The Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association recently announced that singer Lee Chan Won has donated 100 million won (about 74,000 USD) to aid victims affected by the recent wildfires in Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam.

Lee Chan Won's decision to contribute to the cause was driven by the news coverage of the wildfires' destruction. Particularly concerned because his hometown Ulju was impacted, he hopes for the affected individuals to safely resume their daily routines and embrace the upcoming spring.

This generous donation marks another instance of Lee Chan Won supporting the country during times of crisis. In the past, he also gave 100 million won to Hope Bridge during the 2023 floods. His consistent benevolence in national disaster relief efforts serves as a commendable and positive example.

Hope Bridge's Secretary General Shin Hoon expressed profound gratitude for Lee Chan Won's charitable gesture, hoping that it would inspire others to follow suit in assisting those in need.

Donations aimed at aiding the wildfire victims in Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam can be made through various platforms like the Hope Bridge website, Naver Happy Bean, and Kakao Together Value. Additional details can be found on the Hope Bridge homepage.
