Han Donghoon Campaign: "Fundraising Committee Surpasses 1.175 Billion Won in Just One Hour"

Fundraising Committee Begins Accepting Donations at 9 a.m.

The fundraising committee for former People Power Party leader Han Donghoon surpassed 1.175 billion won just one hour after launching its fundraising campaign on April 21.

According to Han's campaign, as of 10:31 a.m. on this day, the fundraising committee had exceeded 1.175 billion won in donations just one hour after beginning its fundraising drive. The committee began accepting donations at 9:00 a.m.

Earlier, at 9:54 a.m., Han's campaign announced to the media that the fundraising amount had surpassed 1.05 billion won within just 40 minutes.

The speed of fundraising by a candidate’s committee is widely regarded as an indicator of their popularity in elections. Among the candidates running in the upcoming 6·3 early presidential election, the fundraising committee for Lee Jae-myung, former leader of the Democratic Party of Korea and the leading contender, announced on April 15 that it had reached the legal limit of 2.94 billion won on the very first day of fundraising.

Meanwhile, Han recently appointed Kim Hanna, the wife of the late Sergeant Han Sang-guk, who was killed in action during the Second Battle of Yeonpyeong, as the chairperson of his fundraising committee. Kim also served as the fundraising committee chair for Han’s campaign during the People Power Party convention held in July last year.
