[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Podbbang, the largest podcast platform in Korea, announced on the 5th that the original popular podcast 'Jeong Youngjin Choi Wook's Maebul Show (hereinafter Maebul Show)' donated 18,000 briquettes to vulnerable groups.


This donation was made with the entire proceeds of 15 million KRW from the sale of T-shirt goods conducted on the Maebul Show last month. The donation will be delivered to vulnerable groups struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and the winter cold through the nonprofit organization Warm Korean Peninsula Love Briquette Sharing Movement.


The event was held online on the 3rd of last month with the purpose of donating all proceeds, receiving high responses from listeners, and the products sold out within two days of the sale start.


Maebul Show, hosted by Jeong Youngjin and Choi Wook, is Podbbang's representative broadcast that transcends all fields such as entertainment, current affairs, culture, and arts, turning any issue into laughter, recording about 60 million plays per month. Additionally, about 550,000 subscribers watch it through YouTube.



The Maebul Show production team said, “We thank many listeners who joined in the warm hearts during the year-end and New Year holidays,” and added, “We will continue to strive to be a small help to neighbors facing difficulties through ongoing social contribution activities.”
