Comedian Jung Myung-hoon to donate bone marrow to a five-year-old

Comedian Jung Myung-hoon, 31, is about to donate bone marrow to a five-year-old child. Jung had previously signed himself up for a bone marrow donation.

He was contacted later when a matching patient was found, though the exact date of the surgery is yet to be determined.

"It really isn't that big of a deal. Donating bone marrow doesn't even cost that much. I'm just doing what's right", said Jung, bashful.

Whereas Jung and the young patient are perfect matches, the actual donation date is not yet fixed because of the patient's bad health condition. "The child's just gone through a heavy treatment for cancer. The operation will begin once the kid recovers a little", said the comedian.

"I'm very glad I'm a match. It feels really nice that I can help a sick child in need, you know?" When the patient improves in health, the comedian will undergo a three-day-long surgery to donate his bone marrow.

Jung made his debut in 2001 as a KBS comedian. He has been steadily gaining popularity for his appearance as "Goltong 24" in feminine getup in the "I'm a Cyborg but it's alright" section of a KBS2 gag program "Gag Concert".


개그맨 정명훈 5세 아동에 골수 기증해


개그맨 정명훈(31)이 일반인에게 골수를 기증한다. 평소 어려운 이웃을 돕기 위해 골수기증을 신청했던 정명훈은 최근 자신의 골수를 필요로 하는 환자가 나타났다는 연락을 받고 기증 날짜를 기다리고 있다. 그는 "골수기증은 큰돈이 드는 것도 아니고. 큰 결심이 필요한 어려운 일이 아니다"고 쑥스러워했다.

서로 골수는 일치했지만. 기증받을 환자의 상태가 좋지 않아 아직 기증 날짜가 결정되지 않았다. 이 환자의 몸 상태가 좋아지면 정명훈은 2박 3일 동안 입원해 골수기증을 하게 된다.   2001년 KBS 공채 개그맨으로 데뷔한 정명훈은 최근 KBS2 '개그 콘서트-사이보그지만 괜찮아' 코너에서 여성스러운 분장의 '꼴통 24호'로 등장해 인기를 끌고 있다.
