From star writer Kim Eun-sook to Winner's Kang Seung-yoon, large sums were donated to neighbors affected by the heavy rain.
Kim Eun-sook, who wrote the drama "The Glory" and "Goblin," and Younha-rim, CEO of production company Hwadam E&T, once again gathered support for neighbors affected by the record heavy rains that struck southern areas such as Geoje.
On the 20th, the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association said that Kim Eun-sook and CEO Younha-rim each donated 20 million won, totaling 40 million won, to help flood-affected neighbors.
The two people's disaster relief donations have continued for more than 10 years since the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014. They have consistently given donations to Hope Bridge whenever large disasters such as wildfires, floods, and earthquakes occurred, and both are members of the high-donor group Hope Bridge Honours Club.
With this donation, the cumulative donations by Kim Eun-sook and CEO Younha-rim amount to a total of 1.33 billion won.
Kim Eun-sook said she sends her condolences to those who have suffered losses from the unexpected disaster and said she hopes that quick recovery will restore peaceful daily life soon. CEO Younha-rim also said she hopes this small help reaches neighbors who lost their homes to the disaster and expressed her sincere wish that they recover their full daily lives as soon as possible.
Winner's Kang Seung-yoon also joined the warm sharing for neighbors affected by the record heavy rains that struck southern areas such as Geoje, donating 10 million won.
Kang Seung-yoon's disaster relief donations have been steady every year. He has donated to Hope Bridge whenever national disasters occurred, including the 2020 floods, the 2022 east coast wildfires, and the central region's heavy rains, demonstrating positive influence. With this 10 million won donation added, Kang Seung-yoon's cumulative donations to Hope Bridge amount to 92 million won.
Kang Seung-yoon expressed his deep condolences to neighbors who have suffered great damage to their homes and difficult times due to the sudden heavy rains and said he sincerely hopes that on-site recovery proceeds quickly so that everyone who suffered damage can return to their peaceful daily lives.
The collected donations will be used for the swift restoration of flood-hit areas that suffered heavy damage from the heavy rains and landslides and for restoring the daily lives of disaster victims who lost their homes.
Meanwhile, last year Kim Eun-sook released the Netflix series "Genie, Make a Wish," and Kang Seung-yoon will attend the "2026 GHOST Festival" to be held at Paju Imjingak Peace Nuri in October.
