[talk] The heroic era when donations alone were not enough

[Financial News] The fan club 'Youngwoong Era', which resembles singer Lim Youngwoong, the 'donation angel', has been practicing warm sharing by not only making donations but also personally volunteering. As Lim Youngwoong has always emphasized donations and volunteering with neighbors in need rather than gifts to his fans, his fans are also joining in on the sharing.

According to Youngwoong Era on the 21st, 'Youngwoong Era Andong Study Room' recently visited Andong Yuri Nursing Home in Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do to celebrate Im Youngwoong's birthday (Ungtangjeol, June 16th) and delivered bread they made themselves.

'Heroic Age Andong Study Room' planned this Love Bread Volunteer Activity to join in the good influence of Lim Young-woong. Prior to this, on the 14th, they donated 350,000 won to the Gyeongsangbuk-do branch of the Korean Red Cross to share bread with vulnerable groups.

The 'Heroes' Age Andong Study Room' side said, "We wanted to join the good influence of Lim Young-woong, who usually practices sharing and good deeds," and added, "Although it is not enough to share, we hope that it will be a comfort to our neighbors when they are lonely and tired."

'Heroic Age Andong Study Room' has been continuously carrying out various good deeds such as baking service and sharing coal briquettes for the underprivileged in the local community since 2022. Last year, it donated 2 million won to the Red Cross membership fee fundraising, and is actively participating in the humanitarian activities of the Red Cross in the province.

Not only volunteer work, but the donation activities of the Heroic Age are well-known nationwide.

'Daegu Heroes Era Together Room' recently donated 3 million won to the Korea Leukemia Children's Foundation, a non-profit organization specializing in pediatric cancer, to cover treatment costs for children with pediatric cancer in celebration of Lim Young-woong's birthday.

This donation was voluntarily collected by fans in celebration of Lim Young-woong's birthday and the success of his second full-length album. The donation will be used entirely to cover the treatment costs for children with pediatric cancer in the Daegu and Gyeongsang regions.

'Daegu Heroes' Era Together Room' has been making anniversary donations three times since 2023. 'Daegu Heroes' Era Together Room' said, "We wanted to wish Im Young-woong's birthday and the success of his second full-length album, and convey courage and warmth to children fighting pediatric cancer," adding, "It's a small sincerity, but we hope that the 'value of togetherness' created by Im Young-woong and Heroes' Era will have a positive resonance in the world."

The fan club 'Hero Age Gwangju Jeonnam', which donated 7 million won to the same foundation, also delivered 200 Hickman pouches. They have been donating to children with cancer for 6 years and have supported the treatment costs of 12 children so far. Hero Age With Hero Busan Geumjeongsan participated in warm sharing by donating 3 million won to Busan Love Fruit.

Lim Young-woong's other fan club, 'Woongbitnarebang', also added warmth by donating 4.7 million won to the Daegu Community Chest of Korea through a 'warmth piggy bank' on the 11th.

This donation was raised through the 'Warmth Piggy Bank' campaign, in which fans voluntarily participated to celebrate Lim Young-woong's birthday. The 'Warmth Piggy Bank' is a fan club-exclusive piggy bank inspired by the warm message conveyed in Lim Young-woong's song 'Warmth'. Fans collected money from their daily lives and completed it into one big warmth.

The Busan fan club called 'Study House' donated 5.5 million won to 'Bapsang Community', which regularly provides meal services, and treated them to a nutritious meal of samgyetang. 'Study House' has been providing support for 46 times over the past five years, totaling 80 million won. They are also actively involved in delivering lunch boxes and briquettes to the elderly living alone in the shantytowns.

In addition, 'Seattle Heroes Era' donated 4 million won to Pocheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, to spread warmth to Lim Young-woong's hometown, and the fan club in the northern Gyeonggi region, in cooperation with the Goyang-dong Community Center, donated 400 kg of kimchi, 10 kg each, to 40 families in need.

Lim Young-woong's birthday is not just a celebration party for them, but a warm day spent with neighbors in need. It's like good fans for good celebrities. Since 2021, he has stopped receiving gifts from fans and has only received handwritten letters.
