On the 11th, Auction held a donation ceremony at eBay Korea's headquarters in Yeoksam-dong and announced on the 12th that it had delivered 10 million KRW raised through the "Smile Club Double Donation Challenge" to the Korea Firefighters Association. The ceremony was attended by Yoonhee Hong, Director of Communications at eBay Korea, and Taehun Kim, Head of Procurement and Distribution Business at the Korea Firefighters Association. The donation will be given to firefighters undergoing medical treatment.
Earlier, in December last year, Auction conducted the "Smile Club Double Donation Challenge" with 21 popular YouTube creators including Yubyeongjae and Kapichu. Each of the 21 creators recommended exclusive products from eBay Korea's membership program, Smile Club, in their videos. For every purchase made, Auction matched double the maximum reward rate (3% of the purchase amount) applied to Smile Club members and contributed the amount to a fund for firefighters battling illness.
Additionally, since 2017, eBay Korea has been running the "Here, Hero" campaign to support equipment and supplies that help firefighters in dispatch environments and fire scenes, realizing public safety values. To date, they have provided equipment worth a cumulative 2.35 billion KRW to financially vulnerable local fire departments.
