As late October approached, singer Lim Young-woong's fan club, Youngwoong Era Volunteer Sharing Group 'Laon', held its 40th meal service and donated 1.83 million won, which members had raised out of their own pockets, to a welfare facility for severely disabled children.
For people in welfare facilities who are trying to escape the shadows of our society, the total amount sponsored by 'Laon' so far is 131.58 million won.
Here we find four characteristics of Lim Young-woong's fandom.
When his idol, Lim Young-woong, donates, the fandom also does so, and when Lim Young-woong sees this, he again shares his love, creating a virtuous cycle; the fact that this is not a one-time act but his 40th volunteer activity and that it is sustainable; and the fact that fan club members have donated 1 million and 2 million won each by emptying their own pockets, and that the amount has already exceeded 130 million won, in other words, the genuine sharing of love is continuing.
It's not just 'Laon'. Lim Young-woong's fan club exists not only at the metropolitan and basic level, but also at the town, township, and neighborhood level. So the number of cell units of Lim Young-woong's fan club is greater than the number of teams in the top 10 European soccer leagues.
The number of fan clubs of specific stars who donate, the number of times volunteer work is repeated by numerous groups in various places, and the virtuous cycle where fans do something, stars do something, and fans do something again - these are already world records in terms of donation culture.
