Fan Clubs and Their Generous Donations
Last week, we highlighted some idols who spend their time doing good deeds, but this week, we’re giving special attention to those who don’t get as much notice - you guys, the fans!
Fan clubs have come a long way in Korea, from being recognized for fan wars to being written up in the news for their impressive donations and sweet hearts.
It’s become traditional for fan clubs to donate rice to celebrities, which are in turn, donated to charities or people in need. Fan clubs have gone above and beyond when it comes to doing good deeds in their favorite celeb’s names - and we’re here to acknowledge you guys for your efforts!
Just this past week, Kim Hyun Joong’s Japanese fans donated over 11 million won to the Kim Hyun Joong Scholarship Fund via the Beautiful Fund. The Kim Hyun Joong Scholarship fund has so far raised close to 200 million won, after it first was created by Kim Hyun Joong’s Korean fan club, Kim Hyun Joong Powerful S.
Kim Hyun Joong Powerful S also donated 10 million won under Kim Hyun Joong’s name to the Beautiful Fund campaign to help provide relief to Korea’s elderly suffering from the heat wave in the summer of 2012. Kim Hyun Joong was clearly touched by his fan club’s action, and ended up donating 50 million won of his own money to the campaign in return.
Note: We know fan clubs have been doing so much for a long time, and we′re sorry we can’t highlight them all, even though we love all the love and goodwill that′s being shared in the name of Korean entertainment!
