Lim Young-woong Donates 200 Million Won for Low-Income Patients on His Birthday; Cumulative Donations Reach 2.5 Billion Won

Singer Lim Young-woong has donated 200 million won to support low-income patients in celebration of his birthday.

According to Korea University Medical Center on June 16, Lim and his agency, Mulgogi Music, delivered the donation in the name of his fan club, "Hero Generation." Lim and Mulgogi Music each contributed 100 million won. The funds will be used to cover medical expenses for low-income and vulnerable patients receiving treatment at Korea University Anam Hospital, Guro Hospital, and Ansan Hospital.

Lim has consistently made donations to mark his birthday every year. He has been active in various areas of philanthropy, including supporting vulnerable groups, disaster relief, and sponsoring children and adolescents. According to his agency, Lim's cumulative donations to date have reached 2.5 billion won.

Yoon Eul-sik, Executive Vice President for Medical Affairs at Korea University and Medical Center President, expressed his gratitude, stating, "Lim Young-woong's act of sharing, which always sings of hope without forgetting the marginalized, will be a great strength to the patients. We will deeply cherish his intentions and use the funds meaningfully for patients suffering from illnesses."

Lim's good deeds are also having a positive impact on fandom culture. In 2021, he asked his fans to donate to those in need instead of giving him gifts or support. He has consistently practiced sharing on meaningful days and during times of national disaster. This "good influence" created together by the artist and his fandom is being evaluated as an exemplary case of a new fandom culture.
