Singer Sean successfully concluded the March 1st Independence Movement Day donation marathon, which he has been hosting for the past five years, this year as well, donating 220 million won.

The ‘2025 March 1st Run’, hosted by Sean and Habitat for Humanity Korea for Humanity Korea for Humanity Korea, is a donation marathon to remember the sacrifices and dedication of independence activists and to ensure that their descendants can live in a comfortable living environment. This year, it received a lot of attention, with 3,100 individual participants recruited in just one month.

On the 1st, Sean joined 31 runners including actors Jin Seon-kyu, Lee Jae-yoon, and Lim Se-mi as the final runner of the 31km course at Sangam World Cup Park in Seoul, and ran an additional 3.1km with approximately 1,000 individual participants.

The entire participation fee of the 3,100 individual participants and corporate sponsorships were donated to Habitat for Humanity Korea. The donation of approximately 224 million won will be used to support comfortable and safe homes for the descendants of independence activists.

Sean said, “I am glad that the ‘3.1 Run’, which runs while reflecting on the meaning of March 1st, is growing with the participation of more people every year,” and expressed his gratitude, saying, “It is meaningful to be able to help the descendants of independence activists live in a better environment.”

Sean has been conducting a campaign to improve the living environment for the descendants of independence activists on March 1st and Liberation Day every year through the ‘8.15 Run’ since 2020 and the ‘3.1 Run’ since 2021. With the donations raised so far, new homes have been dedicated to 17 generations of descendants of independence activists, and the 18th and 19th houses are currently being built.

Meanwhile, Sean is leading the way in creating a diverse donation culture through ‘Good Running’. He is exerting a positive influence by improving the housing of descendants of independence activists, donating the proceeds from pictorials, sponsoring children in Korea and abroad, and volunteering to deliver briquettes, and the amount he has donated to places in need across society amounts to approximately 6 billion won.
