Following singer Lee Chan-won's donation of 100 million won, the fan club 'Chance' has also contributed funds for wildfire damage recovery.
The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association (Chairman Song Pil-ho) announced on the 1st that the fan club 'Chance' donated 122 million won as support for wildfire victims. This follows singer Lee Chan-won's donation of 100 million won for wildfire relief in his hometown of Uljin on the 25th, with fans joining in the charitable act.
The donation from 'Chance' will be used for emergency relief, provision of daily necessities, and operation of temporary shelters for residents in wildfire-affected areas such as Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam.
This is not the first time the fandom has engaged in charitable acts. This is the fourth donation made in response to national disasters, having previously contributed 280 million won for the 2022 flood, the East Coast wildfires, and the 2023 flood. With this latest donation, the total amount donated has reached 400 million won.
Members of Lee Chan-won's fan club Chance stated, "Following the singer's love and practice of sharing, we decided to raise funds to convey hope through our donation. We want to share and support the pain of the disaster victims who are feeling heartbroken."
Hope Bridge is currently providing over 440,000 relief items, including relief kits, shelter partitions, blankets, daily necessities, bottled water, and food to the wildfire-affected areas. Various on-site activities are also ongoing, such as laundry support in shelters and meal support for firefighters and on-site response teams.
