"This Is All How Much" Lim Young-woong Makes Another Generous Donation... Donates 1.2 Billion Won from Charity Soccer Proceeds
Last Month's 'Hana Bank Charity Soccer Tournament' Ticket Sales
Donated to World Vision and Community Chest of Korea
Singer Lim Young-woong donated the entire 1.2 billion KRW proceeds from the charity soccer tournament to underprivileged neighbors.
On the 30th, his agency, Mulgochi Music, announced that Lim Young-woong donated all 1.2 billion KRW from ticket sales of the 'Hana Bank Charity Soccer Tournament' held on the 12th of last month at Daejeon World Cup Stadium to World Vision and Community Chest of Korea. The charity soccer tournament featured celebrities including Lim Young-woong, as well as current and former professional soccer players such as Ki Sung-yueng, Lee Chung-yong, and Park Joo-ho.
In this tournament, players were divided into Lim Young-woong’s team and Ki Sung-yueng’s team to compete. Known as an enthusiastic soccer fan, Lim Young-woong showcased his excellent skills by assisting a goal in the 20th minute of the second half during a 1:1 tie. He also performed in front of approximately 35,000 spectators during halftime.
Lim Young-woong and his fan club, 'Youngwoong Era,' have consistently continued their donations.
On May 8th, Parents’ Day, Lim Young-woong donated 200 million KRW in his fan club’s name to the Community Chest of Korea (Chairman Kim Byung-joon). In January, he also donated 2 million KRW prize money from the December King of the Month contest on the Good Star platform to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation. Good Star is a donation platform app that supports the positive influence of stars; prize money is awarded based on rankings from viewing videos and songs of participating singers in the King of the Month contest, which is then donated. Lim Young-woong has achieved a cumulative donation amount of 70.35 million KRW through Good Star. Additionally, the fan club 'Youngwoong Era' actively engages in volunteer work and donations by region. Notably, in July, 'Youngwoong Era' raised about 426 million KRW through fundraising activities via their official fan cafe and donated it to the Community Chest of Korea for flood damage recovery.
