SEVENTEEN, IVE, and NCT's Mark Lead KPOP Stars in Generous Donations for Wildfire Relief

In a heartwarming display of generosity, SEVENTEEN has donated 1 billion KRW to aid residents affected by the wildfires in Ulsan, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam regions, as announced by the Hope Bridge National Disaster Relief Association on the 27th. SEVENTEEN expressed their wishes for the donation to bring some comfort to those impacted by the disaster, also extending their condolences to the victims and those going through tough times.

IVE's six members collectively contributed 200 million KRW to support wildfire victims and improve the working conditions and recognition of firefighters. They shared their hopes for the donation to help affected individuals recover their daily lives swiftly.

NCT's Mark also stepped forward with a 100 million KRW donation for wildfire recovery efforts in the affected areas. Known for his quiet philanthropy, Mark is a member of the Hope Bridge Honors Club, a group of high-value donors who often contribute without publicizing their actions.

Other artists, including LE SSERAFIM with 50 million KRW, OH MY GIRL's Arin with 20 million KRW, and ZEROBASEONE's Kim Jiwoong and singer Lee Mijoo with 10 million KRW each, have also made significant contributions to the cause.

The Hope Bridge Association is currently providing emergency relief supplies to the wildfire-stricken areas and has deployed relief vehicles to temporary shelters. They are also considering additional support in collaboration with local governments. Donations for the wildfire relief can be made through the Hope Bridge website, Naver Happy Bean, and Kakao's Together platform.
