V (Kim Taehyung) has donated ₩200 Million to help victims of South Korea's forest fire.
🗨️ "I express my deepest respect to those who have been affected by this sudden disaster and to the firefighters, firefighters, and volunteers who are risking their lives and working hard on the front lines every day. While doing evening roll call during my military service, I felt so bad watching the news, and I felt even worse thinking that some of my comrades' families may have suffered damage. Fortunately, the forest fire has mostly been put out, but I hope that there will be no more casualties, and I hope that my donation will be of some small help."
Of this donation, 100 million won will be used for emergency relief activities and recovery support for victims in forest fire-stricken areas such as Sancheong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, Uiseong-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and Ulju-gun, Ulsan.
The remaining 100 million won will be used to support the recovery and improved treatment of firefighters who worked hard to put out the fires and rescue lives on the scene.
Kim Cheol-soo, chairman of the Korean Red Cross, said, "I am deeply grateful for this valuable donation to protect the safety and lives of the people," and "We will execute the donation transparently and responsibly so that it can be a real help to the disaster victims and firefighters."
