"Yoo-neunim" Yu Jae-seok again donated 50 million won while his total cumulative donations have already far exceeded 3 billion won.
The international development cooperation NGO G Foundation said on the 17th that broadcaster Yu Jae-seok donated 50 million won to support vulnerable female adolescents in Korea.
This donation was made to help female adolescents who have difficulty purchasing menstrual products and managing hygiene maintain healthy daily lives. G Foundation will use the donated funds to produce menstrual kit packs consisting of sanitary pads, underwear and feminine wash and deliver them to vulnerable female adolescents in Korea.
Yu Jae-seok began donating through G Foundation in April 2020 and has maintained the relationship, and including this donation he has donated a total of 400 million won to date. Yu Jae-seok's seven years of continued giving have consistently contributed to those in need across various areas, including supporting healthy daily lives for female adolescents, providing education and nutrition support for children and adolescents, and improving combined sanitation facilities.
Yu Jae-seok said, "I hope all female adolescents in our society can continue safe and healthy daily lives without worry," and added, "As an adult, I want to offer a small but warm encouragement so that children are not discouraged by everyday inconveniences and can grow up healthy."
In response, G Foundation CEO Park Chung-kwan said, "We sincerely thank Yu Jae-seok for paying attention to the issue of menstrual poverty through his continuous sharing," and added, "Because ensuring healthy daily lives for female adolescents is a responsibility our society must share, we will continue support with a sense of responsibility to improve the quality of life for female adolescents in need."
G Foundation has carried out health and hygiene support projects for vulnerable women and female adolescents since 2019, and it continues to expand activities not only for menstrual kit packs but also underwear support, renovation of sanitation facilities, gender awareness education and emotional support.
Meanwhile, Yu Jae-seok currently appears regularly on Hangout With Yoo, You Quiz and Running Man, and the Netflix "Yu Jae-seok Camp" is scheduled to be released.
