💝 On July 21, the Community Chest of Korea (also known as "Fruit of Love") announced, "Yunho donated ₩50 million (approx. $36,000 USD) on July 19 to support victims of the severe flooding."
The funds will go toward emergency aid, temporary housing, living expenses, and recovery efforts for those affected by the historic rainfall across various regions.
🗣 Yunho shared, "I made this donation with the hope of offering even a small bit of strength to those suffering from the sudden storm damage. I sincerely hope everyone stays healthy and regains a sense of normalcy soon."
