Meanwhile, recently in Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do, an anonymous donor left a paper box containing about 20 million KRW in cash in front of the Administrative Welfare Center and disappeared.

On the 16th, Yonhap News reported that an unidentified paper box was found in front of the entrance of the Administrative Welfare Center in Simgok 1-dong, Wonmi-gu, Bucheon-si, Gyeonggi-do.

The box had a note that read, "It's not much, but I hope it will be used for families in difficulty." CCTV footage from the scene confirmed that around 7:06 a.m. that day, a man estimated to be in his 30s or 40s was seen leaving the box behind.

The box contained a total of 19,458,560 KRW, consisting of 362 bills of 50,000 KRW notes, 104 bills of 10,000 KRW notes, and various coins totaling 318,560 KRW. The Simgok 1-dong office announced that the donation would be allocated as a special project fund for the local community security council to help neighbors in need. A representative of Simgok 1-dong said, "Looking at the money in the box, it seems to have been carefully saved over a long time," and added, "We thank the anonymous philanthropist who donated a considerable amount of money."
