The hometown love contribution donation event held at Jeju Provincial Office that day was made possible by the visit of Youngwoong Era regional leaders nationwide during their workshop at Jeju Gyorae Natural Recreation Forest. The Youngwoong Era fan club established a connection with Jeju through Lim Young-woong’s appointment as a model for Samdasoo.
They launched the Jeju hometown love contribution campaign on the occasion of the nationwide regional leaders’ workshop held in Jeju and have been delivering donations to Jeju. As return gifts for the donations, they have chosen items such as Jeju Samdasoo.
Vice Mayor Byun said, "Thank you for donating hometown love contributions to Jeju with a heart that loves Jeju," and added, "We ask for your continued unwavering love for Jeju."
Youngwoong Era stated, "Through tours of the Samdasoo and Hallasan soju factories and visits to Gotjawal, we have come to know Jeju, which we only vaguely knew before, more deeply," and continued, "We are glad to have learned more deeply about Jeju’s pristine natural image through tours of the Samdasoo and Hallasan soju factories and visits to Gotjawal. We will continue to support Jeju."
Meanwhile, the Youngwoong Era fan club spreads positive influence through various regional donations and volunteer activities. In Jeju, they have been continuously active with activities such as Udo plogging and donations of goods and money to vulnerable groups. They also continue their donation and sharing activities by contributing hometown love donations to Pocheon City, the hometown of Lim Young-woong.
Meanwhile, the hometown love contribution system allows individuals to donate up to 5 million KRW annually to local governments other than their place of residence. Donors receive a full tax credit for donations up to 100,000 KRW, a 16.5% tax credit on the amount exceeding 100,000 KRW, and return gifts worth up to 30% of the donation amount. It is known that Youngwoong Era preferred Samdasoo as the return gift.
