LPGA golfer Choi Na-yeon has donated W20 million to a disabled teenage swimmer (US$1=W1,178).

Kim Se-jin was born without both feet and has had to wear prosthetics ever since he started to walk. He won a silver medal at the 400-m freestyle competition at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon.

"I was moved by Kim's spirit of challenge and will", Choi said, adding that the money was raised from charity auctions and donations from her fans.
