Last month, Nam Yoon Su, a South Korean actor, revealed that he donated his kidney to his father. This news was recently confirmed by his agency, Agency Garten, on July 16, 2024. SPOTV News first reported that the star of the Korean drama EXTRACURRICULAR underwent kidney transplant surgery for his father on June 19, 2024.
