touching...

I'm pretty sure you've all known about Nan's story. I've received several emails about Nan since the time her friends have been asking for help. I kept quiet about it and never actually blogged about it.

When I was in Bangkok, I've known that Nan received a letter and a gift from Leader. Story of it reached the media and now we've been reading the news about how kindhearted Kim Hyun Joong is.

Tonight I received another email about Nan's story and this camel from Beth. In her email Beth summarized what happened to Nan and the translation of Leader's letter to Nan. I know many have already known this story but still I want to have a page of this in my blog to share for those who may not have read or known the full story.

Here's Beth's email. Thanks Beth for sharing this.

There is this story that Hyun Joong sent a letter and a gift to a sick Thai fan name Nan. The story is spread among Chinese fan community after ss501's Thai concert because of a Chinese fan brought back pictures of the letter and the gift of Hyun Joong to Nan.

Nan is a Thai fan and a manager of a small Thai fan club of less than 100 people. She is a patient of kidney disease which needs kidney dialysis all the time. But her club member didn't know her health condition because she never seemed to be sick in appearance, rather, she was caring for other club members, devoted her self for organizing activities for the club etc. She had a kidney transplant surgery scheduled in February hoping to have it done after going to ss501's concert in January (original date). Unfortunately, the concert date was changed that Nan couldn't go to the concert since her surgery date was recovering from her transplant surgery. Even worse is that the kidney she received from her father was not working as expected. Her club members were so concerned of her, they sent out prayer/good wish request through internet to some oversea fan sites. I don't know how Hyun Joong learned Nan's situation but in his letter to Nan he said he learned it through internet. Hyun Joong sent a hand written letter on a yellow letter paper with a pink bonny doll to Nan. He also recorded a video message for her. Hyun Joong's tight schedule in Bangkok made him impossible to visit Nan in the hospital in person. He asked his agent/manager delivered the letter/gift/video.

The following link is the picture of Hyun Joong's letter and gift posted on magic0606.com. a Chinese fan club web site. The reason that Magic0606 got that picture is that this club sent a representative to visit Nan at the hospital after Bangkok concert and this lady had the chance to see Hyun Joong's letter and gift and took the picture. Hyun Joong's letter is hand written in English and it's readable in that picture.

The text of the letter of Hyun Joong:

Dear Nan,

I read your story on internet by a chance. First of all I am very sorry to hear that your kidney transplant surgery went bad. It is really sad and very harmful for the remaining family members if one of family members is sick. Because I had the experience that my grandma was sick. I know how it is hard to go through. Even though the treatment for surgery is hard to endure please be as brave as possible thinking of your family and get a treatment well. If you keep receiving a treatment I am very sure you will successful result. I will pray for you to recover well. Also I hope your father get better soon. I know that you can not come to see this concert, but I really wish that you come to see my next concert. I will always do my best in order to show my performance well for all my fans. Best regards.

from hyun joong
