[Asia Economy Reporter Ra Young-cheol] The story of the "faceless angels" who consecutively donated funds in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province at the end of last year has recently come to light and become a hot topic.


According to the Pyeongnae-dong Community Center in Namyangju City on the 4th, on December 29th, a person left a paper bag containing 10,216,320 won in cash at the community center after saying, "After much discussion with my spouse about how we can help children, youth, and elderly living alone in need, we came to the community center," and then quietly left.


Earlier, on the 9th, an anonymous donor visited the community center and handed over 2 million won, saying, "Please use this for making children happy."


Then, on the 10th, another resident of Pyeongnae-dong left a plastic side dish container containing 208,280 won in coins collected by their family over a year, along with a note saying, "Please use this for a good cause. I am embarrassed because it is a small amount."


The Pyeongnae-dong Community Center designated the consecutive donations to the Gyeonggi Social Welfare Community Chest and plans to use the funds according to the donors' wishes through the Pyeongnae-dong Community Security Council.



Woo Hae-deok, head of Pyeongnae-dong, expressed, "I deeply respect and thank the donors who courageously and selflessly practice sharing," and added, "We will use the donations carefully where they are needed according to the donors' intentions."
