K-Drama Writer Kim Eun-sook and CEO Yoon Ha-rim Donate $30,000 Worth of Water to Drought-Stricken Gangneung

Renowned K-drama writer Kim Eun-sook and CEO Yoon Ha-rim of Hwa-dam Entertainment have generously donated water worth approximately $30,000 to the city of Gangneung, which is currently suffering from a severe drought.

On the 8th, the Hope Bridge Korea Disaster Relief Association announced that both Kim Eun-sook and Yoon Ha-rim contributed water valued at $15,000 each to aid the residents of Gangneung, who are facing hardships due to the prolonged drought.

Kim Eun-sook, a native of Gangneung, expressed her concern for the residents enduring the drought. She stated, "Upon hearing about the significant inconvenience and difficulties faced by the local residents due to the drought, I decided to make a small contribution. I am worried that the drought might persist as there is still no forecast of rain in Gangneung. I hope for rain to come soon and improve the situation."

Both Kim and Yoon are members of the 'Hope Bridge Honors Club,' a group of major donors. Since their initial donation during the Sewol ferry disaster in 2014, they have consistently contributed to relief efforts during national disasters such as floods, wildfires, and earthquakes.
