Professor Bae said, "I am very happy to be able to send my heart to Sinan," and added, "I will take the lead in actively promoting the successful establishment of the Hometown Love Donation Program."

Park Woo-ryang, the county governor, said, "We sincerely appreciate Professor Bae Jong-ho's warm heart for loving Sinan," and added, "The donated funds will be used valuably for regional development."

Meanwhile, the Hometown Love Donation can be made to local governments other than the individual's registered address within a limit of 5 million won per person. Donations can be made by accessing the Hometown Love e-um website or visiting any NongHyup branch nationwide.

Donors receive a full tax credit up to 100,000 won, and a 16.5% tax credit on the excess amount. Local governments provide donors with thank-you gifts worth up to 30% of the donation amount.
