While the large-scale forest fires in the Yeongnam region have been rising anxiety across South кσяєα for days, news of donations from celebrities has been continuously emerging, healing hearts.
A representative from the Community Chest of Korea shared, "This is a situation where we are in dire need of help to recover from the worst wildfires in history."
They continued, "Seeing the good deeds of stars who donated in advance, the number of stars participating in donations has increased, and this has also helped inform celebrities who want to donate but do not know how to do".
Especially among the 'angels of donation', Jungkook stands out with his "world-clαѕѕ donation". On the 28th of this month, the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association announced that BTS's Golden Maknae donated 1 billion KRW to support forest fire relief efforts in the Gyeongbuk and Gyeongnam regions.
This is considered the largest donation from a public individual since the fire broke out earlier this week!
Of which, 500 million KRW will be used to provide emergency aid, including necessities and relief supplies for those who have unfortunately ℓσѕт their homes. The remaining 500 million KRW will support raising public awareness about wildfire prevention, as well as improving working conditions for firefιgнтers who are fιgнтing against the fires day and night.
Previously, in 2023, Jungkook made netizens respect with a donation of 1 billion KRW to Seoul National University Children's Hospital to support children in difficult circumstances to receive better medical treatment.

After the article was published, кσяєαn netizens could not help but express their admiration and impression of the amount of money that Jungkook had donated. Especially in the case of K-pop idols who have close ties with their fandoms, Jungkook is creating a precedent of great significance.
