 2 days but not more than that…) and blood donation they say is one way of keeping healthy.. coz your blood will be constantly checked as well as replaced…
not a fan of kangin, but he looks gooood in that picture
and hyori’s drawings are fug
donating blood as a hobby? wow..she has a heart..
i didn’t know Brian of FTTS is handsome!
woot!!
oh. wait.
does the Super Junior Boys smoke?
ehh..? thats a cigarette on KangIn right??
wow? donating blood 30 times. pro.
kangin looks cute in there anyways.
lol never thought he would fish XD
haha popseoul. If you’re trying to shock people by using that Kangin picture, then it’s not really a big surprise to most Suju fans…XD i love that picture though…minus the cigarette
Dull post.
“Then she puts on her navigation to guide her home. Cute!”
Hahahahahaha
Kang Dong Won: lmao, i’ve never even heard about him before actually, but I have to admit…omo…that is one good looking picture…*_*
Choi Kang Hee: ._. yeah i’ve seen her in a drama but I just didn’t know her name. Sheesh….30 times? What a kind heart ^o^ Hope she has enough blood for another 30 rounds
Lee Na Young: .________. can’t she just go on the computer to relieve stress like I do? Huahaha, okay now I wish i had her brains xD
Lee Hyori: awww, I actually thought those looked nice D: what’s wrong with them? ~_~…okay so maybe i don’t exactly have the eye of an artist…
Kangin: …that picture……………………..D< WHY THE HECK DOES HE HAVE A CIGARETTE IN HIS MOUTH?! TT__TT that’s terrible! except i just never knew that he could go fishing………………………………is that really a hobby? or does he just enjoy killing fishies or whatnot (nah, i’m not sadistic…not poking fun at fishing either…just wondering)
Jang Nara: hey, at least she let go of the boob job thing
FTTS Brian: oh sheesh, I don’t think I’ll be getting another cell until sometime in 2010…
Shinae: I’ve always thought baby shoes are the cutest things ever~ <333333 I’ve just never thought of COLLECTING them…
Han Yeseul: hope her heart doesn’t lead her to a car crash ^o^
p.s. *______* if that cigarette wasn’t there, i’d say that’s my fave kangin pic…*cough* *runs away*
is the donate blood 30 times in a year is true?
Well as far as i know in my country u have to wait 3 months before the next donation. The staff wont allow you-and of course they keep your record. That means in one year max 4 times only for the chances of donating. I check with other website also same lol…
oh wow … calculus problems? ahaha crazy stuff lol
haha Lee Na Young wants to prove she’s not a ditz as she appears to be.
Choi donated blood 30xs?!?! Is she addicted, or is it a new diet or sth?? She must be enjoying it a lot to call it a hobby.
Lee Hyori wannabe artist. Yo i can paint flowers like that with my toes.
I actually like Hyori’s paintings. I mean, its a ‘hobby’, not like I expected her to be a famous artist/professional >.< If she practices alot, I’m sure she’ll get better.
Lee Na Young…. when I’m under stress, its usually because of calculus @___@
that’s disappointing…I would think Hyori and Jang Nara would finish off a bottle of soju in one sitting when stressed.
Dang, what a hot pic of Kangin! And yes, he is a smoker.
lee na young is unbelievably gorgeous.
hmm.. interesting…
For some reason, I had the unbelievable urge to kiss Kang Dong Won’s first picture. He just looks soooo cute!
hahaa.popseoul, u had failed to shock me with kangin’s photo…
hyori’s drawings look nice!
you can’t donate blood 30 times in one year. its impossible.
you have to wait at least one or two months between each time b/c your white blood cell count gets low after you donate.
and they check before you donate.
so the most one would ever be physically able to donate in one year is 12.
hmm.. i don’t really like the picture
of kangin, it makes me sad. TT_TT
i like this blog though. very interesting!
yea!
i love popseoul too!
i just dun like how they criticized super junior!
haha.. is solving calculus can relieve stress?.. haha.. she must be smart.. haha, i might go crazy if i do that.. hehex..
How is drawing a unique hobby for an artist? Plenty of musicans, authors, and even celebs draw. This along with all your other posts are made of fail popseoul.
WOW these are so funny~~~ some unique hobbies! <33333
Who does calculus to relieve stress? Pretty insane. Maybe I should try that
lol i agree, the donating blood one can get scary if she’s overdone it.
Hi…I just want to say that you can only donate blood 4 times a year (here in the US) and maybe less in other countires…..seriously!!
30 times is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!
I know coz I just donated blood today and I asked the nurse.
Maybe Platelets….you can donate platelets 24 times a year.
whoa I didnt know any of these stuff!
those paintings by leehyori?? great works! still cant believe it
I like baby shoes too >< Is it crazy?? <_<
Yeah, I think try solving calculus will only doubled my stress @_@..didn’t work for me,,but hey, who knows it might works for somebody.
Kang Dong Won looks hottt in da picture!!
wow thanks for this article.. one of the few articles i found it interesting…but how come it was jam packed with mean comments again *sigh* i mean so wat if someone likes to do maths as a stress relier, its becuase of writers like you who put stress on them in the first place
no, it’s possible to donate blood ~30 times in a year
you just don’t donate whole blood; you donate plasma instead, which is replaced faster, or platelets.
Han Ye Seul’s hobby is so cute. Id do dat 2 release stress 2 wen I kan drive. lol
Choi Kang hee’news
The Korea Marrow Donor Program (KMDP) said Monday that entertainer Choi Kang-hee performed an act of charity by contributing her bone marrow last Wednesday to a child patient suffering from leukemia.
This is the first case of a Korean celebrity donating marrow to an unknown patient.
Reportedly, the 30-year-old movie star went to a Seoul-based hospital last Tuesday and donated the marrow on Wednesday.
“After learning that we found a patient who has a completely compatible genetic code with her, Choi stopped shooting her film and promptly visited the hospital to undergo a physical check-up in order to confirm a biological match with the recipient”, the KMDP said.
Her management agency said she is in good health now. “We tried to discourage her from doing it for fear of harming her health. But Choi was adamant in donating to the patient so we accepted her proposal”.
Bone marrow is the soft tissue found in the hollow interior of bones especially the hip and thighbones. It contains immature cells, called stem cells, which develop into red blood cells that transport oxygen throughout the body.
Experts say following bone marrow transfers, the donor can experience some post-surgery complications such as dizziness for several days. So it is essential for the donor to rest.
KMDP said Choi pledged to become a bone-marrow donor in 1999.
For the celebrity, this is not the first experience of contributing to disease-stricken people.
In October 2006, she was granted a silver medal from Korea National Red Cross in recognition of her frequent blood donations.
She was also the first entertainer here who received the medal from the Red Cross.
“It is very rare to find a person who has a completely compatible bone marrow with the patient”, KMDP said. “We sincerely appreciate her donation and also wish her good deed will encourage more people to participate in our marrow donation campaign”.
