On the 12th day of heavy rain damage, both Suzy and Yoo Jae-seok gave their fortunes
Donation is the giving of property, etc., for a cause without expecting anything in return. Individual donations also contribute to change, but donations from celebrities who are receiving public attention have a greater meaning besides financial support.
From the past, celebrities have come forward to deal with issues such as natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and forest fires, as well as infectious diseases such as the corona, and have become a source of strength and comfort. When one person started, the good influence spread more widely.
Record-breaking torrential rain fell across the country for nearly two weeks from the 9th. The continuous rain continued to cause casualties. 46 people lost their lives and 4 people are missing. Property damage was also severe. Flood-stricken areas appeared nationwide. It is a difficult time for everyone, both those who have experienced it and those who have seen it.
