[Asia Economy Reporter Minwoo Lee] The youth club 'PLAYGROUND' is hosting a blood donation campaign to overcome the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).


PLAYGROUND announced on the 19th that the campaign will be held on the 23rd from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at ICL Building, 590 Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu. The purpose is to support the blood supply shortage caused by COVID-19 and to widely promote the importance of blood donation. PLAYGROUND is a youth club mainly composed of students. It was launched with the goal of identifying urgent issues in our society, deriving solutions through new approaches, and leading change while dreaming of a better future.



Two blood donation buses will be deployed for this event, which is expected to involve about 100 youths and young adults. Yoonbeom Lee, co-student representative of PLAYGROUND, said, "Due to the impact of COVID-19, blood donations have significantly decreased, and the blood bank's supply is running low. We aim not only to increase blood donations through the power of youth but also to create a starting point for recognizing and solving various problems in the world."
