Hair designer Cha Hong donated 50 million won to the Green Umbrella Foundation for emergency support for children in COVID-19 high-risk areas.

Cha Hong has consistently donated and volunteered for underprivileged children. Especially during the COVID-19 crisis, he actively supported emergency kits (food and infection prevention supplies) through donations to vulnerable children who could not receive meals or buy masks due to lack of living expenses.

IU, who has been continuously making headlines for her ongoing donations, donated a total of 200 million won on the 27th. She donated 100 million won to Good Neighbors for the protection of low-income and vulnerable groups, and another 100 million won to the Korean Medical Association for medical staff fighting COVID-19.

Also, the couple Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin conveyed their warm hearts by each donating 100 million won to Community Chest of Korea, asking that the funds be used to help medical staff and vulnerable groups. Actor Song Joong-ki, who is staying in Colombia, South America for a film shoot, generously donated 100 million won to the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association, saying, "Let’s stop the spread of COVID-19 and overcome this crisis."

In addition, broadcaster Yoo Jae-suk and actress Kim Hye-soo also donated 100 million won each to the same foundation, and Kang Ho-dong donated 100 million won to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation. The donations will be used through the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation to support vulnerable groups, focusing on children and families facing social isolation due to COVID-19 infection.

Actress Son Ye-jin, who has been involved in various donation activities such as supporting children with disabilities and pediatric patients with incurable diseases, delivered 100 million won to the Daegu Community Chest of Korea, saying, "Daegu is my hometown where I was born and raised and where my parents live, so it is a very special place to me. The news about Daegu was even more heartbreaking and painful."

Furthermore, many celebrities including director Bong Joon-ho of "Parasite," Kim Yuna, Kang Daniel, Irene, Jung Ryeo-won, and Gong Yoo have joined the COVID-19 donation campaign, continuing a wave of compassion for those suffering from the pandemic.
