Webtoon artist and broadcaster Gian84 (real name Kim Heemin, 40) introduced the donation program '100 Challenge' that helps children in orphanages, encouraging participation by saying, "I hope it spreads nationwide."

Recently, Gian84 said on his YouTube channel 'Life84', "Following last year, I plan to do the '100 Challenge' again this year," and introduced it as "'100 Challenge' is a donation program where 1 million won is deposited into the bank accounts of children in orphanages so that they can directly purchase what they need."

Gian84 revealed that last year he donated 60 million won by giving 1 million won each to 60 children. He added, "Last year, I filmed the donation video but felt like I was showing off too much, so I didn't upload it. However, if others see the video and feel inspired to donate, I think it's a good thing, so this year I am making it public."

Afterwards, Gian84 headed to an auditorium where a drawing event was held together with fellow webtoon artist Park Taejun. The two volunteered their talents by teaching drawing to children and delivered the donation funds. Park Taejun said, "When I first met Gian84, we both only had anger and inferiority complex, but things worked out well, and now we are here teaching drawing. I think it’s meaningful." He continued, "Preparing for college entrance exams costs a lot of money, and especially since I do watercolor painting, I couldn’t take on the challenge because of the expensive materials like paper and paint," adding, "Because of that deprivation, being able to let children use what they want and buy what they want doesn’t feel like someone else’s story to me."

A sixth-grade elementary school student A, living in the childcare facility, expressed gratitude, saying, "Last year, I bought roller skates with the 1 million won I received," and added, "I fell down sometimes, but I made a lot of memories and it was great." When asked, "Won’t you be able to wear them for long if your feet grow bigger?" she replied, "It’s okay. If my feet grow and the shoes become small, I can give them to another friend." She then said, "My dream is to be a chef," and "If I receive the support fund this time, I want to buy books about cooking."

Gian84 said, "My first donation was in 2013 when Taejun and I visited the homes of elderly people living alone and gave them 1 million won each," adding, "It’s the best thing I’ve done in my life so far, and I thought it was cool. I felt proud of myself. I hope others donate a lot too," encouraging others.

Netizens who watched the video responded warmly with comments such as, "Donating 1 million won each 12 years ago. No wonder he succeeded," "It’s really great that the money is deposited directly into the children’s accounts rather than to an organization," "Donations should definitely be widely publicized. Spread the word even more," "This is what good influence looks like," "I really like Gian84," "It must not be easy even if he earns a lot. Respect," "The only broadcaster I like," and "A sincere and warm person."
