South Korea was greatly affected by torrential rains and heavy floods across the regions. It destroyed infrastructure buildings, farms, and made several homeless. Apart from the government's efforts to help the victims, many Korean celebrities also went the extra mile to share their earnings to the relief campaign.
The Korea Disaster Relief Association is the organizing committee responsible for distributing goods and food reliefs to the affected area. They receive donations from different organizations, most notably, from these public figures.
On August 6, Park Shin Hye was reported to have made a generous donation of 100 million won, or approximately 84,000 USD.
The association also revealed that GOT7's Jinyoung donated 20 million won, approximately 16,800 USD, without his agency knowing. The idol-actor did the meaningful deed without a buzz in his intention to help the flood victims.
