Fan cafe members said, “We were deeply moved by Lim Young-woong’s active donations not only through his singing but also for socially vulnerable groups,” and added, “As fans, we wanted to share that heart and thus decided to donate.”

Mayor Jeong Heon-yul stated, “It is very beautiful to see the singer and fans united in taking the lead to help socially disadvantaged people,” and added, “We will ensure that the donations are properly delivered to those in need according to the donors’ intentions.”

Meanwhile, ‘Youngwoong Era Jeonbuk’ was established in 2017, centered around the Jeonju, Iksan, Jeongeup, Gimje, Muju, and Jangsu areas. Following Lim Young-woong’s wishes, they practice donation and volunteer work. Currently, with about 90 members, they have been continuing donation activities annually since 2020.

So far, ‘Youngwoong Era Jeonbuk’ has continued sharing activities, including donating 7 million won to the Jeonbuk Spinal Cord Injury Association and receiving a plaque of appreciation, as well as donating 6.16 million won to the Green Umbrella Children’s Foundation. Additionally, at the end of last year, they directly visited areas struggling with heavy snowfall to carry out volunteer work, drawing attention for the positive image reflected by the singer and fans through their donations.
