The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pil-ho) announced on the 25th that Kim Jinwoo, a member of the group Winner, has donated 10 million won to support wildfire victims in Ulsan and Gyeongsang regions.
Since the 2019 Gangwon wildfire, Kim Jinwoo has consistently donated during various disaster situations, including floods, earthquakes, and COVID-19, making him a representative figure of 'good influence' who practices quiet yet profound sharing.
Kim Jinwoo stated, "I heard that many neighbors in various regions are suffering greatly due to the wildfires," and added, "Rather than staying still, I chose to do what I can do right now. I hope it will be used well where it is needed."
Shin Hoon, the Secretary-General of Hope Bridge, stated, "Kim Jinwoo's warm sharing will be a practical hope for neighbors who have lost their homes due to the wildfires," and added, "Hope Bridge will do its best in recovery and support so that the affected residents can quickly return to their daily lives."
Meanwhile, donations related to the wildfire-affected areas in Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam can be made through the Hope Bridge website and online fundraising platforms such as Naver Happy Bean and Kakao Together. More details can be found on the Hope Bridge website.
