Often, when celebrities do their charity work, coverage is inevitable, and thus, these celebrities are often doubted for their kindness. Critics label such acts as publicity gimmicks, and these celebrities come out negatively despite their good intentions. However, some celebrities do their share without the cameras, and even ask that their charitable acts be kept in secret. For example, most senior stars often extend help quietly to common folk, and these instances are often not revealed until the beneficiaries share their stories.

Among the current crop of artists, Popular Talent (PT) is one of the most successful. At the beginning, she was just an ordinary teenage girl who wanted a better life for her family. Within a few months after her discovery, the network trusted her with programs that rated well and movies that established her bankability. However, throughout all the fame and fortune, her heart has been broken by family and love affairs, and critics have closely monitored her transformation and relationships with her peers. Yet, PT has no choice but to move on, and ignore or deny what critics have been telling about her.

One day, PT, who was seated quietly in her car, saw a cancer patient at the Audience Entrance of the station. The cancer patient had a huge mass on the eye. Instead of looking away, PT talked to the patient and asked about the condition. Moved by the struggle of the patient, PT gave a substantial amount of money to help the patient get medical attention. Then, PT said that she would sponsor the needs of the said patient. When other people found out what PT did, she immediately requested that her action not be included in any broadcast. Perhaps, PT knew that once the story leaks out, she will be doubted and her sincerity will be questioned, and thus, the news blackout.
