[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Ahn Yusu, chairman of the Ace Gyeongam Foundation, donated 300 million KRW to support victims displaced by the large wildfires that occurred in the East Coast regions of Uljin, Samcheok, Gangneung, and Donghae.

Ace Gyeongam explained that Chairman Ahn, upon hearing about the pain of residents who lost their homes due to the large wildfires that started on the 3rd in the East Coast areas including Uljin, Samcheok, Gangneung, and Donghae, wished to provide even a small help so that the residents could quickly return to their daily lives, and thus donated to the Community Chest of Korea's "Fruit of Love" campaign.

Chairman Ahn said, "I am deeply concerned about those who lost their homes due to the wildfires," adding, "I hope the fires will be quickly extinguished as many people are making efforts, and that even a small help can be delivered to the wildfire victims."

In 2019, Chairman Ahn also donated 300 million KRW to support recovery efforts for wildfire damage in the Goseong area of Gangwon Province, and donated 1.5 billion KRW over five occasions to improve firefighters' working conditions. Additionally, for 24 years, he has been donating rice to elderly living alone and child-headed households during the Lunar New Year and Chuseok holidays.
