Cha Eun-woo is drawing attention by donating 100 million won to the Korean Red Cross to support recovery efforts from wildfires across the country.
Cha Eun-woo delivered the donation through the Korean Red Cross, saying, “It’s unfortunate that the dry weather and strong winds are rapidly spreading the wildfires and increasing the scale of the damage.”
“I would like to offer my condolences to the victims who have lost their precious daily lives, and my gratitude to everyone working hard to put out the wildfires and rescue the victims.”
The donation will be used for wildfire recovery efforts and support for the victims. Cha Eun-woo donated the proceeds from his first solo photo exhibition,
