Former soccer player Ahn Jung-hwan updated fans on his recent donations.
On the 15th, a video titled "There isn't much left now. Cumulative donations reached 430,600,000 won!" was uploaded to the "Ahn Jung-hwan 19" channel.
That day Ahn Jung-hwan said, "It took a long time, but we achieved what we set out to do, so I sat here to thank you all. From the beginning we always worked hard to donate, and finally we donated 100 million won for those whose family circumstances are difficult or who are struggling to raise surgery costs. I'm grateful," he said.
He mentioned those who helped the channel, saying, "I am very grateful to your support and to the companies that put in a lot of PPL, and I want to thank those who have been kind. Thirty-six people helped with live super chats for a total of 315,000 won. I also want to thank the 157 people who joined the membership."
Ahn Jung-hwan, who listed the companies that provided PPL one by one, said, "These people helped a lot, so I think we were able to donate. I am sincerely grateful again. Please continue to provide ongoing PPL. I know things are hard, but I am very thankful to the PPL corporations, and I'm very grateful to the 36 people who supported with super chats."
In particular, Ahn Jung-hwan said, "It's difficult. The business is realistically very tough. That's why it took us a long time. I'm not trying to brag; I think this is the warmth that you and I have created together. So I'm very grateful. The current cumulative donation amount is 436 million won. We are working to reach 500 million won, and we have been pushing forward, but it's not easy. Honestly, production costs and labor costs go in and there are many difficulties, but we are doing our best, so I ask for your continued support," conveying that the situation is not easy.
He added, "We will try harder to reach 500 million won. I hope our warm hands with you will give new life and warmth. Again, I'm very grateful to the Ahn Jung-hwan 19 family. We're trying to reach the last 500 million won but it's not easy. We're working hard in every direction," and emphasized, "We are cooperating with a pizza shop to join the donation to reach 500 million won. Please give us a lot of love. I will open it and work part-time. I hope many people come, eat and have a good time, and soon isn't it the World Cup? During the World Cup, I hope you enjoy a beer and the pub atmosphere and share the joy. What you eat helps a lot with our donations. So please visit a lot."
He continued, "Finally, the staff worked hard, but the most important thing is that I worked very hard. And it seems Ahn Jung-hwan 19 fans are above me. I'm very grateful and bow my head in thanks again," and joked, "Kim Nam-il is jeering. That guy didn't even donate 43,600 won. Thanks to you all, I donated 436 million won," drawing laughter.
He added, "There isn't much left to reach 500 million won. I will work hard. Please give us a lot of support and love Korean soccer a lot. We can't change the world, but we will do our best to shine even a small light. Anyway, I'm so grateful to be able to share this happy news. I hope the day comes soon when we can reach 500 million won. It's difficult. Please help. I will keep going until my donations reach 500 million won. Thank you. Because of you, we were able to donate. I'm grateful."
Meanwhile, Ahn Jung-hwan recently announced news of opening a pizza shop, raising concerns. Some criticized it as a "business sickness." In response, Ahn Jung-hwan explained about the pizza brand, saying, "This is a startup content in which we will jointly operate a directly managed store we are preparing with the brand to donate some of the profits to good causes together with 'Ahn Jung-hwan 19'" and asked, "Please view the brand that works with us favorably and visit the stores a lot."
Ahn Jung-hwan's wife, Lee Hye-won, also frankly said, "I vote against the pizza shop," but despite many people's concerns, she shared news that the pizza shop has opened.
