The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pil-ho) announced on the 26th that actor Park Jin-young has donated a total of 50 million won to support wildfire victims and firefighters.
Park Jin-young stated, "My heart felt heavy hearing the stories of firefighters who are working tirelessly day and night at the wildfire sites, and I decided to donate to contribute even a small amount of help."
With this donation, Park Jin-young has achieved a total donation of 100 million won and has been appointed as a member of the 'Hope Bridge Honors Club,' a group of major individual donors at Hope Bridge.
Hope Bridge Secretary-General Shin Hoon said, "Park Jin-young's donation is a warm gesture towards the affected residents and on-site personnel," adding, "We will responsibly deliver this precious intention so that it can be meaningfully used on-site."
Meanwhile, Hope Bridge is currently providing emergency relief supplies to the wildfire-affected areas in Uiseong-gun, Gyeongbuk, and Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam, and is operating relief vehicles such as laundry support vehicles and mental recovery buses at temporary evacuation sites. They are also considering additional support in consultation with local governments as needed.
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.
